For Auburn to have a shot at winning against FSU, we have to win the battles up front on both sides of the ball. The only real weakness I can find regarding FSU's offense is TFLs and sacks allowed...

FSU Sacks Allowed: 80th -- 2.23 Sacks/Game
FSU TFLs Allowed: 55th -- 5.77 TFL/Game

AU Sacks: 56th -- 2.15 Sacks/Game
AU TFLs: 34th -- 6.54 TFL/Game

Compare that to when Auburn has the ball....

AU Sacks Allowed: 20th -- 1.23 Sacks/Game
AU TFLs Allowed: 17th -- 4.46 TFL/Game

FSU Sacks: 31st -- 2.51 Sacks/Game
FSU TFLs: 24th -- 7.00 TFL/Game


Even with a somewhat weak schedule, FSU's offensive line has given up negative plays, while AU's offensive line has done a good job of negating them. FSU does a little better job of forcing negative plays, but again, they haven't faced the calibre of offenses that Auburn has.

I completely agree.

TFL has been one of the bright spots on our D.
