re: 2009, 2010 Iron Bowls: How Big a Factor Was Sloppy Play by the Alabama Defense?

I recognize that Alabama is a great tackling team, therefore, if AU is to score touchdowns some of them will have to be of the big play variety.

It is hard to drive the ball against Alabama. I think we will need 5 big passes(20+ yards), 4 big runs(15+ yards), and some Bama turnovers (+2) for Auburn to pull this upset. Throw in a really good special teams performance and AU can get this done.

I can buy that. There will come a time, soon perhaps, where Auburn will be able to beat Alabama straight up, so there's no room for excuses. That year isn't this year. Good luck in the future. I'm looking forward to a good, defining win.
