Utah State about to beat Auburn

[MeanMag]

Not "shortfalls" per se... One game. Looking at other young and rebuilding programs gives me added confidence that we'll get there as well. Others with similar handicaps are performing well, ergo so can we.

I wouldn't trade our staff/facility/location with many. Long term, we're in a great position. We'll be a lot better by our next Belt game, too.

I just don't know all that much about USU's line or how similar they are to us to feel comfortable making those comparisons. USU has had let down's in the past as well.

You are right though, there are plenty of things more miraculous than a young O-line taking coaching and getting better. Put it into the realm of very real possibility. There is plenty to look forward to.

Choke job

[ValleyBoy]

I was at the Auburn Utah State game and I can say Utah State did not choke. Utah State came to Auburn ready to play. Auburn' defense could not stop Utah State when they had to. Auburn was lucky to come out with a win but sometimes that is the way the ball bounces. Everyone in Jordan-Hare Stadium knew that to have a chance to win auburn had to recover the onside kick. By recovering the onside kick Auburn put there self in the position to have a chance to win the game.

Offensively Auburn execution stopped them most of the day. Utah State played there hearts out and just came up on the short end of the stick.
