2016 Game 12 The Alabama Game

Here we go again---another Auburn-Alabama game.  Auburn is a big underdog in Tuscaloosa for a 2:30 kickoff on CBS.  I haven't thought too much about the game this week for I am still getting over that 13 to 7 loss to Georgia.  If we had won that game. . . but we didn't.  Sean White has been injured which hurt us in the Georgia game.  Will he start today or will senior Jeremy Johnson get a shot a redemption?  Can our defense keep us in the game?  Will our offense have any kind of consistency?  How strong will Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson be?  Can we throw the ball at all?  We'll see.

FIRST QUARTER
Auburn 3 Alabama 10
The Tigers score first after a 58 yard punt return by Stephen Roberts but Alabama totally dominates the quarter.  Auburn has yet to make a first down.  Our offense is a no-show.  Jeremy Johnson is our quarterback.

HALF
Auburn 9 Alabama 13
Defense and Daniel Carlson.  Auburn has only one first down but with 2 interceptions by Daniel Thomas and the best placekicker in the country we trail by only 4 at the half.  With any offense at all we would be ahead in this game.

THIRD QUARTER
Auburn 12 Alabama 27
Field goals won't win it.  Defense is doing the best it can.

FINAL SCORE
Auburn 12 Alabama 30
The game goes about as you would expect.  Our offense had no consistency.  You can't  win with 4 field goals.  The defense played well enough to give us a chance if the offense had done anything at all.  Kamryn Pettway played but was not a factor.  Jeremy Johnson was a nonentity.  Franklin came in the second half and completed a long pass to give us a spark but we had to settle for the field goal.
The Tigers finish 8 and 4.  We wait to see what bowl game.  Whatever.
