It’s been a puzzling week for both head coaches as Ole Miss prepares to play Auburn. Houston Nutt is trying to figure out what happened to his Rebels during their second-half collapse against Arkansas last week. Gene Chizik is trying to figure out why Ole Miss is three games below .500. “It’s the best 2-5 [...]
Offensive line coach Jeff Grimes chooses not to dwell on the past. Especially when that past includes an exceptionally ghastly performance by Auburn’s offensive line against LSU last Saturday. “I’m not looking back at last Saturday,” Grimes said with a wry smile. But, as the saying goes, those who cannot remember the past are condemned [...]
The Auburn soccer team closes out its regular season Friday night at 7 p.m. when it takes on arch-rival alabama in the annual Iron Bowl of Soccer in Tuscaloosa. Having already secured a berth in next week’s SEC Tournament at Orange Beach, Friday’s night match will determine Auburn’s seed. Auburn goes into the match 11-5-2, [...]
Onterio McCalebb: Auburn’s most consistent pass-catching threat. Read that line again. Onterio McCalebb: The Tigers’ No. 1 receiver. Kind of odd for a team with 15 wide receivers listed on its roster. It’s not exactly something the Auburn running back was expecting heading into his junior season. “To tell you the truth, no I wouldn’t [...]
For the fourth week in a row, wide receiver Emory Blake’s status is still up in the air heading into the latter part of a game week. Head coach Gene Chizik said he’s “feeling a little bit better” about Blake playing this week than he did last Wednesday, but it’s still going to be a [...]
From his spot on the sideline, Jeffrey Whitaker makes sure to pay close attention to the action on the field when Auburn is kicking off. The Tiger defensive tackle’s eyes are trained on one player in particular: freshman cornerback Robenson Therezie. “We’re like, ‘Who’s he going to get this time?’” Whitaker said. “Bam! It’s like, [...]
Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn still plans to use freshman Kiehl Frazier as a change-of-pace option at quarterback going forward. He just wants to find a better way to do that without messing up flow of whoever’s behind center. “It keeps the quarterbacks out of his rhythm,” Malzahn said. “I’ve got to do a better [...]
Clint Moseley is beaten and bruised. Auburn’s sophomore quarterback has a weeklong appointment with the trainer’s table and a standing reservation for an ice water bath after taking a series of hard shots in the Tigers’ loss to LSU on Saturday. “It’s been awhile since I’ve been hit like that,” Moseley said. “It’s actually been [...]
There’s really only one conclusion to draw from No. 1 LSU’s 45-10 drubbing of Auburn on Saturday. After stewing over it for a day, revisiting the persistency of the LSU defense hounding quarterback Clint Moseley, rehashing the ways in which the Auburn defense followed up its best outing of the year with a mediocre one, [...]
BATON ROUGE, La. — In order to have a chance to upset the No. 1 team in the nation, mistakes have to be limited, if not erased all together. Especially on defense. For as solid as Auburn’s defense was for the majority of the first half Saturday at Tiger Stadium against top-ranked LSU, four first-half [...]
