Bama's rush D is 10th, Mizzou 14th. Mizzou's backs are faster than bama's and never stop attacking. Much like your team they will fight to the end. We cause a lot of turnovers and you guys tend to give up the ball at least once. I wouldn't get too cocky if I was you

I've said in previous threads that the best way to attack Mizzou's D is in a phone booth. Mizzou's D-line relies on quickness and the ability to make plays in the backfield. I think Auburn's offense is the perfect antidote to the troubles Mizzou's D causes. Option running game will slow them down and cause hesitation, and an option-read PA passing game will cause their secondary to hesitate coming up and supporting. We actually saw A&M have really good success simply running the zone-read option run right up the middle against Mizzou. Then, in seemingly typical Sumlin style, they gave up on it. Auburn's offense is that on steroids.
Now, Auburn has to execute. But so far they've shown no problems doing that against anybody. And Malzahn is maybe the best playcaller in the country. I just think he'll have answers to what Mizzou does differently, much like Spurrier did.
If Mizzou does beat Auburn, I think they have as much if not more right to claim they deserve a NC bid as anybody if tOSU loses.
