DirtyDave said:I think we beat Tennessee, LSU, and AUbarn.
Tenn is overrated again. They should have been beaten by Georgia last night. If Georgia had our QB they would have won by 30.
LSU has a great QB that makes terribly stupid decisions. That bodes well for our defense and our offense if they can force a couple TO's then we will beat them.
AU has a bad QB and an even worse defense. Not to mention that TT makes at least one call per game that could cost his team the game. Such as the onside kick against USC or the run to the side punt against Ark yesterday.
We have a couple of issues with playcalling in the redzone, but I thought we did ok with that yesterday. We went into Gainesville and could have beaten what is looking like one of the best teams in the nation. We went into Fayetteville and beat ARK, although the scoreboard didn't show it. After yesterday, that looks more and more like quite an accomplishment.

So if UGA had JPW as its QB they score 81 points Sat night. interesting :shock:

5. John P. Wilson...... UA SO 6 169 102 5 60.4 1373 9 228.8
6. Brandon Cox......... AU JR 6 123 76 2 61.8 1017 5 169.5
All the credit in the world to JPW for being a first year starter and performing the way he is... but really, what you said about Cox is pretty much off.
Losing basically a whole group of WRs, one could notice just based off the stats that Auburn has not used the passing game as much as it should be. Cox has a pretty good % at 61.8, but not enough attempts to be noted as a leader in yards or TDs this year. Still by no means does this resemble a "bad qb."
I really dont understand your defense comment. Sure, we were spanked by Arkansas and failed to stop the run. Every dog has its day. At times this year, our defense has looked vulnerable. But... one could argue that scoring defense may be the most important defensive stat to look at correct?
In that dept., Auburn has been fantastic. First in the SEC in redzone defense. Fourth in total defense. Second in sacks. 3rd in the conference, 6th in the nation in scoring defense.
That does not resemble a horrible defense in the least bit.

Brandon Cox is the most overrated QB in the league. Every game I watch him play I hear the commentators talk about how good he is. BS!! He holds the ball way too long and when he throws on 2 or 3 step drops he hits his receivers in the ankles or one hops the ball to them. He will cause AU to go 8-4 or 9-3 this year.

Again, I disagree. I dont even know where to start on that reply. There are games in which Brandon was the very reason we were in it. Just seems like you hate hearing the praise. To keep it short, there is no way Brandon Cox is the reason AU goes 8-4 or 9-3.
Still waiting on why you note our defense is even worse.
