Does Auburn have a shot if they play Franklin all game?

Auburns offense can be a different beast with a QB like Franklin. LSU hasn't played a complete game all season. Auburn's defense can hang in there for a while, maybe even the whole game. If LSU doesn't step on Auburn's throat early, will we witness Gus keep his job and Les lose his at the same time?

We've done a good job building big leads the last 2 weeks in the 1st half only to come out completely tripping over ourselves in the 2nd half.

Last year we got out to a 24-0 halftime lead on Auburn, they come out and score a TD in the 2nd half but then we respond with 2 more TDs right after that. If we get out to another big lead in the first half again this week we need to do what we did last year and crush it early in the 2nd half too.

It sounds Franklin can basically run like 3 plays, 1 of them a passing play. So......probably not.

Bama fans are so quick to answer questions about Auburn.

I would imagine there is a very good reason they don't play him all of the game.

There is a lot of us here. Also, the title doesn't imply that you were asking Auburn fans only.

I would love to see netflix play a whole game.

Was that question not answered in all the other threads?

They should just run the Cox whirlybird the whole game. Make LSU stop it, if they can.

Sure they do. But they're not likely to do that from what I've read. The thing is, LSU appears to be better against the run this season than they were a year ago so it's going to be strength against strength on both sides of the ball. Both teams can and will run the ball well at times. I'd say the team which executes the passing game the best will win this game.

Franklin is a glorified wildcat QB. I would be surprised to see him get significant time unless White gets hurt.

A shot at what? Winning against a good team? NO. We could beat a marshmallow with him. Thats about it

He is very raw. He would make so many mistakes if he were to play an entire game, it would not even be funny. Id say he would fumble 5 times and throw 5 interceptions

Sean White is terrible but he is our best bet unfortunately. Sad state of our program. We will not win more than two SEC game this year with Sean White playing at QB. Zero with Netflix.

No, I would think he's better as a "change of pace" guy.

But he can probably get some yards and convert on 3rd downs

Nope.

if they pick their spots, yea.

This isn't a walk in the park by any means for LSU. It isn't like there's this tremendous width of talent. LSU has beaten an MSU team that is a shell of the last two years and even a JSU team that seems down this year. JSU had one returning receiver that even caught a ball last year. They trailed CC for a while last week in that game. Took a 13-12 lead into half and won 27-26 and looked ugly doing it.
AU-LSU should be very entertaining.
