re: Alabama & Auburn Fans, Give Me Some Info.

As an AU fan, this season has already been a glaring success, nothing can really upset me at this point. I still want the W though, and will be nervous come game-day.

AU needs a mistake or two early from UA, where Malzahn can take the shots down-field for the big play. The worst thing that can happen is for the crowd to feel AU is out of it early, it could get ugly quickly at that point. Malzahn needs a masterful choreographed first drive for a TD to get the players believing early.

Auburn has enough scoring D IMO to counteract the likely stops by the UA D. If AU can hold UA to field goals/punts on several drives, AU should be fine. Malzahn is good at drawing up the big plays at opportune times.

So the game will come down to AU scoring early, a TO or two by UA, and Marshall being able to hit the big play when Malzahn calls it. I don't see AU grinding it out on the ground the whole game; they will have to hit a few big plays through the air.

Final prediction: 34-31 AU
