Did this start at AU?

Watching all games this season and being at the first one, it seems like AU is where things really started to go wrong; not saying there weren't signs before.

Our first drive at AU was impressive although it ended with a fumble at the goal line. Defense shut them down and got a safety. We get the ball back and drive right down the field, unstoppable for a TD.

Those first two drives and our defensive stops made it look like we were headed for a blowout and the team was finaly clicking as we entered SEC play.

Then when Mett fumbled while being sacked, it seems like we have hit a brick wall from that point.

Started when we lost our all American left tackle and starting running back.

It started last season before Georgia.

can't really pinpoint it.

Mett's 2 fumbles made the offensive gameplan go into a shell.

since then, it's been a helluva struggle.

the UF game was just everything that was wrong rolled into one game.

You must have missed the Towson Game and we did not exactly light up North Texas either.

Looked solid against Washington, but I think they gave up early on. I think they were beat by Tiger Stadium.

It really started on a Monday night in 2005 against Tennessee. Can't believe we lost that one, but I gave them a pass as we were all dealing with hurricane Katrina.

Terrible recruiting if we can't stand to lose one player on the offensive line and one of FIVE running backs that we play in rotation.

All kidding and witty answers aside, this is the correct answer.

Seriously I'm Sorry but I called this back during the spring game...had hoped that something would chance by the season...but it is not getting any better so far combo of QB, WR, and OL!

While we had some stupid playcalls yesterday (Specifically from 2nd/goal from the UF 4)...I didn't think playcalling cost us nearly much at all yesterday.

Bottom line, the receivers blew this game. They had 5 drops (4 of which would have been for first downs, including the Copeland drop in that). Then on one completion way down the field we fumbled it away. That game goes squarely on them IMO.

No, I got Towson but Auburn was before Towson. Agree on NTS, which is why I said there were signs before.

Just seems like since that fumble at AU we have been in a funk.
