This is probably the most pathetic postgame I've ever listened to from him. The excuse making about a game against Mercer is pathetic.
OT: Finally listened to Gus' postgame press.

Flead from elsewhere:
-- "Got the victory today. Obviously it was a little sloppy. What stands out to me is the five turnovers."
-- "If you take the turnovers away, I think we could've played really good and put the game away early."
-- "Good report" on Darius James, who is back with the team. Malzahn said it was a neck injury, which was "really scary."
-- On fumble: "That was an issue. That's uncharacteristic. It kind of snowballed on us."
-- "We got to run the football better."
-- Said Stidham "was about as efficient as it gets."
-- Malzahn defends using only Kamryn Pettway out of the backfield in the rushing game. Said game dictated it.
-- Mentions Auburn's depth on the offensive line when moving Austin Golson to right tackle after Darius James' injury.
-- On making a change on OL this week: "We let it play out in practice, and that was the lineup the coaches felt would give us the best chance to be successful."
-- "I feel like we moved the football and did some good things.... The underlying thing that's really carrying with me is the five turnovers." Said it's on him to solve that.
-- On Pettway in the Wildcat: "Just a new little wrinkle that Chip's done in the past."
-- Kicking game was good. Said Carlson's miss was uncharacteristic. Needs better production from Ian Shannon at punter.

Also, the explanation about the retired old clipboard is an interesting view of the mental gymnastics Gus goes through to defend himself from his own lies.
How about that new wrinkle with Pettway at Wildcat? Really overextended themselves there
Get 800k a year to suggest someone else could run the wildcat besides kj. Brilliant
It finally hit me late last night. Why run KP every down? Gotta have that 1k rusher even if it kills the kid.
I can't listen to it without fear of KMS, but I read the synopsis again. He's still a FOS idiot.
This part may drive me more insane than anything else with Gus. His refusal to rotate backs is beyond crazy. The defense doesn't even have to see our curveball. We just keep throwing the same pitch to you regardless of the results.
If you saw Barret out there right now, wouldn't you try to blow up the ensuing screen?
This is probably so true. He's probably desperate to keep that streak going.
I'll not watch. It hurts to look at this dude. It hurts to just even skim his comments.
MERCER dictated the gameplan, brAU. That's all you need to know. What'd you shoot yesterday?
80. Rustles me to not break 80 but it was a tough course and I had a quad bogie. Played ok but game has not been up to my standards this summer. Hopefully a lot of time on the links this fall can get me back on track.
I'd sure as hell knownit wasn't a run play
I haven't watched a Malzahn press conference in over 2 years because I know how uncomfortable it will make me.
I'm looking for that moment of complete mental breakdown. It's coming, I promise.
There's no hope for him. He's buried himself in his own poo and refuses to come out.
