so who do you have in the title?

[UNA Lion]

Early in the year, yes. As the defense started to gel, this became less of a problem.

This.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

According to the NCAA people I know and ESPN, it is SEC vs SEC again.

This time it is Alabama and Alabama.

Going to see how low the ratings can go.

 

[dirtboy068]

Yeah, at times. Not bad enough for Marshall to beat them though, imo.

marshall and the running back is a good one two punch

Meh. He's gonna have to do more than run it.

Auburn is one dimensional. Bama defends the run very well, which will force Auburn to try to go to the air. This will create opportunities for Bama defenders to get the ball. Marshall is only about 58% accurate and has only thrown for about 1400 yards this year, very little yardage plus lack of attempts, big game hype and Bama in his earhole spells disaster.

lets not forget and mason is leading the SEC in rushing and marshall can get it done with his legs as well

Sure they are, but they have not faced a top 5 defense this year. Bama is number three against the run and number 5 overall. And their pass defense is number 9 in the nation by the way.

Couple that with Auburns 70th ranked defense and Bama should be able to take this game. Wont be easy because its Alabama/Auburn and its in their house, but in AJ we trust and its just another big Game for Alabama, its the biggest game of the season for Auburn.

Nope. #2 won't make NCG. When the team that loses the NCG loses, they drop in ranking.

Ok, ya got me. WUT?

Ok, lets assume that they have four to five players who can run the ball, so did LSU along with a hotshot QB and multiple receivers. So does A&M with one of the best QB's in the NCAA and frisbee catching dogs at receiver spots. Its not the first time we have faced runners of this type or teams with good running games. But, they only have a running game, not a passing game, which lets Bama load the box and play man defense on the corners.

One dimensional teams are not as hard to defend as ones with many options to score.

total offense in the SEC

Auburn #2 bama #8



that cant be over looked.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

total offense in the SEC total D

Auburn #2 Auburn #3

Bama # 8 Bama #9

that cant be over looked.

I dont know where you get your stats from, but Bama's offense is one of the tops in the country at number 5 and they are the 3rd ranked defense against the run at 91 yards per game.

We have faced better offenses in A&M, Ole Miss and LSU as far as being able to score with more than running the ball.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

I wont even make a prediction right now on the second team, but it is gonna be Bama vs somebody more than likely. Id like to play a full powered FSU team with no scandal hanging over them, but until the SA makes a decision down there it is all up in the air. If not FSU, Id probably have to go with Baylor if they win out and tOSU if they dont.

I didn't realize auburns D was that bad.

you are right . that stuff in not correct. NOT THIS YEARS.

Sure it can when you look at Auburns defense versus our offense. They are in the lower half of the NCAA in defensive stats.

I love these type of comments just hope their team is thinking the same way.

I'm sure they are.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

I love these type of comments just hope their team is thinking the same way.

Have you not heard of Saban? do you think he will, for one second, take Auburn lightly? God i love people who get butthurt over truthful comments.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

I better add so far tonight Baylor doesnt look better than tOSU.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Nobody is butthurt I just hope the players are overlooking Auburn like Gurly did.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

Hope on if you must, but you know Saban and company will have Bama at a fever pitch and as ready for Auburn as any game they have played all season. Hope is good, it gives you something to hold on to and us something to stomp on and bust wide open.
