Not a win and an awful offensive performance by Auburn . . . but I am greatly encouraged by Auburn D. However, unless the D can start scoring, we may have a long year on the plain.

as i said before- I don't think clemson will score less the remainder of the year, and that is against a FSU D at some point that is every bit as good as anyone out there... Auburn will play D's just as tough at least twice more in LSU and Bama.  Sometimes a team needs help no matter how good they are.

Drew, just curious why you termed LSU playing with their food for a while?  Scoring TD's on the first two possessions, scoring 14 per quarter through 3 quarters and punting once on the night hardly feels like dicking around with an opponent, and is a nice change of pace from what we've seen from some of our other scrub games in recent years.  

Also, why do my paragraphs have no line breaks in them even though I'm putting them there?

EDIT:  Well of course now that I say it, it shows up correctly in this post.  In others it hasn't been.

i'm tracking on that bug, Sir- I think it happens most often when someone posts while you're typing one up, and you get that message "warning, another post... while you were typing" and makes you hit 'post' again... 

I didn't watch this game, Mike, except for highlights- i did, however, keep an eye on the boxscore during its play.  Was it not deep into the first (if there is such a thing) until LSU started lighting them up? 

Tiano gave up two intercepts, but put up 174 yards on LSU through the air... Bridges rushed 15 for 88... i had the distinct impression that LSU could have played even tighter on D than they did, but opted to rotate (which is commendable) instead, and which is, by my reckoning, "playing with their food"... if so, they played with their food all night instead of batting them around and then going for the kill.  Either way, the Moc's never had a chance.

That doesn't seem to have been the trouble with my posts over on the B12 forum earlier today.  I think I posted a few times in a row, so no one posted while I was typing, and I didn't get that notification.  But, you did say "most often."  Track away....

Gotcha.  If you didn't watch the game or are just unfamiliar with our pace, I guess it could seem that way.  UTC got the ball first and went on a FG drive that took a good 4 minutes off the clock right away.  Then we went on a TD drive that was slow and methodical, just like the rest of our two games so far.  We weren't playing around...like NBC, "This Is Us."  So it was probably 4 minutes or less to go by the time we scored, but we'd only had one possession.  Heck, against BYU last week, we were in the middle of our second possession, with BYU having only one, and the 1st quarter was over.  We're not getting many chunk plays, and the clock stays rolling in our games.  

Last week's BYU game was 2 hrs. 56 mins. from kickoff to end  :smiley_confused1:

I'm not positive, but I suspect a chunk of Tiano's yards came on their late TD drive against the bench.  And they did drive on us for a FG at the beginning of the game, but we weren't taking them lightly.  They just scripted a very good series and got the better of us for a bit.
