I'd take 31-3 as Hurts derps his way potentially the offensive player of the year as a true fresh.
He also had very similar stats in a 48-0 win over Kent St. Plenty of weapons to pick up the slack.

I'd guess that Auburn has a better defense than Chattanooga or Kent State, though.

Kam Pettway

If Kam Pettway is close to 100 %. I could see him going for 180 and 2 TDs. People just don't understand how good Bubba is.
I honestly don't see it at all. I love watching Pettway run but he's just the type of guy that Bama will normally shut down. I think the only difference it Pettway will probably put a couple linebackers on their butts.
I don't see Pettway breaking 100 yards without a huge 60+ run. I'll be very impressed if he does. If he can get near 4 yards a carry and chew up clock he still gives Auburn a chance to compete.
At the end of the day, I think injuries are going to do Auburn in as the depth just isn't there. I would have liked to see a full strength game as the Arkansas game was one of the most impressive by any team this year.

Forget Pettaway for a second, will Jalen Hurts derp his way through a game like he did against an FCS school last week? Auburn has a very good defense, on par with LSU's I'd say. And I fully expect Bama to start slow with the SEC West wrapped up and Auburn has nothing to lose.
I do think the game plan against Chattanooga was very vanilla to let him work on things. They knew they could run up the middle when they wanted. With balanced play calling Hurts is dangerous. He's not going to sit in the pocket and beat you with his arm all day.
I think he'll have a good day but probably turn the ball over at least once. He's a big play waiting to happen but also a turnover waiting to happen.
I think it will be the Bama front 7 doing the heavy lifting regardless. Auburn needs to avoid turnovers and run the ball at least effectively to have a shot. Chattanooga was outmanned but did some really clever things on some of there quick hitting screens to slow the pass rush down. It will be interesting to see if Auburn does a bit of that.
I'll honestly be surprised if Auburn wins but they've impressed me a lot this year.

We don't regularly stack the box, so I don't see that changing Saturday either.

What's the difference between the defenses in 2013 and now?
Auburn's defense is light years ahead of what it was in 2013.

Sure if 37 attempts for 91 yards at 2.5 a carry is success. Every team in America is successful.
