They have the same or better DLine. Arguably weaker LBs. Much better secondary. They can remove the passing threat and focus on AUs running game.
In addition, FSU statistically has a better QB and RBs than Alabama. Auburn has a very weak secondary that can be exposed.
This will be a tough game for Auburn. If they don't rattle Winston early, the game will get out of hand.
Maybe better corners, but Florida State's safeties are by no means on par with Haha and Collins. In fact, I'd say against defending the run, Alabama's safeties are the best you could possibly see in the college game. Tremendously athletic and sure tacklers.
FSU's "statistically better QB and RB" are not necessarily better than Alabama's players. Winston's a better pro prospect than McCarron, yes, but it's not like McCarron was a chump. And I'd take one Yeldon to take all the carries than all three of the guys taking carries for FSU.
But yes, I agree that Auburn's secondary is the weak point and may change the game. Winston throws down field. Auburn doesn't cover down field.
