Strengths<div>
</div><div>- well 17 it, no one wants to hear the positives, so lets go straight to the negatives</div><div>
</div><div>Weaknesses</div><div>
</div><div>- Special teams - no excuses, not up to SEC standards at all</div><div>
</div><div>- Blocking on screens - i think we got schooled 4 times by totally missing blocks, letting 1 guy ruin a play that would have resulted in 20+ yards</div><div>
</div><div>- Relf's passing - threw at least 10 passes too long or off target. passes that his 2 backups would have completed easily</div><div>
</div><div>- Too much reliance on Relf - We put the game on Relf's back all game long, running him play after play. A little too one dimensional for a mediocre defense. Won't cut it against a team that may lay him out (like LSU)</div><div>
</div><div>- clock management - terrible, absolutely no excuses see auburn at the end of the 1st half</div><div>
</div><div>- tackling - we have lost the edge we once had here. we got worn out on our left side defense,embarrassing.</div><div>
</div><div>- penalties - awful</div><div>
</div><div>ok a few positives: we kept our cool on the road when we got down and responded and didnt give up even with a few bad calls, getting more mentally tough. many great calls on offense, handful of good defensive plays</div>

a kickoff man that can get it in the endzone. Why do we always have these kickers that can't bust a grape and get touchbacks. I can't remember ever having a kicker that could do that.

I give major kudos to the staff for coaching up kids but we've failed miserably in recruiting LBers and DEs. It seems like this staff likes to convert high school safeties into LBs. Problem with that theory is that it takes them a while to understand how to play the position if they ever do. All those sweeps across the end today would have been strung out our disrupted by average LBs.

And we haven't had any type of pass rush on the DL in Mullen's tenure. I saw redshirt and true freshmen for Auburn constantly getting to Relf and we have juniors and seniors who couldn't beat Auburn's young OLineman.

So with that said, pay those 17ers some Bryan Juicy Dogs ....

********. He had 13 incompletions on the day and at least 5 of them hit WR right in the hands. I think you give Wonder Tyler and Favre a little too much credit.
