After this iron bowl?


Don't go by the Iron Bowl. HUGE rivalry game. Yes, so is GT, but Auburn is still a pretty decent team and they play tough against Alabama when they have a decent team.

That said I think we can beat them by 10+ points. Saban is a different animal and can usually keep it pretty close. I don't see it being more than a 10 point game, but I hope we take them out by 2-3 TDs. I just don't see it, though.

I'm not going to feel comfortable with anything less than a 3+ score lead with less than 5 mins to go in the game.

Other than some idea that we have a mental block about Alabama (which I don't think is true anymore - if it ever was), there's nothing to indicate that this should be a huge struggle.

Alabama's offensive line has had problems all year and they've eeked out very close games against several teams. They're also thin at RB and their defense is way off from their usual standards. Looking at how their OL struggled against Auburn's front, not sure why it would be different against UGA. I could see not just a win but even a big win...unless Saban pulls some kind of coaching voodoo on Smart.

Idk, I was pretty shocked but this year's outcome. People always say AU plays bama tough in JHS but that's generally when AU has a forimdable team of their own (13, 17, 19, etc). AU is not a very good team this year, and they got even less good when nix went down. Finley is not a very good QB at all. We roasted AU up and down the field and barely gave them anything and that was with themj being full strength on offense. That game said a looooot more about bama to me than it did about AU. Bama is smiply not a very good football team. Coming down the back streth of the season they were in a fight in the 4th quarter against tennessee at home, easily could have lost to LSu at home and only pulled it out in the final minute, let Arkansas practically score at will at home, and needed multiple ots on the road to beat au.
