Auburns Offensive Line

[MOAN]

After watching Auburn dismantle Ole Miss among other Auburn games I have watched this year their whole key to their success is the offensive line. They have 4 senior and 1 junior starters. And a couple more seniors and juniors backing them up.

Cam is a great player and all but their O-line makes his life much much easier. I have yet to hear him compliment his line although admittedly I haven't heard everything he has had to say in interviews. But he owes them big time and Auburn's success is totally on their backs.

That defense isn't going to wow anybody. But championships are won and lost in the trenches. And their offensive line gives them a chance more so than Cam in my mind.

Can you tell I am tired of all the Cam Newton love lol!!!

I agree. Auburn's O-Line IMO is better than ours. They protect Cam and open holes for the RBs.

Interesting comment made by one of the commentators during the game yesterday. He pointed out that Chizik met with each lineman this past week to assure them they're appreciated. I conclude that's to patch up any rifts that might have arisen from Cam's "It's all about me!" approach to having the incredible season he's having.

I agree. One game at a time.

I have a friend who's an Aubie, but fairly knowledgeable about the game.

He'll tell you in a heartbeat that the key to their success this year is the experience up front.

They're good.

ever hear of the uphill snowball effect? works wonders with young players and happens all the time in college football

The simple fact is they have not faced a defense like ours.

I agree about the Barn O-line. Our D-line hasn't exactly exceeded expectations this year. I think our group has great potential to be good in the years to come with more development, but right now I'd give a slight edge on the LOS to the barn when they are on O. We haven't pressured or hurried any qbs all year long, I'd be shocked if we're able to do against CN. Of course, I look for him to be running it a lot more that day than passing it.

Is this a "not" joke? "I left a very important word out :redface: not!

:tongue:

 

[CHATTBRIT]

I believe Cam Newton is too much in love with himself to think of complimenting the O line enough. His whole body language reads "Aren't I great?"

The simple fact is they (awbarn) have not faced a defense like ours. :smile:

German does that all the time. You have to wait until the end of the sentence to see if "nicht" is there to see which direction the statement is going...

Saban and co. are preparing for LSU.

Actually during the bye week Saban, and co. said that they would prepare for future opponents.

 

[RamJamHam]

Saban and co. are preparing for LSU.

They are now, but I bet their off week was not devoted solely to the Hatters.

 

[bamanut_aj]

didn't Saban and Co. dedicate a small portion of each week last year to a gameplan against florida, in anticipation of making the SECCG?
