Unbiased Daily: Auburn was the better team last night

I keep hearing how Kansas State lost the game more than Auburn won, and how K-State gave away all their chances with momentum killing plays like the end zone dropped pass for an INT and 3 missed field goals
While there is truth to that, the better teams make more plays, and Auburn made more plays. There were over 100 plays ran last night, and Auburn made more plays, period. They made defensive stops, shut down the K-State ground game, and converted more scoring chances.
Auburn was the better team last night, accept it and move on

You will get railroaded for this but I actually agree with you. If KSU was the better team they would have put more points on the board.

Auburn is a much better team than KSU, but on the field last night we were barely better. Nice to learn tough lessons and still get the W.

It's possible that KSU "should have won" but that Auburn is still the better team.
I don't think KSU should have won, Auburn missed about as many chances and KSU was fortuitous in some ways (no penalties), but they certainly had shots.
But I do think we're 10-14 points better than them in general, and that margin may grow some if we can use this game as a jumping off point.

Team that made the fewest mistakes won...

Auburn is clearly a better team overall than KSU. They didn't play especially well last night, though. Who's to say that they wouldn't have come alive if KSU had managed to put those FGs on the board (like LSU did against Wisky).
Either way, I wish you guys had lost and had a great time giving you shite last night, but no one really thinks AU is garbage. They are not 12-0 or 11-1 good, though.

Auburn score more points. They were not the better team.

Anybody besides me think Malzahn shoulda kicked a FG at the end of the game? I thought we went into Victory formation too soon.
Cover the freakin spread Gus at least.

If, if, if. Ifs usually mean something didn't happen. Auburn won it, but shouldn't feel great with how they played overall. K State shouldn't take this as a moral victory either. Football is a game of execution and they didn't execute properly when they needed to.

Auburn was the better team because state was awful.
I don't see your point.

Given the way turnovers and field goals shook out, I have to say that game was a helluva lot closer to a solid KSU win than it was a solid Auburn win.
If I was an AP voter I would put Auburn #6 and KSU #17

Sorry but all I saw was KSU shooting themselves in the foot.

KSU was held to 285 total yards last night, their lowest production in three years. KSU sold out to the run last night and AU did not take advantage in the passing game until late. Dropped balls and poor field position killed any momentum on Offense.
Overall: AU is a better overall team than last year, mainly due to the Defense and WRs.

Auburn had a better kicker last night.

A win is a win, but I think Auburn has a long way to go if they are going to meet pre-season expectations.

I thought Gus's biggest mistake was going to the wildcat when they were driving for a touchdown in the fourth. Had they scored, the bite would have been taken out of K State.
