I think the aubbies got exactly what they deserved!

Alabama certainly is...

I had the exact thought when I saw the thread earlier today...almost looked for the video.

The Barners had a whopping 130yds of offense his last season on the sidelines as the OC with 0 pts scored. The 42-14 thumping on the Plains in 2011 was a good gauge to what they may produce this year. 7 pts came off a fumble recovery and the other came on a KO return. About 70 of those yards came on their last 2 drives.

Gus' smoke and mirror offense can give teams who've not played against it before some problems, but once you've seen it, it's not hard to figure out and have your athletes learn to stifle it. Is it too early to start the "Who will be the Barn's next coach" thread yet? (G)

I kind of feel like Petrino will find his way back to the sec shortly, AU could be on that list if two years of Gus fills the barn with new manure

Petrified.

Fills the roster with the same type of players they have is a better way of putting it...

Seldom do you see people refer to the fact he was right in the middle of all the mess that happened down there for three of the last four years. In their fans eyes, he's somehow separate because he spent a year away from the program.

While I'm not overly concerned, I admit I wonder what the purpose of this piece is suppose to be.

I seriously hope the Boogs aren't thinking they'll beat us just because they run a HUNH now. Whole country thinks because A&M beat an Alabama team that came off of an tough emotional and physical game versus LSU, that anyone that runs a HUNH can beat Alabama :crazy:.

 

[Mahout]

I am.

 

[bamaraider]

I am.

Why do you say that?

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Yeah we are scared..... PFFFFTTTTT

 

[beachfinder]

Short Bus Gus' offense works OK if you haven't seen it before... Once the opposing team figures it out, it ain't so tricky...

Teams with a coaching and talent problem are scared, but Saban and team are far from scared. Like what was already said aTm beat an Alabama team that was coming off an emotional game against LSU. Everybody will see a difference this year when we play aTm and they don't have the same success as they did last year. I will be surprised if they score more than 14 points against us.

if he had all the players he wanted i doubt it would be so laughable as it was the last go round. they had/have a systemic problem that he will have to deal with. will it be a formidable offense after that? i think so. will it win championships? i don't think so.

he better find a way to put some of his duckies on the defensive side of the ball. as bad as auburn's offense has been the last 2 seasons, their defense cost them games more often imo.. and led to a team dissolution out of basically despair. they were terrible.
