PowerOfDixieland 3,225 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I think you're assessment is dead wrong, I'm an Auburn man through and through. Always believe we will kick the Updyke's asses, no matter what anybody else tells me I should think. Happy Thanksgiving and War Damn Eagle.

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Funny thing is, a lot of Bama fans think they will lose. They are not as cocky as normal it seems. I have no idea what to think. I hate to say it bc I’ve been very Gus neutral, but I heard an analyst indicate Nick Saban is their advantage 🤮 and he feels they will win. We don’t do well with backup QBs either. I dont remember the year but I was in Jordan Hare the year the Arkansas backup came in and looked like a Heisman candidate.

sevenlee36 1,654 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Ya it’s weird. I think if we had an above average oline I’d say bet your children’s children’s future on it. Jk. But I think we have a legit shot with a good oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like they're normal people now. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wde21 344 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I think we win on Saturday! I expect Derrick and Marlon to make their qb very uncomfortable. I am expecting a game similar to 2017. War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82be 14,402 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 After the 1984 IB loss I will never assume Auburn will win based on anything including a sink hole swallowing the campus in T-town. We can certainly win tomorrow with our defense but we have to win this game by scoring at least 3 TDs. Just not overly confident in that tonight.

weagl1 1,781 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I definitely think we win it and I really don’t think it will be that close. If they had Tua I think they would win it easily but when you structure your whole offense around what your QB can do and then have to put a backup in there and completely change what you are doing it usually doesn’t work out very well. Tua is as accurate with fitting the ball in tight widows as I have ever seen. You can’t plug another guy in and hope to do what he can do. I expect them to try to run it and throw short passes to those great receivers they have and hope they can break one. But our D line is as good as there is, the LBs are solid and the secondary is full of good tacklers. On the other hand their D has a lot of injuries and young guys that will be playing. I expect us to be able to run the ball enough to keep the pressure off Bo and if we can minimize the mistakes we can score enough to get the win.

It was 2010 and you are spot on. It was a shootout until we got a timely turnover in the 4th and Cam, McCaleb, Dyer, Adams etc. finished the Hogs off.

Beaker 2,457 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Auburn wins a squeaker because the D finally scores, and plays out of their minds. Bo will do just enough to keep some drives alive and doesn't turn over the ball. I think a RB will have to make a couple of 15-20 yard runs (Boobie or DJ) and Gus will have to rotate backs. My keys to a win: 1. Make bama defend sideline to sideline 2. Less than 2 TOs 3. Open field tackles, only 1 big play from bama 4. 2 or less trick plays because those kill drives, Gus can't help himself 5. Carlson must make one more than 42 yds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the first stringer went down early in the game but not sure what year it was. It does occur to me that Auburn has been Auburn long before anyone ever heard of Gus....losing games we shouldn’t but winning some we should not as well ....those are much more fun.

I hope im eating crow late Saturday evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
