FSU is the most complete team in cfb. Have you watched any of their games? They aren't weak in any area



Everyone would look complete if the toughest team you played was a Clemson team who lost to South Carolina...

Or was it Duke?

Since when does not playing a good team make you a bad team?

Clemson also beat a Georgia team at full strength Auburn needed a miracle to beat? And Florida State didn't just beat Clemson... they embarrassed them.

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.

Except that hardly anyone ever does.

Auburns second best win is to a team that lost to south carolina. So auburn is better and more tested by simply having beaten bama (which is a huge accomplishment)?

I am hopping on the Gus Bus and begging to think that this was Auburn's year. Auburn just laid an egg at LSU and has gotten better as the year went on. Great job by that staff imo

FSUs defense will not be running a 3 3 and DBs flee or a 3 4 run some more defense against Auburn. And, I want to see the Auburn defense try to stop Jimbo's offense. I think it could turn ugly. FSU has better football players than you think. Of course, then again, I'm just remembering the first 40 minutes in Tiger Stadium this year.

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.
