Meh... au was overrated. This is still the same team that lost to Troy. At home. After being embarrassed by State. This shouldn’t be a close game.

The one good team they played totally sht them down. Now true they shouod have won big today after that start but LSU was a bit shell-shocked at first and Johnson ran all over them. Auburn WRs were making a,azing catches.

Then LSU settled down, got the cr9wd back into, and shut down the run. Then Auburn WRs stsrted dropping passes and they were running too much in a way that made the offense very predictable.

But yeah, they were overrated. Gus is who we all said he was.

Alabama should shut Auburn down, as the OL isn't good enough to support that offense vs Alabama's defense + Alabama's WRs are more than talented enough to expose the secondary.

I'd argue with the overrated part... in a respect. This is Les Miles 2013 LSU type "overrated" where the limiting factor was coaching not players. It's hard to view this game and ignore the impressive shell Auburn failed to go into.

From Q1 1:27 left until Q4 2:36


1st Down - 18 Runs 0 Passes
2nd Down - 11 Runs 5 Passes
3rd Down - 2 Runs 9 Passes
9/14 Passes were either in 3 & 7+ or 2 & 12+

But it will be. Much like the 2009 Iron Bowl.

Gus is gonna pull out all the stops and every trick in his book. Plus, Jordan Hare's a tough place to win, especially at night, and especially the Iron Bowl.

I have to agree. People have been crowing about their QB and I have said, "pump the brakes!" He hasn't faced a defense worth a shite since he has been a college QB. 2-1 at Baylor and faced a Top 30 defense in Oklahoma and LOST!!
At the Barn, faced 3 teams with Top 25 defenses and has now lost 2 of those. Miss State is the anomaly. A look at their remaining schedule shows UGA and BAMA looming inside the TOP 5 in total D and in Scoring D. 8-4 at best staring them in the face.
