Jordan-Hare is a very difficult place to play at night. Not even the same feel at 2:30. I can so see them winning.


I hope so. I do think it will be a tougher and more competitive game than people think.

Texas A&M owns Jordan-Hare. Perfect record there. We legitimately score 52 points on average every time we have walked in there. So I wouldn't really know
Meh. Butt fumbled the last game away, but yeah 2012 was pretty bad. However we did beat your arse last year and made you like it

Likewise, AU is undefeated is College Station so what's your point? We lost to Johnny Cocaine-addict Football, and you lost to Jeremy Johnson.

Totally agree. Great defense... that's what will keep them in the game. Auburn wins a close one 22-15

I hope Clemson wins by 50 points. I hate the concept of SEC pride.

You thumped the worst statistical team in Auburn history in 2012, congrats. Yes 2014 you got us because we played piss poor, congrats. We've beaten you twice at College Station while you were ranked.

Their best chance is a severe injury to Watson.

Aside from that, they're going to have a hard time scoring enough points to keep up. I like Auburn to keep it a bit closer than expected early, but for Clemson to just pull away late.

34-24 to the visiting Tigers.

Why is nobody considering that they'll be rusty? Most...not all but most teams on offense are very rusty first game of the year. I'm glad we play Clemson the first game of the year instead of the last.

Wouldn't the same apply to Auburn, and why would Clemson be rusty? Same RB, same QB, same WRs, same TE, same OL, same HC, same OC. I'd think it would be more of a problem for Auburn since they have nobody of note starting for them on offense.

They are playing against a Kevin Steele defense as well. Kevin Steele is very incompetent. I can't remember the last time LSU gave up more than 15 passing TDs. Just using the past decade for example, in LSU's worst defensive year before last year, we gave up 15 passing TDs in 13 games. In 12 games last year, we gave up 22! LSU, a school known for secondary play, gave up 22 passing TDs in 12 games.

So you are admitting that lsu is not DBU?

Interesting

If Watson from the NC game shows up they will beat us by 10+. Hell they might beat anyone if that Watson shows up this year. If the Watson from some of the other games shows up, we have a chance. I think we need 3 plays of 50+ yards (can be returns) and we need to dominate special teams since we have a huge advantage on paper there. Lastly try to slow Gall an. If they get both ground and air going it'll be a real tall task.

If we can hit those big plays, dominate special teams and slow the run game, we can win provided Watson doesn't play perfect (which he is capable of doing)

If they find a QB to make the Gus bus go they have the talent to beat Clemson.

they win the coin toss. after that the only chance they have is if the QB gets sick or does not get on the team bus
