I’m back in the David Housel Press Box at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Kickoff is 30 minutes away. And this one’s going to be a long one. Very long. New Mexico State throws the ball 50 times a game. 50!
That’s like 4 hours of offense.
So, get ready ...
Kodi Burns is in. Happy?
The Jordan-Hare Stadium crowd sure loves it. The student section is chanting “Kodi. Kodi. Kodi.“
Kodi counter:
First play: A 2 yard gain on a QB draw.
Second play: A 6 yard scamper around the right.
Third play: Brandon Cox is in .., and the crowd boos.
Fourth play: Cox handoff to Mario Fannin 27-yard run. First down.
Fifth play: Burns back in ... option pitch right to Ben Tate for 5 yards
Sixth play: Burns keeper off left tackle for 9 yards.
Seventh play: Burns hands to Fannin for 1.
Eighth play: Burns option keep around left end for 2 yards.
Ninth play: Burns under center ... sacked, fumble, MSU recovers.
Cox two series: Two turnovers.
Burns one series: One turnover.
Ummmm ....
Wow!
When do you start thinking about sitting Brandon Cox down?
He’s 2-for-2 to Mississippi State.
OK, that wasn’t the start Auburn wanted. But before you boo the interception and Brandon Cox, watch the replay.
That wasn’t Cox’s fault. Sure Cole Bennett had two defenders around him, but the ball hit Bennett right in the hands. Not good.
Down 10-0? That might be too much for this Auburn offense to overcome.
Here were are again, folks. Ready for Auburn football at Seat 80 in the David Housel Press Box at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
I didn’t think there was going to be a big crowd here today, and 47 minutes before kickoff, it’s not looking to promising inside the stadium. But, on the road, holy cow. I’m never, ever driving in on South College again from Exit 51. Man, it’s nuts. It’s a miracle I didn’t lose my mind. I’m not good in traffic. At all.
But I’m here, and I’m full. Three words: Peanut Butter Pie.
