Before facing Kentucky on Saturday, Auburn players look back a Saturday's game vs. Missouri.
After coughing up a 17-6 4th quarter lead, Missouri‘s long march to the end zone was just the latest in the misadventures of an Auburn team who’s promising season gone sour.“It was a long drive. The type of defense that we say we are, we should expect and embrace drives like that. It was, probably, our worst drive of the game,” Thompson said. It just wasn’t our night, you know? We weren’t urgent enough. We’ve got to be more urgent.
“It was just, we busted a lot. It was a lot of busts. Some of that was on me. Them last two plays, that was on me,” Blocton said. It bothered me, too. Like, I beat myself up about it, because I had a chance to make a tackle in the backfield the play before they scored, and I didn’t. And then the play where they scored, I spun out of my gap. And they hit my gap."
Blocton is using the lessons he learned during that drive as fuel for him to keep him motivated during these final five games.
