...how much they sucked.

They didn't suck. Their defense kicked arse. Shut down Ingram. No one else even came close to doing that.

Plus their offense put 20+ on the best defense in the country (IMO).

Very impressed with Auburn and fully expect them to improve every year under Chizik.

When you have 13 days to gameplan to stop one person, it is usually beneficial. Just sayin. They played a great game... but they should have, and didn't have any excuse not to. 13 days to prepare for us while we had 4 days to prepare for them. They did a fantastic job of executing their gameplan.

They look solid but the refs cost us two catches over the middle for first downs and set picks all freaking day long. Also the lack of review (by design or not) cost us another first down on the first drive.

Again, AllBarn did look very solid and congrats on a great Iron Bowl and an better looking future.

Their goal was to shut down the running game. They pretty much did that but there were receivers running wide open all over the field yesterday. I think McElroy could have had a bigger game. Maybe the pressure of playing in the Iron Bowl got to him. You got the W. That's all that matters.

Taking nothing away from Auburn, their D played well, but when an offense is too one dimensional it does make for much simpler preparation on defense.

They still suck. Alabama's offense just made them look good.

Arkansas shut down Ingram... only 50 yards on 17 carries. Didn't matter though.
