Ole Miss reax

This week has been crazy thus the late post. Auburn played a complete game in the 2nd half to pull away and beat the Rebel Black Bears 41-23 last Sat night in JHS. Auburn started really hot and got out to a 14-0 lead, but two turnovers and shotty run defense allowed Ole Miss to tie the game at 17 heading to half. Auburn came out with a vengence in the 2nd half and scored 24 straight points before giving up a meaningless touchdown with 1 second left. Funny thing, Ole Miss got an offensive penalty with less than a minute to go. By rule, 10 seconds were supposed to be taken off the clock, but Penn Wagers (the head ref) did not do that, thus allowing Ole Miss to have time to run another play and score against our 2nd string. I hate giving up late meaningless TD's but oh well, such is life.

Auburn played well in the 2nd half but the first half effort was not up to par. Auburn made too many mistakes and the D-line was getting pushed around. That cannot happen! Our D-line has underperformed for the most part this year and has been a big disappointment overall. I know they are still young, but I have not seen them play a complete game even against inferior opponents like FAU. Hopefully, they will continue to improve and play lights out the last three games. Moseley played really well going 12-15 for 160 yards and four touchdowns. Auburn has to have that kind of effort from now on to have a chance to win at least two out of the next three.

Auburn has this week off to rest and heal to get ready to play the Dawgs in Athens. This will be a hard fought game and will really test the meddle of this group. I think they have a great shot at winning, but will have to play all four quarters. Georgia will be looking to win to probably win the East this year and keep Mark Richt around for a little while longer.
