That said, the offense still played a very good game, despite the play calling.

It hurts ball security, but other than that it helps the offense. It’s much harder on the DBs than the WRs because the DBs don’t know where they’re going.

That type of reasoning is so stupid. That door swings both ways and Auburn fans could easily say the same thing with the coulda woulda shoulda.

Of course they played on the same field.
His point was that a sloppy field is a great equalizer.

Expect more of the same from Alabama
Bama doesn’t have Barner’s front 7. No doubt Saban will game plan something based off what they saw but doubt it’s that.

What was the blown whistle?
Which I agree with him... if that's what he's referring to.
However, Chase getting caught from behind and this play are the same series, that's not two TDs... just one.

That's why you need smart coaches who can make adjustments on the fly to combat these type situations. Experiences like this only make you better. I don't think there's anything bama can do that this offense hasn't seen. So what ever defense they come out with Brady will know how to attack it. But that playing conservative like LSU did late in the game yesterday is something they cannot afford to do against bama. Because AU didn't have the offense to catch back up, bama does. The play calling yesterday was more like the Miles years. I mean, if you can't trust the best QB in college football to make throws late in the game then you have a problem. IDK what the deal with that was.

I agree that it brought back memories of the Miles era.
Maybe it was the sloppy wet field which caused some frustration.
They got away with the conservative play calling because the defense was playing exceptionally well for the most part.

They called the end of the game conservatively because the defense was playing exceptionally well. Then when DBs went down and AU scored a TD, they had an opportunity to clock it & did.

For whatever reason (reads, real, or imagined) we played to the strength of their defense in the redzone. I do NOT believe it was 'conservatism'. I do think alot of it was reads and AU was disguising beautifully to get us to do that. Some of it was that we had too much success in the middle of the field the 'if it's working, keep doing it' mentality took over. I'll chalk this one up to a learning lesson.
The biggest lesson is: Even if the read says run into their teeth & strength, don't. That is called a 'mis-read'.

In those conditions against that defense, Burrow was a great game manager. It will go unnoticed nationally, but his play against AU was one of his best performances this year.
Dude got popped in the mouth & bounced back again & again.
Burrow was masterful moving around in the pocket to buy more time or made the right decision to check out and run +90% of that game. He held it too long only once or twice and credit AU for making us pay for that.

I think the assumption that this game hurt his Heisman chances is wrong. Add to that OU lost, Tua didn't play, Taylor and Wisky just sucked... in comparison Burrow willing LSU to a top-10 victory with arm and legs.
Yes, we're supposed to play better than that, even against what might be the toughest D we'll face until Clemson in the playoffs. But 'scrappiness' is winning over 'stats', at least right now.

Why would anyone be implying the Auburn game hurt Burrow’s Heisman chances?
He was 75% accurate, threw for 320+.
We scored only 23 and beat a Top 10 team? Oh the horror.
He threw 1 INT? So he’s human after all. And humans still win the Heisman.

I was NOT saying you, or I, thought that. Just pointing out that I was on the lookout for such statements in the post-game coverage and didn't really see it.
You seem to be reacting as if I'm saying such things... just the opposite. Oh the horror... I'm pointing out no one that matters is saying it. Just some people who don't matter.

Yes but it also means WRs can’t make their cuts to run the routes they normally would. Also makes it harder on QBs to throw accurately and for receivers to catch it. It greatly limits the passing game and that is without question our strength.

It wasn't good. As others have said, we needed to spread them out horizontally.
Is Ensminger taking back control of the offense?

No, I think it’s ridiculous that anyone would imply that Burrow or LSU had a ‘bad game’ against a Top 10 team.
Burrow threw for 300+ at 75% accuracy. That is nowhere close to ‘average.’ Anyone who thinks so is an absolute fool.

No, Gary Danielson says that “Enzinger” is.
