KnightTiger 205 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 first things first get past Samford this week with no injuries......but looking ahead to the Iron Bowl this will probably be another game where we see a lot of missed calls considering bama is still in contention for the CFP! I think Alabama is gonna most likely try to test our secondary with some deep balls early on to try to boost jones confidence and open up their run game! bamas offenses is a little similar to LSU's I think if we go with the 3-1-7 scheme we should be able to give them fits! on our offensive side of the football I look for Alabama to try to take away our run game early as well and force bo to do something in the passing game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,983 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Not very good. They still have a lot of talent around their young QB. Wouldn’t be the first time they overcame QB woes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The SEC will make sure it stays close either way. But I don’t see the SEC allowing uat to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingCarpet 1,379 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I expect it to look nearly identical to the Florida, LSU, and UGA games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucom96 1,618 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I think it will be a close game for a while. I expect Saban to try and break his receivers on short passes and let them make big plays. bama will be bringing heavy pressure on Nix and I expect us to struggle to establish a run as we have all season. In the end, I think the defense wears out and the offense won't be able to score enough to offset it. Familiar scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beenjammin 87 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 CBS (2:30)+BAMA+Sabin = trouble for AU. I agree will look like UFL, LSU, and UGA except they have an outstanding coach while we have home field. If we play out of the gate like we did with UGA in the fourth then I like our chances. If not, then I dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't. I believe they'll run early and often and do alot of short passes to get their WRs in space to make plays. About like they have all year. On defense I think they'll try to set the edge and bring pressure up the middle at our weakest part of the OL. I don't have a good feeling about this game. Home or not, I'm just not confident in our playcalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURealist 2,185 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Gus seems to live under a lucky star, so no matter how well or poorly Bo plays, no matter how pee wee are the plays called or how awkwardly they're executed, I'm thinking a fluke play anomaly never before seen gives us the win. The upside is a win for the good guys and a long squirt in saban's playoff cornflakes. The downside is yet another year of Gomer Malzahn as HC.

NoALtiger 3,862 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I think our D stuffs them big time, DJ has a monster game, and Bo does just enough to give AU the win. No miracle needed this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,125 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Can't win if you don't score points. Just that simple. Gonna need more than 14, that's for certain., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevenlee36 1,654 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I’d really like our chances if we could run the ball better. But I think we’d be undefeated if we could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerEyez13 46 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Their #22 is a freaking locomotive. If we can contain that guy, our chances are better than 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Unlike the LSU game, where the refs waited until the 2nd quarter to turn a blind eye to holding penalties, they will ignore bamr holding from the opening snap. The television/NCAA/ SEC complex will do all it can to have a 2 SEC teams in the CFP, particularly if one of the two is bamr. Well, what about Oregon jumping bamr as PAC 12 champs. The counter to that argument will be bamr beat the team that beat Oregon, and did so at their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixtosanders94 2,180 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 We can score on bama. Their defense isn’t great. I just don’t know if we can score enough not to wear our defense out...again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluvah 665 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think we beat them handily. Unfortunately, that makes Gustav look competent. I’ve never pulled against Auburn, but if it helps get rid of the buffoon quicker.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully to Beasley 643 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think we have a 50/50 chance. If the offense moves the ball consistently we win by 2 scores. If not, we may lose a close one (like UF, LSU, UGA). I hope Gus has felt the intense heat this week after that pathetic offensive plan he had against jawja, although I have my doubts.

Zeek 16,650 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I like our chances as much as I like the chances of Gus waiving his buyout fee and paying back the university his salary as an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuMarine 1,372 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think our chances are slim to none. Do not see our offense putting up enough points to win. Also, with Gus on the hot seat in this game anything can happen.... but if it is business as usual for Gus I can see the offense not scoring... unfortunately it doesn’t take a great defense to stop our offense.

gr82be 14,425 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think we have a chance to win but when you have to play a near perfect game on offense it's hard because Gus isn't the master game planner. Carlson needs to good game for sure. Avoiding penalties against Bama will be a challenge as always thanks to what appears to be an uneven playing field with Refs. Having less faith in Gus every game that goes by is tough to swallow. I'm never going to pull against Auburn for any reason and I hope we win by double digits but if we do happen to lose then I hate to say it but I'd just as soon it be a big loss and not a squeaker. Decisions have to be made at some point and I personally like to rip Band-Aids off when the need to come off instead of a slow pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
