QB Auburn

Nix is more talented than Trask and he has faced tougher competition. Since the end of the first QTR against Oregon, Nix is 9TDs 0 INTs

RB Florida- they are older and more talented

OLINE Auburn - Neither are great but Auburn is starting to push people around in the run game.

WR- Florida- is closer than people think. But Florida has the edge here

DL- Auburn- not close

LB Auburn- Really close but going with AU.

DBs Florida- Most of the yards AU has given up was in late blowouts. If CJ Henderson is hurt AU has the better unit

ST- PUSH

These are always odd. The OL doesn’t play the OL

Boy you Auburn folks sure are confident after beating two overrated teams.

This will be a pillow fight. Who wins is a toss-up. It's very possible we see a lot of Auburn threads Sunday saying how bad Nix sucks.

Name just a couple players on either team for ST and I’ll believe you did the proper analysis to label this a push.

Dline is closer than you want to think. Greenard and Zuniga are damn good. I agree yours is better overall but it doesnt merit "not close"


Also so far based on performance...I'd take Trask for one game over Nix. Nix is still wild. We shall see...clearly Nix has a big future but I've seen him look average or all but one game so far. Trask has only come in and set a UF record for comps in a row and lead a 19 point comeback in a quarter.

This has to be a troll job.
UFs DBs without Henderson still have more ints than AUs 1, yeah, ONE fkn pick all year.

QBs, Nix throws it more, Mullen likes to be balanced even though our WRs are the strength. Nix took 37 passes vs Tulane and barely had over 200 yards. If not for the MSST game, his stats are more laughable as he doesnt even avg 200 yards per game.

OL. Yeah, Ill give you that one.

DL. Your guys are hard to move, run stuffers. None are really Passrush demons. Ill take Z, Greenard and Moon anyday when a play has to be made

WRs. Schwartz is a bad mofo but as a whole, no question we have more weapons to spread the ball to.

Quarterback- Florida. Home field advantage helps, and Trask has been efficient. Give me the experience over a true freshman on the road.

RB- Auburn. Florida May have more “talent” at running back, but it’s completely useless behind an OL that can’t run block and considering the defense we’re playing that specializes in stopping the run.

OL- Auburn. Enough said

WR- Florida. We depend on them more, and have a more talented group top to bottom. Watch how Florida’s receivers do blocking against somewhat undersized Auburn DB’s. Could be a key to the game.

DL- Auburn. Very close, and very tempted to give the edge to the team that leads the country in sacks and TFL, and is getting their best DE back this week. Both units have the ability to change the game. We all know the dudes on Auburn’s DL

LB- Florida. Another close unit, but I think a game changer is Amari Burney. Super athletic, sub 4.5 guy at linebacker that can cover and play in the box in the run game. He can move all over the defense and is an excellent complement to David Reese. Burney is a difference maker at linebacker that I don’t think Auburn has.

DB- Florida. Arguably the best cornerback duo in America will finally be healthy and on the field at the same time again. Safety play has improved mightily throughout the season with brad Stewart and Shawn Davis both emerging. Auburn’s secondary has shown some leakage, but mostly in garbage time. Edge to the Gators.

Special Teams- both teams ought to be well coached, I can’t speak for auburn but Florida May have one of the top 3 kickers in school history and Tommy Townsend has been reliable. Steady but not explosive punt returner Freddie Swain and not sure what we have at kick return due to touchbacks.

All being said, I have the Gators at home 28-20

Interesting stat from a poster on another site on Nix’s stats when under pressure

Under pressure, Nix is 8-for-35 for 117 yards with one touchdown and one interception, per Sports Info Solutions. Last Saturday, Nix, who went 16-for-21 passing for 335 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions, didn’t complete a pass in the five times Mississippi State pressured him.

Hoping the Gators can dial up some pressure on Nix tomorrow. Trick is stopping the run first which seems like will be a TOUGH task.

Auburn is 2nd in the SEC in Rushing Yards/Game and Florida is 11th. Why would Florida be rated higher in this category? If anything, running the football is their biggest weakness.
