Anyway, this game scares me. Ole Miss is in the death throws of the season. The have playmakers on the O side that can make this a shoot out. I'd like to think that Auburn's O will score plenty against OM's D and Auburn's D will get enough stops to win.

Auburn 42 OM 34.

I don't think we can use the arKansas game as a barometer, since it's Auburn/Gus's superbowl and such.


It's not just the AU/Arkansas game. AU has continued to improve in all phases of the game over the course of the season. Also, OM might be without two of its starting o-lineman - a position group they were thin at already.

No doubt, it will be a test for our DBs, but we shouldn't have any problem scoring on them.

There was a fight on their sidelines during the LSU game and the team called a players only meeting earlier this week.

While OM certainly has playmakers in the passing game, they have more against them than they have going for them.

My main concern is that it's exactly the sort of game we historically have blown: everything seemingly in our favor, a wounded and faltering opponent with nothing on the line but pride. TAMU 2014, UGa 2006, Arky 2001, Bama 2001, UGa 1994 (actually a tie, but felt like a loss) are the most glaring examples off the top of my head.
