Frankly, I'm interested more than concerned. I watched every one of Auburn's SEC games this year. Cam Newton is a beast. There's no getting around that. But his supporting cast is only good, not great. Auburn has no skill position players that would start at Oregon (besides #2 of course) and their special teams are nothing to write home about. Oregon has a HUGE advantage on special teams. I think Oregon will struggle to stop Newton, just like everyone else. But I also think that Auburn defense (the one that gave up 49 points to a completely one-dimensional Arkansas team) is beyond suspect. I saw several teams with vanilla offenses move the ball at will against them. Fairley is a player but he isn't measurably better than Stephen Paea and UO had no problem with him.
I think the bravado of Auburn fans is born out of ignorance. They didn't play a game outside of the deep South this year and simply don't know any better. They don't know how good Pac-10 football is (Stanford would do MAJOR damage if they played in the SEC.). They're about to find out and I can't wait.
Oh dear lord.. This is the most delusional fan base out there..

Our special teams aren't good?
Wes Byrum is as clutch as they come, our kick returns are probably among the best in the country, and we never have to punt the ball.

This site looks like the Oregon version of al.com. If that's the case, that's about the same homer nonsense you would read about Auburn.
I don't know who's gonna win this game, and am not nearly as confident as some media, and some rivals on here. Oregon scares the shite out of me.

I think yall will win. I dont think Oregon can stop Cam but I do think yall give up lots of points because your defense isnt any good. I think it will be a game with both teams scoring in the 40s.

I've been half arse rooting for auburn this whole time however....now i'm all in. frick the ducks.

dude...you should not be worried at all..they can talk all they want about defense blows..yadda yadda..but..did you not hear this arguement all year?? that the next week, said offense was gonna light you up??? and look at the qb play of oregon..if anybody got pressure to darron thomas, he ran around like a chicken with his head cut off..see the california game..and you think cal has the same d-line auburn has??? not so much...and auburn defense is playing wayyyyy better than at the beginning of the season..i have said when i knew this game was going down, that auburn is going to make the ducks their bitches..it will be a field day for fairley and crew..you saw what happened when blanc and goggins where out against bama..fairley had to do everything, and he was gased..but when he has subs, and can get a breather, he is a force..he will spend a whole lotta time in oregons backfield..and i have also said oregon will get a lead..maybe even 2 touchdown lead..but a 2nd or third quarter fumble or pick, is going to change the momentum of the game, and it will be all over but the crying..i am looking forward for cam to have vince young type numbers against oregon..book it dano

They lost me at arkansas having a one-dimensional offense.

What people often overlook about Auburn is how GREAT their offensive line is. Their offensive line have completely dominated some really good defensive lines this year. It's a tremendous unit. I've always said an offense only needed three things to be a really successful unit: A great QB, a tremendous offensive line and a good offensive coach. Just look at the Saints the last couple years, the Patriots when they were winning all those Super Bowls, the Packers in the mid '90s, the Eagles before T.O. with Reid and McNabb, etc... All of those teams never had top running backs or elite #1 WRs but their QB, offensive line and offensive coaching were all tremendous and their offense was very successful. This year's Auburn team has all those things in spades. They have the best QB in the country. Malzahn is an offensive mastermind. Their offensive line is tremendous. Who really cares about their skill position players? That issue has been completely overblown all season long.

You won't see any Auburn fans overlooking the offensive line. That entire unit has been here since 2007, if you count A.J. Green who broke his leg against Clemson.
They were projected to be among the conference's best before the season, and it just so happens they are among the entire nation's best.
