re: Everyone is underestimating this team…

If you go in with low expectations you can't be disappointed.

I think we need bryce to use his feet early and use some screens to keep them from sending the house. If we can get their defense off schedule and in check we might have a good shot. We gotta negate their front and blitz

All day yesterday and today, all I’ve seen is how bad we are going to get our teeth kicked in. I have this feeling we are going to come out and play ball. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the level of shade being thrown at Bama before. I think we take this one.

I remember the last time we were disrespected this much, when we played Miami for the National Championship. I had just graduated from Bama and was wringing my hands listening to the media. I thought for sure we were going to get our butts handed to us. For those old enough to remember what the media was saying you can confirm what I am saying. Well, that turned out to be a 34-13 beat down by Bama!

GA is the media darlings in the nation right now. You wouldn't believe how horrible it is living here in GA! The sports talk guys are predicting a blow out, 41-10.

But ya know, it's ok, let's wait and see what our team does. If I were a betting girl, my monies on Bama.

Like Braves player Joc Pederson said,
We might be those Mother F*ckers! RMFTR

ehh, I think that it will be around mid 3rd quarter before we pull away.

I saw more passion out of the defense Saturday than I’ve seen all season. That is an encouraging thing down the stretch. Anderson, Phil, Young, Mckinstry, Turner… I saw them all make plays and get up and say with belief “I’m the baddest motherfricker out here.” Truth be told I think Auburns mockery kick started that. Kids don’t like being disrespected.

This team might not be “vintage Bama” but they don’t have to be. There’s enough talent on that side of the ball that if they are playing with passion and aggression- something that’s been missing- they will make life hell on any offense.

It’s felt like they were going through the motions a lot this year. Waiting on someone else to make the play, etc. I don’t care about auburns lack of weapons, results and stats don’t tell the whole story. They played with anger and malice, and it’s been sorely missed. Hearing some pundits you would think Georgia is playing Arkansas on Saturday, someone just happy to be there. They’ve got another thing coming if they aren’t mentally prepared for a fist fight


ETA: offensively I think we’re fricked and will have to rely on either short fields or long plays to score points. There isn’t a ton of scheming you can do with a bad offensive line. We aren’t even inconsistent. We’re just below average on the line and they’re really good up front.

What this team could really use would be the non-offensive TDs we've had from teams in the past. We had 15 in 2016.

Even if Bama takes the W, It’s going to be tough to do it twice vs that Georgia team. Nothing is impossible though.

I take it back. I like our odds.
