Haven’t lost to them in Tuscaloosa since the 2010 Cam Newton year.

This Auburn team has a solid defense and good weapons at RB and WR. But they are not a team you can afford to lose to in your house.

Hope DeBoer appreciates how important this game is going into the offseason. With a loss it goes from bad first season, but let’s see how he adjusts going forward, to disastrous first season and his seat being on fire.

Hope he didn’t lose the team last night with probably Bama’s worst performance in decades. Does our team full of out of state players care about the Iron Bowl in a season that is over from a bigger picture perspective? I have some serious doubts Bama will match Auburn’s intensity in this situation. Auburn will be coming in on a mission in this game as they always do.

That 3 man front is going to result in Auburn with 300 rushing yards.

I don’t think it can be stated enough how critical Saturday is for the state of our program. A loss to this Auburn team and program at this point in time changes a lot of dynamics. You better believe Hugh Freeze understands that.

Scared to death to see what kind of mentality and motivation we play with considering there’s nothing on the line anymore. Everything was on the line last night and we played the worst game in decades.

You guys better brace yourselves for disappointment because that defense is gonna eat Milroe alive and bet the house Hugh is implementing Vandy's offensive scheme as we speak.

I hope (but do not believe) that maybe with bigger picture championship pressure now off that this team somehow finds a way to just focus and execute on the play in front of them.

Unfortunately, what I believe is that too many guys will be checked out and going through the motions. 85% intensity in the Iron Bowl will get you embarrassed real quick.

Auburn is good rushing offense which we can't stop and a decent defense which we suck again.

Looks bleak

Why would I think this is a must win game for our program? Is that what you’re asking?

Every game is a must win. Oklahoma was a must win. What does that phrase even mean? It’s meaningless.

It is… 100%… blow this and we lose major recruits, probably RW2 and others to the portal, I’m just not sure Deboer understands this and fear it’s business as usual. Auburn is coming, and there’s not a damn thing we can do about it.

The point is completely lost on you it appears.

Losing to Auburn at home with a better roster takes things to another level of bad. It changes a lot of dynamics and perception about our program and our head coach.

We’re gonna get used and abused by Auburn if what I’ve seen in the first 11 holds

Let them leave. You can't run an organization when held hostage but a bunch of jive arse punks. At some point, this shite has to end.

Bryant-Denny will have “it’s Auburn” to get it loud early but if Auburn comes out hot and goes up early I could see boos raining down.

Expecting a loss if a win happens I'd be shocked. Complete lack of faith in this team, coaches and players.

The effort on that pick six tackle effort by Milroe will be embedded in my mind for a while.

Game has become critical for deboer’s future. Another loss to a less talented team added on to his handling or numerous ‘behind the scenes’ issues will result in low confidence from alot of money supporting Ua athletics. Action against the head coach is unlikely this year, probably even next, but the end result (buyout) will set the program back years (assuming he doesnt grow a sack and make changes in his approach).

Yep

I don't believe Greg Byrne has his feet prompted up on his desk these day.
