Gene Chizik's opinion of offense... `We didn't play well at all'

Gene Chizik's hard assessment of Auburn's offense Saturday night didn't change much Sunday.

It wasn't good after Auburn beat Florida Atlantic 30-14, and it stayed that way when during his weekly meeting with the media Sunday.

"I feel like offensively we didn't play well at all," Chizik said.

His analysis hit the quarterback, receivers and line. "Top to bottom, it was a very below average performance."

Chizik's opinion of the defense didn't change, either.

"Defensively, felt like we played better in some areas," he said.

Chizik said he was encouraged with three interceptions, though he said, "we had a chance for two more interceptions that we could have, and should have, had."

Also, he said holding Florida Atlantic to 6-of-14 third down conversions was better.

"I feel like we improved some on third downs. Early, we weren't really effective on third downs. As game went, we were more productive on third downs," Chizik said.

Also: "Tackling was definitely better than it was the week before."
