Until they actually come within 3 touchdowns of Alabama in a game, I think there should be a rule disallowing Tennessee fans from piggy-backing upon the success of others.
Alabama is going for what, 6 in a row on Tennessee this year?
LSU fans should also take note, with Bama going for 4 in a row imho. Auburn fans are justified in their shite talking.

People on here have the right to post Auburn dominating Alabama just like they did when Clemson and Ole Miss beat LSU with seconds remaining making it out like both those teams dominated LSU. The true colors come out when those so called dominating teams lay an egg as the season goes on!!!!!

I don't hate him. I just think he sucked at kicking the football and was a weight room warrior.

We need faster linebackers, not stronger ones. These little scat backs are beating our people to the edges.

You get faster in the weight room too. It's called fast twitch muscle fibers. Bama trains with HIT programs just like UF did when Mariotti was there. Or at least they did a few years ago. If they don't anymore, then good-frickin'-luck in the SEC.

I am not putting the blame for that game entirely on Foster. That last red zone trip saw a 4th & 1 from the 13-yard line or some crap like that. Auburn had EVERYONE up on that line expecting us to run for the first down. If we run a QB boot leg pass to OJ Howard instead of doing what we did, Alabama is up 35-21 with less than 5 minutes to play.
Poor offensive play calling and a failure by McCarron to audible at the line.

No this is not the "end" of Saban not will it ever be until he retires. But bama has indeed, despite some of these posts, struggled multiple times vs spread - oklahoma and A&m burned them this year. Overall I think the most import test thing is for Saban to get faster D ends and OLB's like lsu does, instead of the type that are built to stop a Stanford or michie state style offense. That's why manziel ran in circles in the backfield so easily was bc all the linemen were way too slow but vs lsu he couldn't do that. But dashawn hand should certainly help the cause

They're fast but not quick. Our LBs last year, and every year previous, were built to stop more traditional offensive attacks. Starting with the '13 recruiting class, that trend has begun to change. This year we should have LBs and DLs who are quicker to the edge.

If Cade Foster hadn't been herp-derping in that game, Alabama more than likely wins the game by 10-13 points.
Yea and if had hit our wide open touchdown and you would not have gotten a lucky 99 yard TD pass, we would have dominated
Whatever.

This would mean something if you were facing your own defense.
Auburn was ranked in the conference
Scoring Defense - 9th
Rush Defense - 10th
Total Defense - 12th
Pass Defense - 13th
Bama was ranked in the conference
Scoring Defense - 1st
Rush Defense - 1st
Total Defense - 1st
Pass Defense - 2nd
I think what Auburn accomplished against the top ranked conference defense is better than what Alabama accomplished against one of the worst defenses.
Saban better find out the answer quick because in 2015, LSU, Auburn, UT, and TAMU will be LOADED on offense with talent and experience. Each of these has either a dual threat QB, runs the spread, or both.

Lucky? Your DB got shook by arguably the best WR in the SEC. Cooper was wide open. Unlike Nick Marshall, AJ McCarron is actually a QB and not just a third or fourth RB in the backfield.

I missed this. So glad I'm back.

Regardless, you can not have it both ways. If you get to claim missed Field goals, we can count obvious missed TD passes.
But in the end
Marshall at QB > Foster at Place Kicker

LOL he makes just 1 kick out of 3 and we win. He had one job and screwed it up.
LOL, if Auburn just makes an easy tackle on that 99 yard pass, yall still lose. See how easy that is? Nothing in football is automatic.

And Marshall did pretty good against your defense as well.
