wde21 344 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Not going to concede until the clock strikes zero- hoping for something similar to the Tre Smith game- I went to that game and no one was predicting an AU victory until Tre ran wild-still remember their players complaining after the game that he was so small they couldn’t see him behind the line😂 hoping for Bo’s best game yet!!

It'll be the defense getting eviscerated by a ridiculous offense and having no run game to balance out the passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFriction 1,179 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 So many people here are upset about the offense. I’m more worried about the defense. Bama’s D hasn’t looked good this year, and I think the offense has looked progressively better. I see us scoring a decent amount against them. The issue is that our defense has looked bipolar this year. We will occasionally make a big play at a key time, and we’ve caused (it feels like) more turnovers this year. But we also can’t seem to get teams off the field, allowing them to score at the end of long drives. Our offense has looked more lethargic in that stat board at times than it really was because we’ve allowed teams to sustain long drives against us and ended up with limited possessions. (For example, we only punted 2 times last week, and one was when we were trying to kill the clock at the end of the first half.Yet our offensive yardage was pretty low.) Where Bama has an advantage is not as much in stopping our offense as much as it is in scoring on our defense. Still, I’ll never pick the Turds against us. I’m going to believe that Steele finds a way to slow them down just enough. A special teams play is a factor in the game. Buddy the Elf/The Good Guys- 34 The Angry Elf/The Bad Guys-28 Yes. The score was not a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If it's played straight up without weird officiating or turnovers and everybody's starters are close to 100% throughout the game, 42-30 Bama. If we play like we can and Harris has an off day (or Steele has a special packagr deal for him😁) its a toss up in the 28-27 neighborhood. If we play like we can AND have a +3 or more in turnovers, we win by 10 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our O line is not very good and we have a very inconsistent QB. Tank being less than 110% spells doom in the running game as it has been him, NOT the line doing everything. Plus, we just don’t have the total team to beat them in BDS. This is not pessimism, just reality and trust me, I would love nothing more than to look foolish come Saturday evening, but I see it: AL- 53- AU- 22.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 We didn't put 40 on Alabama last year. We put 48 on them in 2019. 48-45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ain't even a decent defense. 63-6, in favor of the inbreds. This ain’t the Bama defense of old..I can see Auburn getting more than 6. If Auburn can keep it turnover free, talking to you Bo ..then I can see it being closer than the experts think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,579 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 It’s been hard for us to defend against a team with a good running game or a good passing game, bama has both. We’ve struggled to score points against some of the worst defenses in the conference. bama has one of the better ones in the SEC. The last 13 seasons, bama has lost a total of 4 games at home. Three of their four home losses in the last 13 seasons: 2010: Auburn with a Heisman trophy winner and national championship 2012: Texas A&M with a Heisman trophy winner 2019: LSU with a Heisman trophy winner and national championship It takes a pretty doggone good team to beat them, especially at home. I’ll be as happy as anyone if we pull out the win, but this one could get ugly. Good Guys: 20 turds: 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant I know but what the heck, Turds win Saturday by (37). Perhaps more relevant: AU currently has three players on the team with a composite recruiting ranking of 0.97 or higher, one of those being Pappoe who, IMHO, is getting pushed all over the field by OL in his current role. UA has twenty two players on the team with a composite recruiting ranking of 0.97 or higher. I love our team, but we are not bringing the same calibre athletes to the game that UA is bringing.

Alabama had better talent in 10 and 17. The difference in those teams and this one is pretty evident. This OL is not great and not only that, it’s pretty banged up. The defense this year is nowhere near 17 imo. The 10 defense wasn’t legendary but had a very physical DL along with Nick Fairley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an AU fan, I say the Tigers pull out all the stops, lay it all on the line and either win or make bama sweat to the very end. War Eagle!
