re: If Auburn beats K State, it won't be because K State wasn't prepared

I'm nervous for this one too. That's what makes college football exciting though. Playing teams you don't normally play, on the road, and on a big stage. I'm ready for Thursday to get here.

Unfortunately, the secret will be out after Thursday. People that were hyping UGA will realize that Auburn is everything they thought UGA was after the first week.

'Pass caught by Jordy Nelson' is still a memory. Seemed to hear that a lot the night Josh Freeman and KSU came to town.

AU is gonna beat them until they are just the Cats.

We got to get over this.
90% of the team played in teh Rose Bowl and played at Kyle Field...which is double the size of BSFS.

Auburn wins this game easily. I would be surprised if KSU stayed within 3 TDs of them, to be honest. It took a 12 point 4th quarter to come from behind to beat Iowa State. If they struggle like that with Iowa State, then they can't hang with AU.
Auburn 45
KSU 17
Auburn 45
KSU 17

What Snyder has done at K State is impressive. No, if, ands, or buts, about it. It was a long, slow, and painstaking process to build that program up. And he did it twice.
That having been said... no one in the Big 12 runs a spread attack quite like the one Auburn features and I just don't think that K State is built to defeat it. Its not just a question of speed, K State does fairly well handling speed, its speed plus power.
LSU's blueprint for beating the spread starts well before their players line up for their first practice and is based around who they recruit to plug into their defense. The X's and O's of the Spread-killer defense work because of the players LSU has to run it.
KSU doesn't have the horses to run this race I think, not unless Auburn falls apart. Say Nick Marshall trips over an unseen, imaginary, dead turtle and sprains his pinky toe. Well, I can tell you from first hand experience Auburn is plenty dangerous without him.
Auburn pulls away in the home stretch of this one for a comfortable victory. Barring, of course, the sort of team collapse that would make Malzahn look like he was having a stroke on the sideline.

AUB will win comfortably, but I know KSU will play hard. Always have respect for what Bill Snyder has done there.

When did we start running the spread?

It's amazing. He is the sole reason that they are even on the radar nationally. They were one of the worst teams in the country, and had been for a long time, before he got there the first time and he turned them into a consistent top 25 program.
I think we win, but they'll certainly be prepared and I think we probably pull away in the second half.

You do realize AU is only the 2nd OOC top 25 opponent KSU has played at home under Snyder, right?
He's been impressive, but primarily - almost exclusively, in fact - against Big 12.

We have not even been running all that fast either.
71 plays per game.

The fastest team right now is Tenn. They are running 79.67 plays per game.

Do you know why the spread is called the spread? obviously not

I think this pretty much encapsulates what Snyder has been able to do as a coach.
@dennisdoddcbs: Half of the K-State roster vs. Auburn -- 58 players -- will be former or current walk-ons. Fifty-freaking-eight.

He constantly manages to turn a bunch of low-recruited players and juco transfers into a very competitive team. He is a very impressive coach. Especially considering it's a terrible school in the middle of nowhere in a shite state.

Exactly. This is why all of the blowout predictions are silly.
