Jackson Arnold after week 3

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Arnold's TD celebrations couldn't be more effeminate if he got on his knees and sucked an actual dick.

 

[Rolltide24]

And he’s hit 134 on the ground tonight. Baylor playing 2024 Bama defense out there.

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

That's such a guy punt for Baylor. Stop them and likely get them to punt the ball.... only for a bullshit flag to be thrown.

 

[Rolltide24]

Haynes King just put Prime and the Buffs in a corner with a 45 yard scamper with 1 minute to go. Holy running QB’s tonight. Geez, is this an omen for the season?

 

[24and7]

Auburn may actually be a pretty good team... They put up a lot of points tonight, Running a very vanilla offense...A lot of plays they kept close to the vest tonight..

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

That's now 200+ YAC on the night for Baylor. Ouch.

Are you watching the same game with us?

The reason they scored 38 points is because Baylor run defense is real bad. Ppl not hitting right gaps. Auburn is actually lucky tonight because this wouldn't fly against a good defense.

They're not running vanilla offense. You didn't hear what Hugh said about Jackson... How he can't stay in pocket.

Baylor has 470 yards of offense and only 24 points. Feels like a lot of yards and little points.

 

[#80]

Baylor is bad no other way to put it .... how long will they put up with DA.

I haven't seen much Hugh Freeze like big plays.. I've just seen Auburn out physical-ing Baylor..And Arnold doing a lot of improvisational plays.. You'll probably see a lot more stuff when they hit the SEC schedule...

What stuff? He runs same shit every year.

The big time receivers not getting fed..He brought a lot of big time receivers in.. They got a little attention but not much... if he wants to keep those guys he better feed them more... that's basically what I'm saying the receiving game was more subdued... one of the commentators kind of alluded to that during the game..

It was odd that they had only 108 yards passing and the leading receiver had 26 yards. Only 17 passing attempts. I’ve got to imagine that will be the low for the year in attempts. They have some good receivers on the roster.

By far the most dangerous part of their offense.

IMO, their OL is much improved, thanks to the portal... but their RB's are SEC average at best. I'm still not sure hat to make of Arnold yet... and he won't be tested again until week 4. But in SEC play, he won't be running free all game long like he was tonight... he will have his moments, but after tonight (and last year) teams will scheme to limit what he does on the ground (and that's if he doesn't get broken in half by a LB and find his shoulder in pieces... he doesn't have the frame to hold up long if he's going to take hits over and over). I wasn't overly impressed with his passing, but I'd imagine he will improve on that some as the season wears on. Regardless, unlike Thorne, he didn't turn it over and that was likely the difference tonight (with an assist from some shitty calls that from that shitty crew).

So many questions come to mind ...

I think I'm with you on this. Can't turn over the ball if you're running nonstop.

And if Baylor is a little more "with it" or a bounce goes their way, they easily recover that backwards pass and would have been set up nicely on auburn's end of the field. That could have changed a lot.

What game are you going to be watching? My plan is to try Texas vs Ohio St first, and then perhaps the Miss St vs S. Miss game. I doubt that those ugly orange teams will be the ones chosen!

I think that UK game is one to keep an eye on.
