I told you jokers after our game that this was a 5 loss team. I may have been too generous. I think we can discount that moral victory now.
Auburn is Awful

Auburn is not awful. They have a good team. Not great, but certainly not awful. UofL was just too young to take them out in the first game of the year. We're growing as a team, and UofK is still being UofK. Another moral victory for the Cats in front of their faithful fans.
I think everyone felt with the question marks on the offensive line the first game against Auburn was going to be tough. Auburn isn't bad but defensively they aren't very good especially since Lawson went down. Once he went out in the Louisville game the Louisville offense took off. Offensively they don't have that home run guy even 5 is really good. He killed both Louisville and KY.
Both UL and UK had their shot and both missed. Auburn will struggle to win many games in the Western Division.

I disagree. They are right there at the cusp of being a top 25 club. They're not a great team but they have talent and they have a really good coaching staff. They are 4-2 after 6 games. I wish the Cards could be but the best we can do is 3-3 and that's with an upset win on the road against the team we all use as a measuring stick. That's going to be a tall order.
They're so "on the cusp of the top 25" that they received NO voted in the last poll. Took a last second td to get to ot with FCS Jville St. Struggled mightily with San Jose St and UK. But yeah they're right there. Do you watch games? They aren't good.
They were good enough to win 4 of 6 games and that includes wins over UofL and UofK. They're better than the Cards and Cats. They proved it the only way it can be proven. They won.
I agree with that. I never said they were world beaters. I just said they have a "good" team which is a kind way to say they're average. I think if they continue to improve and win their next 2 games, they'll be back in the top 25. They play @ Arkansas then host Ole Miss in the next 2. They're capable of winning both.
Nope. And likely to get destroyed in both. They aren't "good." First you said "good" and "on the cusp of being a top 25 club." I showed you that isn't close to being true and now you're saying "good = average." In other words you're back tracking. They aren't good......not even close. Which I tried to tell the moral victory club after we "played them close."
If my opinion disturbs you so much, then just do what I'm getting ready to do to you. Put me on ignore.
Bye.
Auburn's offense looked a lot better against us than they did against you guys. Maybe that's a function of our defense--we certainly sat back more than you did and tried to take away the home run. But their execution was tremendous--seemed like maybe Malzahn simplified it for the RS-Fr White. Maybe 1 or 2 drops and otherwise mistake-free football (on offense). Certainly nothing like Johnson standing back there throwing the ball right at the safety's chest.
They're certainly not "good" by their standards, and they're well underachieving compared to their preseason hype. But I suspect they'll win 6-8 games and go to a bowl, which is something that's still very much in doubt for both UofL and UK. And they'll do it in the toughest division in college football.

Playing a team that doesn't create turnovers in the secondary improves the QB's ability to perform as well. Who knew? I would say uk knows better than most. If you don't believe it - just ask Kyle Bolin.
Actually that's the same thing our defense did against Auburn until late in the game when we needed to bring more pressure to get the ball back quickly.
The Cards' game plan from the start against Auburn was to keep both safeties back to eliminate the big play and it worked outside of one play but the turnovers and the Tigers' run game gashing our 6 and 7 man fronts made us change late.
Well I was trying to imply that at least some of the credit for Johnson's horrible game was due to pressure, which you guys were able to get to a greater degree than we were. In reality, I think White is a better player than Johnson as well, so it's probably a combination.
