re: if our D only would have attacked Newton like this...

If only we'd adjusted like Ted and Gene did.

They did adjust very well.

They werent able to run the ball all game.


in the 2nd half they supplemented the running game with short swing passes, short hitches. That put them in 2nd and 3rd and short the whole 2nd half. That fits right into Newton's strength. He is money in short yardage.


I kick myself thinking what we could have done had we sold out to stop the run more. Like I said, our secondary is much better than Bama's. I would have trusted them against Newton through the air. Auburn's 2 biggest plays of the game were seemingly busted coverages anyway. Shame on Bama for not making those plays, it cost them the game.
