No, Mark Ingram's presence had a huge effect on the Auburn game last year even though his stats didn't reflect it. Chizik and Roof gameplanned to do everything they can to stop Ingram and Richardson from going off which opened things up for the passing game. We don't beat Auburn if he wasn't there to keep the Auburn defenders honest. They would have just teed off on McElroy after jumping out to that quick lead.

I agree. AU shut down Ingram, but if we did not have to gameplan around shutting him down, we knock Gmac's head off and Julio never has a chance to win the game for Bama.

I disagree, Auburn scored on 2 trick plays if I remember correctly and they could not score lining up and playing with a regular offense. Why didn't they tee off on him the last drive of the game? Julio couldn't be covered.

no worries we have them at home, Can't wait
