If this was addressed elsewhere, I apologize in advance. Schematically on O ( certainly not quality of athletes, mind ), does Mercer run anything similar to the barn? I hope so because it might give us a look.
Good news! Thank you sir.Yes

What do you mean no... did you see their offense this year? It's very similar to Auburn.No. But there are benefits for the team and staff with this game.
They don’t have anywhere near the talent that the barn has, but like I said the game does provide other benefits for the team and staff.What do you mean no... did you see their offense this year? It's very similar to Auburn.

They don't really have to have equal talent to provide reps for recognizing formations, motions and the like. In fact, I'd be willing to be that's the main reason we're playing them tomorrow...They don’t have anywhere near the talent that the barn has, but like I said the game does provide other benefits for the team and staff.
Exactly - the scout team rarely has the talent / skill level of Bam's next opponent, but seeing the types of plays in real time are helpful.They don't really have to have equal talent to provide reps for recognizing formations, motions and the like.

I thought auburn itself was the poor man's auburn.Mercer is like a poormans Auburn. Very similar offense.
I don’t think you understand the question being asked..They don’t have anywhere near the talent that the barn has, but like I said the game does provide other benefits for the team and staff.
Gonna have to say that again with a little more clarity.So watching the Alabama game today, Mercer's offense run today is not the same as the offense that you will see next week. You repped for a game that was not played.
Auburn's base offense has 2 RBs and 3 receivers. Mercer generally does the same thing, but today they did not. They added a TE for help in blocking and only had 1 RB on the field. The RB was lined up like Auburn, one step behind the QB and one step to the left or right, but the second RB wasn't there. This totally changed the motions and play choices.Gonna have to say that again with a little more clarity.
It seems to me that all of Gus's eye candy doesn't seem to pull people out of position as it did when he was new. Even with a huge talent advantage on ULAM, they were in a dogfight for a good bit of the game, had to keep starters in. The closer eye on pop passes seems to have cramped him a bit also. I honestly think ULAM might have beaten UGA...Auburn's base offense has 2 RBs and 3 receivers. Mercer generally does the same thing, but today they did not.

When you say 2 RBs don’t you really mean 1 RB and 1 FB? That’s not the same as 2 RBs because the fullback is in there primarily as a blocker and not a runner/receiver..Auburn's base offense has 2 RBs and 3 receivers.

I was using RB as a generic term. But either way, Mercer only had one of those players on the field at a time for most of their plays while Auburn has 2 in the backfield for almost all of their plays.When you say 2 RBs don’t you really mean 1 RB and 1 FB?
