Danny Lewis has to be made of glass.

I’m not sure if we’ve used this formation at all this year, but I’d love to see some sort of modified pro set with Germie, RW, and Horton at WR, and then two RBs in the backfield, split, on either side of Ty while he’s in the gun.
Some combo of Miller/Hill/Dear (since Riley is out) could be interesting in that formation…assuming the OL can hold up.

You want to bring another defender into the box with a paper mache OL and two mediocre backs?
Are you a masochist?
Go back and look at how bad we get stuffed when we even go bunch/trips tight with our WRs who block like they’ve been watching bullfights in Pamplona. It’s like a dark comedy.
We need to be stealing a page from Heupel and running wide splits with 3-4 WRs and Hill single set back with orders that if he takes a stutter step before going downhill he’ll be benched for the rest of the drive.
Auburn made life hell for UGA with Bobo trying to run a 1995 offense between the tackles and UGA is much better at bully ball then we will ever be this year.
Their secondary is 80th-100th nationally against the pass. We should live or die making them do what they’re bad at not what they’re nationally elite at (defending the run in the box).

It would create some incredible mismatches if the RBs release and run routes. That’s why I included the caveat of our OL holding up

We did this against LSU and the result of the play was a strip sack fumble.

I think with a functional OL and a plus level RB group you’d be 100% correct.
I just don’t think we have either haha.

oof. If they have worse passing defense than Wisconsin, this could get ugly fast.

That’s absolutely true but the windows were there, we just didn’t make plays.
The coaches job is to create opportunities for players via scheme and personnel mismatches, but the players have to go out there and execute.
Outside of the first half against OU, which absent turnovers could’ve been a historic day for the offense we’ve had an execution slump down the stretch reminiscent of how we finished out last year which honestly is a bit concerning.

If we execute in the passing game like we did midseason there is a scenario where we win decisively against Auburn (10-14 points) IMO, but we haven’t seen that from the offense consistently in weeks.

I think we’re due a good game from the offense tbh.

I tend to agree.

Incredibly, Auburn's very solid defense is the worst SEC defense we've played this month.

I believe nationally Oklahoma is top 10 and Auburn is 50 for reference. Quite the difference.
