re: Our chances next Saturday?

I think the is a good chance Alabama beats themselves.

Auburn 30
Alabama 28 with 5 turnovers and 4 missed FGs including a 20 yard chip shot as time expires.

We will play well. Have a chance going to 4th quarter. Need breaks.

This is what my heart says... My brain says we gon get kilt.

We can definitely crank Davis run back on the big screen all game to piss them off - haha

Conventional wisdom is sometimes very wrong.



I will be the lone posibarner.




Me = Dwight Yoakam. Flatter me.

I've let me imagination run away and have been fantasizing that Gus was so pissed about last year's IB that he has been game planning for Alabama this entire year and that is why we've lost several one possession games. You know how people say, you can't look past so and so - Gus has looked past the whole season. The reason we haven't seen much of Jason Smith is because he's secretly been practicing QB all year to run a read option against Bama and it's been the best kept secret in Auburn.

Then I realize I have an overactive imagination and JJ throws a half dozen picks.

I actually don't know what to think about this game. I hope it's like 2013 LSU/2014 LSU and the team comes out and gives Bama hell. The only thing I'm confident in is this won't be close to the 2012 IB. The coaches have kept this team motivated.

It comes down to can we slow down Henry. If our defense holds strong then who knows, a busted play here or there maybe Auburn steals it. But I have yet to see a team beat a Saban defense that has not attacked them veritically. Doesn't always mean you win (see Iron Bowl 2014) but you have to stretch them to win. That 2013 offense at least had the threat to hit them deep. If we can't hit any long shots then we are done on offense.

The ultimate result is a 10-10 tied game where Henry has been useless ending his Heisman campaign & Carlson kicks a 56 yd FG to win

But we probably lose by 20+

It will probably be ugly.

Alabama has the best defense I have seen this year. I just do not know how we can score on them with no real threat in the passing game.

IF and it is a big IF, we can limit Henry, I think our best hope is that Coker turns it over a few times or some punting fumbles...

I think we have a chance. I know people are down on our coaches right now, but they have nothing to lose in this game by throwing every trick in the book.

I still do not think it will be enough. If was doing a percentage I would say 10%. We win one of ten times we play... but that is okay, all we need is that one time.
