What you are saying is innacurate Also the primary reason we lost to LSU, MSU and Tennessee. For the unit that was supposed to be the strength of the team, with all that experience and highly regarded players, they under-performed except for the Washington game.They certainly have the potential to keep Purdue's scoring down but I don't see why they'd suddenly start playing up to their potential.

aubaseball 2,540 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I would say the offense won the Washington game. If the Huskies hadn’t have committed some costly penalties, they would have scored more points. Had a touchdown taken away on an illegal pick play.

Yep, same excuse Auburn used last year. It’s amazing how 2 and 3 star players can embarrass 4 and 5 star players when the former players are well coached and enthusiastic to be playing. I guess we all can accept this type of performance from now on. It will be interesting to see what type of team shows up for Purdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,841 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I agree with @Mikey Our defense underperformed the majority of the season. The UT game reminded me of the Fred Talley game from ‘02. Some player no one has ever heard of has a Heisman worthy game, never to be heard from again. Our defense got owned in that game! MSU game too! Nicky Fitz torched our D on the ground. It was embarrassing! Our offense was much more disappointing, but don’t forget our D didn’t come anywhere close to living up to their hype either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty 520 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Stidham overthrows Slayton on two bombs. The third Slayton drops. Rondall Moore makes 12 catches for 158 yards and 2 TDs. Purdue 31 Auburn 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 5,915 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 AU's defense will have to step up, find their backbone and play hard vs Purdue. If they take off plays, or refuse to fight back (i.e. MSU game) we're in trouble. Hopefully the upperclassmen are jacked up and ready to knock heads for the O&B one last time.

I think that since Auburn is from "the big, bad SEC" then Purdue plays their best game....think tOSU game. Auburn will have trouble answering but will make a game of it. PU - 31 AU - 24 I tend to agree. The HUNH will not matter w a pedestrian QB like Stidham. I hope he doesn't play the entire game and Gus at least let's Willis, Gatewood and Sandburg get meaningful playing time with play calls that are not turn around hand offs. But, then again it is Malzahn the not as good college offensive mind as small highschools in Arky. He better go all out. I would respect that much more than just trying to win a mid-tier bowl game. We all basically know he has 19 to turn this around and at least appear as a prepared game time team and one that utilizes the talent that comes to AU! With that said, I am going out on a twig and saying: Auburn- 33 Purdue- 23 War Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only looks pedestrian when he’s throwing screens and running for his life. He’s a real QB and we wasted him. Much like SW, we tried to coerce square pegs down round holes.

I just know Purdue will come out even more motivated. I liked watching that Ohio State game. I’m not sure I want to see them do the same thing to Auburn.

The first sentence should have read “same excuse Auburn Fans used last year”, as AU never offered an excuse for their lack of enthusiasm. So, no dissing AU, just the “bowl games are not important” crowd for going into bowls as if they don’t matter with builtin excuses. It’s alway nice to see two teams that are happy and enthused to be playing in a bowl. I hope we see that in the Music City Bowl. I know Purdue will be and according to Gus, we will be ready too.

I feel like this game is different than previous bowl games. It may be due to this is a weird must win for Auburn. A loss will send this team into an offseason of turmoil while a win will spark hope especially if the offense looks good. Last year was a perfect storm of disappointment going into the bowl. I don’t think the Bama game this year is still hanging over any of the players head like UGA last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,841 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We’re a 3.5 point favorite at the moment. The ESPN predictor has us at a 59% chance of winning. But almost all of the talking heads are predicting Purdue “in an upset”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
