It's an Iron Bowl in Jerden Hayur between a very good Alabama team and an Auburn team that just got skullfricked by New Mexico State. We'll get a 20-14 game where we have to knock down a last second Hail Mary. You know it, I know it, the American people know it.

I think we destroy them. We only seem to get those kinds of voodoo games when they have 8 wins.

2021 Auburn had 6 wins and had a 99.9% chance to win the game in the 4th quarter. Bama broke the curse, but it took a miracle. That said, this defense isn’t the 3rd and Golding defense we’ve seen the past 4 years.

Just for fun, you should run it including the New Mexico state game.

Would like SOG opinion on this but these stats seem to suggest that Auburn’s defense has been living a bit off turnovers, really good red zone defense, and’/or luck. Their yards given up per attempt relative to opp average is significantly higher than their points given up per play relative to opp average.

Is Auburn’s defense living on borrowed time and ripe to get hammered?

I think Auburn will be amped in the beginning. If we start fast, however, their confidence and swag will tank. I think we clobber them

They got hammered last Saturday night.

Seriously though, for what they've got to work with their defensive staff has done a very good job this year. Aside from the Arkansas game, their offense has been putrid against teams with a pulse yet they've only been blown out twice (LSU and New Mexico State ). When you do that over a full season, it's more than living on the edge.

They're not bad, but if Alabama's Tennessee forward offense shows up and Alabama's defense does their normal AU's will eventually break down.

Yes - their red zone defense has been top 10 or so nationally this year I think. They give up a lot of yards and are pretty bad against the run.

Word over on BOL is Payton Thorne was in a boot on Sunday.

If he can't go I expect to see a ton of QB runs by Robby Ashford. They may not even attempt a pass.
