Don't be fooled. ...and I'm not saying you are being fooled, but don't rule out the vantage point. As Confucious say: "Crowded elevator always smell different to midget ...and midget sometimes right."

I'm not referring to Weng Weng. He's not a metaphorical midget.

LSU's D-Line


It wasn't your line it was Newton.

Auburn's oline is bigger than Oregon's dline, but that is probably the only place where they have the size advantage. That and Auburn's receivers are bigger than Oregon's corners (but Oregon has the same advantage over Auburn).

Oregon's oline matches Auburn's dline, which isn't that big (Fairley weighs under 300). Oregon's receivers are also much taller than Auburn's corners.

The most glaring advantage for Auburn will be the fact that Oregon has two 260 lb DTs.

Ducks don't stand a chance.. The auburn player bonus's are too much.. 1000$ for td's.. 500$ for sacks.. And that's just what Dye's Paying.. Lowder hasn't flew over yet..

Yes, you are right. It was Cam Newton that was knocking your D-Line on their arse all day long, to clear the way for Cam Newton to run all over the rest of your D. You should replace Verne at CBS.

Even when we got to him he eluded us. Your line didn't keep us away from him....he just escaped us time and time again.

Also, that misdirection option stuff helps. It is very confusing. Turns playing D into a guessing game.

Look....Auburn has a very good oline, and I've already stated the biggest size advantage will be against their smallish DTs.

My point was that Auburn is not a huge team. There is no inherent size advantage beyond those matchups I have talked about.

If you see another one, by all means, bring it up.

FWIW, Oregon will have the second best defensive player on the field in Matthews. Fairley is obviously the best.

You don't need a 275 lb DE freak to stop Cam Newton, you have to wrap him up with your f-ing arms.

185 lb DB's can tackle Newton if they do form tackling.

I'm just saying that DBs take down TEs in college and the NFL on a weekly basis; this is no different

Its a little different. Cam is bigger and faster than most college TEs and a lot of NFL TEs, plus he has moves that a lot of those guys dont happen. Not saying it cant happen or anything, Ive seen it happen a few times this season I can remember off the top of my happen. Its just a lot more difficult tackle to make than your average one, a more reasonable goal for a DB would probably be to just try and hold him up til help gets there

West Vagine also had blazzing speed and we ran them down from sideline to sideline!!! SEC Defensive speed is something no conference will ever understand. Fairley is going to be disruptive the whole game and hopefully they won't be able to pass and expose your weak secondary! And I hope Gus doesn't try and change your Offensive attack!! 50 % of the plays need to have CAM keeping the Ball. He is your main threat, but if they stack the box then do like ya'll did against us and send 3 wide!!

How does Auburn compare size-wise with USC?



Serious question...

I recall thinking how tiny the TCU players looked compared to Wisconsin.....and we all know how that turned out. I don't buy your arguement.
