your offense didn't do anything against Clemson, texas am or LSU. that's kind of my point. when auburn plays bad defense, it scores a lot of points. good d's don't let u run wild. force you to throw and then bad things will happen.

Thank goodness Ole Miss D has been hot garbage this year.

That isn't actually accurate. We had about 400 yards on both atm and LSU. We just had an issue finishing drives.

Our offense is better the less people take snaps. Not just when we embarrass decent teams.

This isn't completely true, we moved the ball well on all 3 teams eventually stalling out in the red zone in each game. The LSU D is by far the best D we have played this year. We moved the ball well on them.

What someone who doesn't keep up with AU football might mistake is that our O early in the season is what our O actually is, etc...We know what it looks like when its clicking and it is just now starting to click.

We also know what a championship team looks like. There is a difference from being good enough to get a shot and bringing home the prize. As an Auburn we know what it means, looks like and feels like to bring home the prize.

Back to the topic at hand. Ole Miss with big WR's and a mobile QB will keep it close. Our best bet will be to control the tempo of the game by running on the statistically worse Power 5 Defense against the run we have played to this point in the season. We might not be able to do that, but any honest assessment would say it is highly likely we will. If CK turns it over it will be a long night for Ole Miss...it isn't crazy to think he might turn it over.
