++++++++ Official ASU vs The Boogs Game Thread ++++++++

[MomentInTheSun]

I'm sure some people will skip this one and for good reason. Boogs should easily cruise to a victory. But I personally enjoy these blow out games. It's always exciting to me see some of the young guns out there given their chance to play full series. Give me some TD Moultry and Big Cat sacks. Some Daquan Newkirk sightings. Some Smoke Monday and Sherwood roaming the secondary. And we'll get a good look at the future of the LBers as well.

More importantly though, let's hope they get the O Line all figured out. And Malick Willis can throw some bombs to the young WRs.

No idea what the spread is, but I'm guessing Boogs by 50 plus. Boobie Whitlow getting 150 plus and 4 wildcat TDs

Wouldn’t mind seeing Shivers get a few touches, I liked his one touch on Saturday

I imagine both he and Asa will get 5-10 carries a piece.

We’ll see on Asa, supposedly in the doghouse for ball security issues

Huh. Didn’t know that. But I agree about Shivers. Dude laid a lick on the one carry he got. Should of gotten a few more just bc he’s a threat to House it every time

 

[Ser Sweater Vest]

If the whole game isn’t used to work on red zone scoring, it’ll have been for nothing.

Well I’m high on this youngsters talent after learning this nugget.

 

[DufnerFanBoy]

I hope we don’t throw 10 passes in this game. Line that bitch up, tell them we’re going to run the ball, and then run that shit. Over and over and over. I want this OL to find a mean, nasty streak. If it takes abusing a lowly FCS school to do that, then oh well. They’re getting paid to be our scrimmage dummies. Treat them as such. Zone one series, gap the next. Use any and all RBs but keep that starting OL out there the entire game.

 

[ThrustMaxwell]

Work the 1st team offense for 1.5 quarters (90% run), work the 2nd team offense for 2.5 quarters (full offense). I hope to see a lot of youngin's in the secondary after we take the lead. This is nothing but a development game and should be fully treated as such.

So dogfight against inferior opponent in the fourth

I personally hope the back ups get to throw it more than 10 times. Put Willis and Sandberg in and let them air it out

Is there any hope for Gatewood anymore?

 

[cookedw]

Is there any hope for Gatewood anymore?

Yes, IMO, but not until next year. Just don't see us playing 4 QBs in a game, and I think injury put Gatewood behind Sandberg.

[ThrustMaxwell]

Is there any hope for Gatewood anymore?

Anymore? The kid wasn't even good enough to start full time for his HS team. The abuse I took on the boog bored for my opinion of him was one of the things that led me to understand that my insights were wasted on those mouth breathers.

 

[wcw3au1]

I’ll staple a dollar to a couple of tickets for anybody that wants them for Saturday night.

 

[DufnerFanBoy]

John Broussard has left the team. Darn.

I just look at his size and want him to be good. He apparently just doesn’t have the accuracy. Needs to swap to TE if that’s actually the case.

You too could make $7M/year from AU. Apply today!

 

[Space Funk Booty]

No clue where to talk about football in general on here so I'll just go here. LSU just lost a stud in K'Lavon Chaisson for the season with an ACL. Also will be missing offensive lineman Adrian Magee

Bruh been practicing to be a corner for two and a half years, then Noah Iggy jumps his ass in the pecking order on the first fuggin day he switched

Weighing 150 lbs soaking wet probably played a part in that.

 

[L I G E R]

If we don’t develop youngsters and allow the backup QBs to run the full offense, instead of just handing off, then you know Gus is simply hoping this year is a good enough season to appease the fans despite the embarrassments that will be the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Zero long-term vision for the program.

247 and I had him pegged. 3 star player that could excel in a lower division.

Did you see where hunter48 predicted he’s not at AU next year?

If he wants to play QB, then it’d be wise for him to leave Boogtown. For better or worse, it’s the Nix and Sandberg show next season

 

[L I G E R]

Who could’ve possibly seen this coming when we missed on Fields last year?

The 2019 and 2020 seasons are going to be disasters.

You were infatuated with Gatewood when he committed. Just stop

His career at AU isn’t over yet

The QB situation going into next season should be the strongest it’s been in like over a decade. Getting Sandberg was huge. And Willis is already good imo. Throw in a 5 star QB enrolling in January and we’re fine

 

[L I G E R]

That was before I realized he was splitting time at QB with some no-name scrub and was mainly playing other positions.

Things change, Mox.

His career at Auburn has gotten off to exactly the start many here predicted months ago.

Willis doesn’t understand the forward pass and likely won’t get very many meaningful reps to develop that crucial part of the QB position.

Sandberg hasn’t played football in over 4 years.

...Or a true freshman who will have been on campus 9 months.

I’d say we’re in fantastic shape.

You predicted that he’d injur his hand on a jugs machine the week before gameweek?

Wow. Got any stock picks?

He has balled out at all LIVE scrimmages

Having nobody with any true game experience on the roster won’t put us in the strongest position we’ve been in, in decades IMO. Not sure Willis can run this years offense effectively. Time will tell. Hope you and Charlie are correct.

Going into 2019, Willis will be a rising jr with two years experience. Sandberg will have a year of experience too plus a whole off season. Both will have more experience than Stidham had coming into last seat

 

[cookedw]

Did you see where hunter48 predicted he’s not at AU next year?

I didn't. And I respect hunter48, but his predictions over the past 2-3 years of players signing and leaving has been awful. I have gotten to the point that if he or PFD say something about a player committing/signing with AU, I cringe.

If he wants to play QB and can't win the spot, I would not blame him for leaving. If he can't win the QB race, my hope would be he would stay an excel at a different position (TE/WR)

 

[wcw3au1]

Game experience matters to me more than practicing with Gus for two years. Don’t even know what to say about the comparison to Stidham coming in last year other than to say it’s a lot different from Willis and Sandbergs’ situations.

Well both UGA and Bama have gone to the cfb finals with true frosh QBs. We’ll have a rising junior and a 25 year old sophomore. I think it’ll be okay

What the fvck was he doing catching balls off a jugs machine if we plan on developing him into a QB?

Or is this one of those things where he make him spend valuable practice/development time doing things other than becoming a better future QB?

 

[MomentInTheSun]

I also expect Sandberg to play this Saturday. He gets 4 games so this seems like a perfect one for him to get his feet wet a little
