Sunday Hangover: Auburn


The Tide took out six years of frustration on the Tigers Saturday. I love that it was a shutout, but I honestly wanted Alabama to hang at least forty-something on the Cow College.

The defense played well. Instead of running behind the left side of the line most of the night, the Tide ran right with great success. Glen Coffee was strong once again, and Wilson managed the game well. Darius Hanks, a wideout who received a lot of praise pre-season, has begun to establish himself as a viable option in the passing game alongside Jones (WR), Walker (TE), McCall (TE), Smelley (TE), and Maze (WR). 

Auburn did have a few chances, however. Their best cornerback, Powers, dropped an interception that had the possibility of being a pick-six later in the game. 

But, all in all, it was total domination by the good guys.
