It's the weakest part of their D, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's suspect. Your WRs won't have time to get downfield unless your Oline has improved in a hurry. Franks was probably better than Trask at escaping pressure.
One thing though, considering that every amateur seems to think it's a stone cold lock for Auburn, the line moved from -3.0 to -2.5 Auburn. That would mean the big money must be coming in on the Gators.

Not sure what he meant but AU is particularly strong against the run and UF has struggled there...so on paper, it looks like right off the bat, UF is forced to be one dimensional...and that one dimension is going to be dealing with a pass rush like they haven't seen this year. I don't know where this comes from exactly but I heard some version of the following during the State game: "Auburn has more QB pressures/hurries than any team in the country but not a ton of sacks because the teams they have faced have been able to get rid of the ball". Anyone that has watched Auburn knows that's a fierce pass rush...but there is an awful lot of "almost"...which should equate more INT's but Auburn's secondary can't catch a cold.
I would expect AU to indeed make Trask beat them...and I would expect UF to do their best to make Bo Nix beat them. I just think AU is going to have more success stopping the run than UF and think AU wins a close-ish one 24-17...but I wouldn't be shocked at all if UF comes out with the W.
