I wish we would, but don't see it with this current offense. Hopefully Kiffin moves on soon and we get back to imposing our will on people and running the ball.

Interesting point on the combination of two DTs out and scripted plays.
On the one hand, we haven't been able to run consistently, when we want to (as opposed to when the D plays nickel or dime), all year.
On the other hand, Auburn's D isn't all that good to begin with, and they're missing two interior linemen.
Of course, our best OL is banged up at best, realistically limited, and worst case not effective; our best blocking TE is out, and neither Yeldon nor Henry have been fully healthy all year.
I think we test the interior, but I'm not expecting a lot different outcome than if everyone on both sides were healthy -- which would be inconsistency, especially when they have safeties up in the box.
My personal goal for the running game is what we've seen all year, minus the incredibly ill-timed fumbles.
Man, I'd love it if you're right. It's just that, after 11 games of inconsistent running, I have a hard time seeing how it suddenly changes in the 12th.I think we finally run with authority in this game. Factor is TJ Yeldon. He hasnt' been healthy all season long. When healthy, He plays well.. like he did against MSU. I think we're going to try and run between tackle to test the DT to see how it goes. I wouldn't be surprised if we are still scripting plays well into first half. Auburn have issues with tackling big runners such as Henry and then we have Jones and Henry... Could be too much for them.
This offense has already gained more yards than any Bama team in history.I wish we would, but don't see it with this current offense. Hopefully Kiffin moves on soon and we get back to imposing our will on people and running the ball.

Maybe they would throw it to him more if he caught the passes that came his way .Howard? I assume you mean OJ Howard? Before the game, we need someone to introduce him to our QB's. It doesn't seem like they know who he is.

They drop 1 out of 10. OJ seems to drop 1 out of every 2 or 3. Big difference junior..I agree. OJ has dropped lot of passes too... To be fair... CJ has done that as well. Well Cooper too.... OH.. White too.. Oh.. Stewart too...
