I’m surprised more aren’t concerned about this game, TAMU has a solid defense that’s keeping them in most their games.

Can't fire a 7-3 coach in the middle of COVID with a $27M buyout. No one would would be worthy of the position would take the job if that's the case.

TA&M only loss was Alabama, I dunno if that's a walk in the park either

Suppose it’s based a lot on who and how we’d lose that 4th game to. We already have 3 really bad losses this year, including 2 blowouts and a loss to USCe who already fired their coach.

Here what will happen. We will play lights out the next two games, everyone will be exited, the Gus Suckers will be licking their lips, people will be taking about how Bo Nix is going to be a heisman Candidate next year, we make it to a decent bowl game....

And lose.

Same song and dance. It’s the Gus way.

Rinse and repeat.

I fully expect to somehow win the next two games. It's the Gus way

While it’s entirely possible we play well enough to win our next two games, I seriously doubt any part of our fanbase will ever be “exited” about AU’s football future with Gustav. I think even his supporters realize he’s past his “sell by” date here.

Hell, I’m starting to think that deep down even Gustav realizes it.

I agree. TAMU is good enough and I am sure Mond will throw better than he did against LSU.

We are not good enough to not bring our A game, even in the last 2 games.

Our offense is off and on again, so who knows.

I will feel better if Tank can run like Tank. We can not win if we put in Bo's hands and throw 40 times. He's just not that type of QB.

Yeah will probably be a low scoring game, with a turnover or FG to decide.

If we lose to State then burn it down.

You say:

"Why would I want to go somewhere where they fire a 7-3 coach during a pandemic"

I say:

"Uh, Auburn just paid Gus 27 million dollars to stop coaching there, I'm quite interested"

Wish I had your optimism.

Jimbo is going to throw on us a lot! After watching Saturday's game, with wide open receivers running all over the field, he'd be stupid not to.

I'm sure Mike Leach was licking his chops too.

A agree. This game will not be easy. I look for them to throw a lot and run the QB

I dunno, they've improved quite a bit since Rogers took over at QB. Still think we're the better team, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.

What is the walking wounded situation headed into Saturday? If they are still absent or sideline candy ....we are in serious trouble Saturday.

I watched the A&M Game and came away with nothing. They were playing in a downpour the majority of the game....you can't judge by that.

We should considering they have only something like 49 scholarship players, but then again, we lost to a terrible TN team two years ago, at home.

I am not certain of anything as long as this staff prowls the sideline. If we do win, it will probably be a shoot out.Leach will throw the kitchen sink at our defense.

I think all of you vastly overestimate our OL play.

We were mediocre before the injuries.

Now we are pathetic.

If we beat #5 aTm, he stays. If we lose close to aTm, he gets to coach for his job against Moo State. If we lose ugly this week, we fire him at 5-4 and play Moo State without him.
