In fact both teams and the refs were so bad that this game was extremely hard to watch. The bottom line at Auburn is most of the recruiting news is propaganda to try and make everyone think that things are going better than they are. I am sorry, I want Auburn to do well but it is kind of obvious now. There are no highly ranked freshman linemen on the roster than can start a real resurgence of Auburn football. I am wondering if I will ever see an All-SEC left tackle at Auburn ever again. The same could be said at defensive tackle as well. The latter is making the young talent recruited at linebacker and defensive back look pretty bad.
I am honestly not sure what else to say. Auburn will have a chance in a few SEC games as they will just luck up and play good one game like they did last year against Arkansas. However things could also spiral quickly if they lose next week against Arkansas at home. Right now I see Bobby Petrino carving up this bad Auburn defense up but a lot of these teams have their own issues as well. I just wish Florida was on Auburn's schedule this year. On the flip side, I also watched a good bit of the Bama game at Wisconsin today and the reality is bitterly painful. Bama is better than Auburn at every position on the field except kicker by a pretty wide margin.
On the great quarterback debate, Hank Brown had a good game but I personally think Payton Thorne would also have had a good game. I will give credit and big props if Brown can lead a win over an SEC opponent. I have referenced next week's Arkansas game several times now. In my opinion it is looming large all things considered. Arkansas is not a juggernaut and it is at home plus last week's loss to Cal makes it even bigger and more important. Auburn and head coach Hugh Freeze can finally take one real positive step this season by winning next Saturday. In fact, looking at the Auburn schedule coming up after I would call it an absolute must-win game.
