AURex 2,129 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 LSU -- questionable defense, but scores a gazillion points Ole Miss -- questionable defense, but can score lots of points (or not) Miss State -- decent defense, can score lots of points (or not) Bama -- good defense, scoring more points as the season progresses Mutual opponents -- A&M beat Auburn by 17, Bama beat A&M. Can Auburn beat any of these teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,794 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) MSU and Arkansas are my biggest focus at this point. Edited October 8, 2023 by AUwent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford 3,688 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Auburn can beat all of those teams. LSU - Will be tough on the road, but their defense is garbage. And by garbage, I mean 130th ranked EPA. I expect Auburn to keep making adjustments and running the ball more. Auburn will probably score at least 30. If our secondary shows up and maybe gets an INT or two Auburn will beat LSU. Ole Miss- Another not good defense, especially against the pass. We could actually make some plays. Plus, it's at home, the atmosphere is going to be electric. Looking at the schedule this will probably be a night game on ESPN. Arkansas - It's possible they're fighting for a bowl game by the time we come to town. Arkansas only beats Auburn when the Tigers are down bad (except for 2006). Mississippi State - Defense isn't any good. If Auburn can beat LSU and OM or one of them, they should beat MSU IMO Alabama - They're getting better but it's still the Iron Bowl in Auburn. TAMU blew that game today. I think Jimbo punted twice in Bama territory? We'll see what they do against Tennessee. If Alabama doesn't improve in the passing game, they will be vulnerable coming to Auburn. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle 3,935 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 All those teams are beatable but Auburn’s offense is so bad that it’s hard to predict what will happen in any of those games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,608 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Arky could’ve beat OM last night if they could’ve eaten more clock and extended drives. Our offense can do that, especially with our running game and being at home. Same for LSU. Taking one of those two, plus Arky, MSU, and Vandy would be great. Get there and have health at the Iron Bowl and who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get there and have health at the Iron Bowl and who knows. Arkansas is away. Auburn and Arkansas are about even teams. Whoever doesn’t turn the ball over will probably win. Should be win games are Vandy and MSU. Ole Miss will have an edge because I believe their offense can score when they need a drive. Right now, unless AU’s offense can be more productive, Alabama’s defense will keep Auburn from winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,910 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Good news - ALL of our remaining games are winnable. Every team we face has some major flaws. Bad news - ALL of our remaining games are lose-able (NMSU and Vandy may be a bit of a stretch). We also have some major flaws! We’ll see which matchups work in our favor, our team psyche, and how much we continue to grow over the course of the season. Im sticking with my original prediction of 7-5. And other than NMSU and Vandy, I'm not sure where the other 2 wins will come. Probably MSU. The other could be OM, Arky, or bama. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU120289 388 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Anything can happen. Look at GT last night with an assist from CMC. Haven’t had the heart to watch the post game on that one yet. Ouch. I am looking to see the results of the bye week on the field. If an average passing game materializes, we have a shot in every game. If not, maybe 6-6.

Eagle-1 3,821 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 NMSU, Vandy, and MSU we should beat these three. LSU, OM, Arky, and that school up North. Of these four I'm not betting we can beat any of them if we can't get pressure on their QB's. LSU's receivers scare me to death. OM, have to pressure Dart. Arky should be our best chance, but it's at Wal Mart field. Turds will be the most talented defense physically we play all year. Worried we won't be able to block them.

e808 3,028 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Every game is winnable if Auburn passing game has a pulse. To date Auburn hasn’t played a complete game yet. Hopefully Auburn will get guys back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,608 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Big test for Hugh. Took the nations top team to the wire. Can he sustain that momentum and build off it coming off a bye week. Specifically, will our passing game at least show a flicker of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,665 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I still think we lose the next two then win the four after that and bama becomes a toss up…probably lose a tough one. A schedule that should be easy by our standards is getting tougher due to injuries/depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't played Qb this year that's as mobile as Daniel's. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see it. Auburns pass offense is terrible as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are better when on the field more often and in rhythm. If we can run the ball the way we did vs UGA (hopefully even better) and keep them off the field and out of rhythm we will be in the game. If we start having 3 and outs we will be in trouble quickly.

AURex 2,129 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Lots of comments saying "they are beatable." Well, okay, are they "beatable" by Auburn? Folks were saying A&M and UGA were "beatable" too. I suspect that the Pigs and the Cow Bells are our best chance of the coming crop. If we can win one of those two, plus Vandy and NMSU, Auburn will probably go to the magnificent Birmingham Bowl !! Win both Pigs and Bells, maybe even better. Pull off an upset or two against LSU, OM, Bama, maybe a real bowl game! Unlike Gus and Mr. Potato Head, CHF may actually try to win whatever bowl game Auburn gets in order to bolster high school and portal recruiting.
