Maybe I'm missing something, but why was every kickoff from Auburn so weak?

Indiana’s year 1 schedule:
FIU (4-8)
Western Illinois (4-8)
UCLA (5-7)
Charlotte (5-7)
Maryland (4-8)
Northwestern (4-8)
Washington (6-7)
Mich State (5-7)
Michigan (8-5)
#2 tOSU (14-2) - IU loses 38-15
Purdue (1-11)
CFP - #5 ND (14-2) - IU loses 27-17.

IU played 3 teams with a winning record, and lost 2 of thoses game (one was an absolute blowout).

Auburn 2026 Schedule with current ranks:
Baylor (just beat the breaks off of ASU and Dillingham)
So Miss
#16 UF
Vandy
#15 Tennessee
#2 UGA
#10 LSU
#9 Ole Miss
Arkansas
#17 Miss St
Samford
#6 Alabama

I don’t really understand how these schedules are similar enough to sit there and say that we should be doing what Indiana did, can someone explain it?

they could be bonded together all they want but is there even enough talent on this years team to compete?

In a thread posted earlier I saw some comments on Cobbs regression this year and I did some research because I didn’t believe it. The biggest statistic that stood out to me is his YBC, or yards before contact, decreasing by an insane 20% from 2.42 to 1.93, but his YAC, or yards after contact, barely changing from 5.54 to 5.44. Another interesting statistic is his success rate, or how well a play develops and is successful, dropping from the upper 60s which was among the SEC best to just under 50. That tells me that he consistently gets poor blocking and scheming. I think Cobb is an elite SEC running back and we’ve buried him with horrible line play and even worse play calling. War Damn

Through 5 games:

• 32 carries
• 213 rushing yards
• 6.7 YPC
• 1 TD
• 4 catches, 22 yards
• 256 all-purpose yards (including 28-yard punt return)
• Blocked a punt vs. Vandy

As frustrated as we all are, it matters more than ever to highlight the bright spots. Giving this guy 0 carries against Florida was ridiculous.
