Tre Mason was a workhorse last year for Auburn, and he gone. What do you have in the backfield that you expect can moderately replace his sterling production?
2 more workhorses in CAP and Peyton Barber, a much sturdier/stronger version of Onterrio McCaleb, and a dynamic 5 star freshman
ETA:
Oh, and our QB ran for over 1000 yards and 12 TDs last season too

Yall actually have about 8 years of tape to study.
If you can outscore us, good luck. Our DC knows Spurriers tendancies and will exploit them.

Nice to see some real football dialog without the rainbow coalition of Misery fans pushing some social agenda around the place.

I expect this to be the other way around. Johnson can't defend against a pass-happy team for shite. That's why Petrino's Arky teams always carved up USC when he was there.
And for the record, I don't hate Johnson, at all. It's just pretty apparent that he underachieved with all of the talent that he had here. Ward has been an upgrade, and a very pleasant surprise.
The gameplan I expect USC to use to try and beat Auburn is much the same that they've used against Clemson the last few years. However, I'm not naive enough to think that USC will have the same advantage at the line of scrimmage against Auburn as they did against Clemmy. It'll be much more even than that.
Like I said, I expect this to be one of the marquee games of the SEC schedule.

Joke first. Bert disagrees with that.
Serious inquiry next. Was our offense that different to what was run whrn gus was oc? Did you guys not keep those tapes
And I am glad the board has come around to the fact that Mason wasn't a system back. I think we will have admirable replacements but I do expect some drop off because Mason was just that good.

Correction: He WAS a system back 3 days ago when he fell to the 3rd round. Then in the next breath they will tell you he was a Heisman finalist and irreplaceable at Auburn.

Why would wened to replace Tre Mason? We return 2700 yards of rushing offense as it is.

Exactly

This right here.
Despite losing some talent on the run game we're going to be much improved in the passing game. People forget how little NM passed the ball - guy is gonna be more confident and likely more accurate with a whole, championship run year under his belt (+ offseason).

Are you saying UGA blasted USC last season when the difference was only 11 points? Or are you saying UGA is going to blast USC in Williams-Brice this coming season, where we haven't lost a game since 2011?
Either way, you're an idiot

Well, for starters, the 3 returning players with significant rushing stats are
Artis-Payne - 91 for 610 yds - 6.7 YPC
Grant - 66 for 647 yds - 9.8 YPC
Marshall - 172 for 1068 yds - 6.2 YPC
So, our returning ball carriers are accounting for 2325 yards(7.56 YPC avg), which is just 255 yards less than what S Carolina totaled in rushing last year. We also have 247 composite 5* Roc Thomas coming in as a true freshman, as well we Peyton Barber, who Tre Mason said would be a better RB than him, as well.
On top of all that, we return 4 starters off probably the best OL in the league, and the two options to fill the LT spot were two consensus top 100 players.
I think our running game is going to ok. Malzahn will have his 12th, and very possibly 13th, 1000 yard rushers in 9 years after the season is over.

Are you saying that a double digit victory is not a blast!
Look you all know deep down in your hearts and minds that you will lose to the dawgs everytime you face us on the grid iron..... Occasionally you will win and its a great moment your fan base can cherish. We get that but, let's not be obtuse and think lone uncommon wins against UGA are anything other than what they are.
LSU has much the same relationship with Alabama.
I feel you have a much better shot at Auburn this season, at least on paper.

I believe y'all are 8-6 against us since 2000. Before then y'all were 39-11.

Thats exactly what I'm saying. It was back and forth game that certainly wasn't a blowout.
Now 35-7, that is a "blasting"

Since '92 when we joined the SEC the series record is 14-8 in favor of the dawgs. Seems like we get far more than an occasional win

Thats pretty stupid considering UGA hasn't scored over 7 points the last two times they've been to Williams-Brice Sandstorm gets all up in UGA players' and coaches' heads

South Carolina can't beat Auburn. So no.

South Carolina can't beat Auburn. So no.
Like how we used to be 0-12 in Gainsville before beating the Gators 36-14 and winning the East in the Swamp.
Or like how we had never beaten a #1 ranked team before Alabama showed up in 2010.
We could never beat Clemson or Georgia more than twice in a row.
Anyways, in all honesty, the Auburn game will absolutely be our toughest game. But not because we have a shitty record against them. @Florida will be our 2nd toughest game.
