Agreed, smart strategy against a stacked front 7 is to get the ball out quick. They're going to make it incredibly difficult to touch Browning because he shouldn't have the ball any longer than 3 seconds. Any sacks are likely to be coverage sacks. I do think we'll make them one dimensional quick though if we stuff the running lanes I think we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is I think they will probably choose to lean a lot more on the pass than the run. Why run into the belly of the beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Monday and a lot of the Freshmen cracking the two deep is surprising but encouraging. Special class of kids. My take on the bold print is that it bodes very well for the long-term future, not necessarily for Saturday. But, regardless, it is a great class.

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Auburn is going to shut down the Huskies. I wouldn't call it a hunch, I'm just trying to look at it objectively. I see an experienced and stout defensive line for Auburn, experienced linebackers, and experienced secondary. The only guy I'm concerned about in the secondary is Noah Iggy, and he might be the best out of all of them. Not worried about Davis or Deen, Daniel Thomas is much better than he ever gets any credit for (he's a terrific open field tackler) and Jeremiah Dinson is solid. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure that if we show a pulse on offense, we'll win this one fairly easily. Browning has been good against PAC 12 defenses, and not so good against OOC opponents. I can see a good game for a bit, but I think we've got too much talent/experience/speed to overpower them. Again, call me crazy, because I know some are completely unsure and have labeled this one as a push, but I see a lot of pluses for AU is this game.

I'm right there with you brotha, I've felt good about this game all off-season. The AU defense will shine, and with a seasoned QB/OC + the weapons they have....AU will out talent and over power the Huskies. I really don't think Peterson will go the trickery route in this game and he won't out scheme us on offense because Gus knows a thing or two about trickeration and he will have Steele on his toes to defend that stuff quick.

Though I largely agree with you, I'm going to play devil's advocate for the other side. We didn't have a fantastic o-line last year and we lost a handful of seniors from that same group. The Huskies are typically known for an aggressive and effective front seven; so our new-ish o-line will be tested pretty early in the year. Outside of that, the statistics aren't in our favor. Gus hasn't been great against ranked opponents in game one and much less so away from home. Their secondary will likely equal our receiver group. Our front seven should dramatically outmatch their OL. Our secondary is about equal to their receivers I would say. It's an insanely good matchup on paper.

Our front seven should dramatically outmatch their OL. Our secondary is about equal to their receivers I would say. It's an insanely good matchup on paper. We've been told over and over that Gus "learns from his mistakes", he's picked up the pace for the opener and has addressed the "negative plays" that have plagued AU in early season games. Grimes back and that will result in better oline execution, those guys will know their job and play with a tougher mentality than in previous seasons. So test them early and often and they will have a bulldog coach on their asses to push them even harder and he won't allow them to "loaf", take a play off, or stare around clueless because of poor ass communication from the sideline. It's time to adjust, evolve, and change these performances in early games - this coaching staff has to know that. This is a prime time opportunity, head-to-head with two top 10 ranked teams. It's now or never, it's time to prove Auburn is a contender and the days of crapping the bed, smearing it into the sheets, rolling around in it, and watching it drip down the sides of the bed are OVER! Win this game and the nation will stand up and take notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the roster shown a travel roster and Devin Barrett is not traveling? ...or is it JUST a 2 deep but there will be more players available? Used to be, teams only took part of their roster to away games. Maybe in today's big $$ environment they're no longer limited? ...still would have expected to see Asa, Devin, Shivers, etc on the roster... EDIT: @Brad_ATX answered my dumb question.

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I fully expect this roster to change over the first few games. It always does. So those guys who didn't make it in the 2-deep will need to continue to work hard and they will get a chance. And Siposs has not ever played in an American football game, especially in the SEC. There is no way I'd throw him out there as a starter. Don't want him totally freaked out! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
