Say what you want. Coach O and other coaches are in their first year together and it has taken some time to gel with each other along with the players as well.

This is his first head coaching opportunity since Ole Miss and I think it just has taken time with some pressure, learning from losses, and better leadership from the players as well...Their season is definitely getting better and I think they will continue to improve week after week.

I'm not saying they beat Alabama, but it is refreshing to see improvement the last few weeks and then literally having the largest comeback in death Valley and over 30+ years

Hopefully, the trend continues one game at a time.

We'll see. They were a TD away from running away with the game.

We just need the atmosphere that was on that stadium throughout the season no matter what. It will build success.

Young players are learning and growing up. New OC with a new system. Thin D line getting healthy. It was always going to be one of those years where we would improve as the year progressed.

I don't excuse Troy, but the reaction from this fanbase at every turn is to hyperventilate.

So now we don’t give credit to the fricking defense anymore? Auburn put up 51, 49 & 44 points in three SEC going into Saturday. They got off to a fast start off of some LSU miscues. Had Chark not fumbled and Greedy not hit a guy 5yds out of bounds that 1st quarter might have looked totally different. I can’t believe how many “buts” the rant is coming up with after such a great win.

Yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic. We should be cautious about the end results when the methods are still a bit shaky. UF and Auburn both dropped pick-6s, and if those are caught, we're having a very different conversation today.

I'd like to see a complete game on both sides of the ball before I'm fully on board, and Ole Miss offers a nice opportunity for that.

Developing a Good team takes time, they are moving well I would say.

I wish we had two more games before bama but it is what it is.

We've seen LSU get skullfricked by MSU and dominated by a Sun Belt team this year. It's pretty reasonable to be cautious about these improvements.

Toliver and Jackson both also dropped pick 6s yesterday.

I'm glad O is getting paid $3.5 million to figure it out as he goes along.

I don't remember Toliver's but Jackson's was a product of Auburn trying to come back with little time left.

The dropped Auburn pick would have made it 30-14. Who knows how the game plays out from there. The dropped UF pick would have essentially ended that game.

Look, I'm not trying to shite on the win, I'm just pointing out why there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic. This team hasn't put together a complete game since the opening week. I'd like to see one against Ole Miss on Saturday.

And if 2 tds dont get called back, the Miss St. Game could have went different. Hell look at any Miles season and you will find multiple games that could have went either way. You can try all you want to discredit the win, but a win is a win. 75%of all games can turn either way with a play or two. Stop trying to find shite to get a negative outlook.

I'm sorry that I'm not ready to say everything is hunky dory. I'm looking for complete game from this team. Is that so much to ask?

I'm not saying everything is perfect and I agree they need to continue to improve, but...
It takes time to have success- it's not overnight. Patience might not be a bad thing here...

They have had to get a running game with Guice less than 100%, O- line and D-line lack of depth, and a new coaching regime....
What are you expecting?

Being invited to parties is not one of your strong suits, is it? Being so pessimistic will make your brain shrivel up. Only cure is to eat more Crow.

Enjoy the win Nancy.

I guess we could also say what happens if we didn’t have that TD called back on 3rd play vs Miss. St...could have changed the whole complexion of that game. Also had Troy not been allowed to set up fg unit at end of 1st half.

I'm wondering if Canada stays now, hopefully if we continue to improve he can get over the early rock start instead of leaving

I suppose one thing to work on is these slow starts.

Offense AND Defense. Except for BYU, I'd say we actually look worse on defense in the first 15min than offense.

The first quarter smelled an awful lot like the MSU game. Especially after Chark fumbled.

Divergent paths later on though.
