Good
Before the injury, Freeman was amazing
We basically outplayed #18 Auburn AT their place with 80,000+ fans
Defense.  SEXY!  (Aside from that last drive..Tibs had our corners playing off the short passes by several feet and it bit us in the ass)
Our kickers were much better than expected
Nebraskas and Texas' stadiums will look like &@#%ing pussies compared to Jordan Hare.
'Moral Victory' (we beat the spread?  meh.  i hate moral victories)
Fun to watch
We were on ESPN primetime
Receivers did amazing
Defensive backs were pretty good
We took Auburn's rungame away

Bad
We choked away the lead in the last two minutes AT FRIGGIN AUBURN! 
Freeman got hurt
PENALTIES.  (definitely cost us the game.)  If we don't 'rough the kicker' then Auburn doesn't get to continue the drive that gave them the lead.
Our offensive line(Alesena got rocked time, and time, and time again.  Ouch.)
Did I mention we CHOKED IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES AT #18 AUBURN!? 


The goods outweigh the bad and the game was a lot of fun to watch, but I still really hate losing.  Still, it was far superior to last years opener.

I believe that we outcoached Tubberville - he looked lost at times. I also give part of their win to their DE, that guy is going to be a to 10 pick. I think that we will have similar situations when we go on the road to UT and NU, I have been to both and they are pretty damned loud.
All in all, I was very impressed.

Not positive but I thought the roughing the kicker call was on a drive that ended in a punt. I think they went 3 and out on their next few plays after the penalty.

Field position waks, field position. but yes, you're right it did end in a punt but farther down the field.

Yeah.  I rewatched the game and saw that.  My bad.
