He will not "try"...it will just happen. Like the sun rising in the East. The gumps are going in cactus dry in two weeks.

No, Saban could have hung 80 on them in 2012 and didn't. That's not his thing.

That isn't hyperbole. We literally could have scored 80 points. We got to 49 and bleed the clock.

Saban doesn't run up scores on anybody. He finds it disrespectful to the profession, no matter how much he might personally despise somebody or some program.

oes Nick curb stomp Auburn if given the chance or we see the backups in by the 4th and the dogs are called off?



The way our defense has improved, Bama's offense won't be able to hang 60 on Auburn.


The way our offense has played, ya'll may have 9 pick 6's and get to 70+.

Hard to tell

Even as a Bama fan, that game was painful to watch.
Now after all the "kick six" BS and yada, yada, yada, over and over and over, maybe I would like to see another curb stomping.

I will settle for a W and no injuries. You never know in this game.

Here is hoping for no "supernatural occurrences!"

I had a pretty good time watching it, though it did feel empty when we stopped at 49. Was very much hoping for at least 60.

Bama scored a TD the first 7 times they had the ball.
They could have scored in the 80s.

I was kinda hoping for one more TD in 2012...One more TD and and the score would have been 56....breaking the record for the largest margin of victory in the Iron Bowl since Bama beat Auburn 55-0 in 1948. The same year the series was renewed after a 41 year hiatus.

this is a great prop bet: does Alabama score more points off turnovers or pure offensive drives?

Eight minute scoring drives aren't conducive to 60 point outputs.

No - Saban doesn't run up the score. He's smart enough to know that running up the score makes lifelong enemies. Look at how much fun people have putting it on Nebraska now. After decades on them running the score up on everyone, they're taking their lumps and its funny.

If he did it would be a sign of his concern about Gus. He called the dogs off early in 2011 and 2012 in an attempt to save CGC's job.

I doubt they'll get 60 we aren't at bama's level but our D is improving. Assuming the O doesn't hang the D out to dry.

Auburn is not that bad. Expect it to be a 7-10 point game till the 4th quarter and alabama to pull away and win by 3 scores.

Saban would kneel the ball the entire 4th quarter before he runs the score up on Auburn. Alabama was up 42-0 at halftime in 2012 and basically sat on the ball the rest of the game.

Nope. Saban isn't worried about proving a point to Gus. If and when the game is clearly not in doubt, Saban will rest the starters and turn to the SECCG.

Plus, Alabama doesn't really run the kind of offense that puts up 60 points on anyone, much less an SEC team with a half-way decent defense like Auburn has. Alabama won't even be close to 60.

This is one game in which I will hope for Kiffin to disobey orders and call homerun shots down field all game.
