What is your prediction for the Tennessee game?
Tough to say. If there were ever a true case of a script being flipped, it's this game. Last year we returned most of a successful team with a young QB establishing himself and we were full of promise. They were breaking in a new Oline with a young but talented defense and a questionable QB on the road in a hostile environment. It's completely opposite this year. 180 degrees. Conservative money gets put on Tennessee in this game.
BUT....
The offense they will face this year is nowhere near what they faced last year. It's not even close. We have weapons all over the field and the reports wondering about our Oline are unfounded. We will be able to run the ball on any front seven. Do you recall the "thunder and lightning" backfield Auburn had years ago? We're pretty sure we have that....maybe even better. We will have a two back set featuring two probable 1st talents in the backfield at the same time. UT didn't see much of Perine last year as he was an RB2. They will see him AND Mixon at the same time. Mixon is better than Perine by a wide margin.
We've upgraded our WR squad substantially. Last year they just had to worry about Shepherd and they weren't very successful just managing him. We will have an 8 WR rotation this year. Six of those will be 6'3"+ and they can all fly. DeDe Westbrook was the #1 JUCO WR in the nation last year and it appears he has lived up to his billing. He has been uncoverable thus far. We will also feature a 6'-6" TE Jace Amaro clone that RS last year.
In short, we have a sh*tton of talent they didn't have to deal with last year by a larger margin than people think. The potential is there for us to have an offense that simply has too much to handle. I didn't even list the other weapons. BUT......a lot of that talent isn't proven and they will be going into Neyland in their 2nd game of the season, and that's something.
I'm not worried about their defensive front. Neutralizing defensive fronts is what we do best. We will be in a dogfight for sure. I think we get them gassed in the 2nd quarter and the same in the 4th quarter and we win in spite of their advantages. We have a lot of "potential" playmakers" and I think they catch Tennessee by surprise and deliver.

there have been 2 1st rd RB taken in the past 3 drafts and you think you have two on your roster, even though one (woman beater) hasn't taken a snap(which you claim to be the better talent by a wide margin)

YYYYYYYYYup. And there's another behind those two who's a beast. We flipped him from YOU. RB is our deepest position by far.

It's fall camp and he drinks the kool aid.
Based on Fall camp news...our safety moves better than Richard Sherman, every true frosh is playing, and our new qb learned the playbook in 3 days.

Kool aid? Mixon was the #1 all purpose back recruit in the nation for a reason. That's not "kool aid". When you have Adrian Peterson and DeMarco Murray in the NFL tearing it up, getting top flight RBs is easy, and we have them in spades. We'll get another one this year. We'll be turning out NFL RBs for a few years to come. It is what it is. Sorry folks....

Demarco Murray was a 3rd rd pick.
Your running backs may be very good but the likelyhood of two first rounders is not very good.
Keith ford who was your starter at the beginning of last year before his injury transferred to us. I Think Ford for Anderson is a push.

Right. He was a 3rd round pick and he's been dominant. He's getting PAID now. Doesn't matter where they were picked, when your RBs are dominating the NFL, kids flock to you. We have established an NFL pipeline at RB. It is what it is. Why I say they're 1st rounders is because they're more complete in what they do, they have elite size and speed, and they're versatile. There aren't that many great RBs in the league right now and they will replenish. Don't buy the hype that it's just a passing league now. It isn't.
Ford has skills but he doesn't want to go to class or show up for team meetings with the rest of his team on time. Didn't have anything to do with injuries. He got passed on the depth chart and didn't want to do the work. Anderson does and he's just as good. That's not a push.

He's majoring in Mechanical Engineering. If you're going to make shite up, at least TRY to inject a dose of reality.

Don't give a rat's squirt of piss about his declared major. We have two years of experience with Keith Ford and what he does and doesn't do. We known him better than YOU DO. We sent Brandon Williams RB down to you too and he failed there as well. Ended up as a failed DB. You wanna talk "reality" cochise? Reality is......you're where our failed, all star, pre-madonna RBs who never earned their way, go to die on the vine. It is what it is.....

They'll be just fine. It is 6-7 games down the road that they should be worried about.
Posted on 8/18/15 at 3:43 am to bisonduck
That hair is excellent.
This is the best match up from week one in my eyes. Its hard to tell what AM will have but they have been ready for openers. This game will be a shoot out and ASU will win at the end. 41-38. They have a lot of pieces coming back and it may take TAM just a little time to put things together. By mid season, I expect TAM to be better than everyone expects

Hasn't played a single snap at DB. The move occurred over this past offseason.
Once again, you fail at context and probably at life as well.
and the term is "Prima Donna", which is italian for "First Lady", you ignorant meth-addicted fricktard.
