Incredible defensive line

A lot of depth all over

Ridiculously fast players on offense

Veteran OL

Swiss Army knife type players to use in HUNH (Joiner and some kid whose name I won’t attempt to spell)

Malzahn back in control of the offense

All they need is a dual threat QB. Auburn with low expectations is the most dangerous Auburn there is. I’m thinking they win in TS this year as well.

I don't even know how to estimate them.

Can totally see Auburn going 11-1 or 10-2 this year. It’s what they do in these situations.

I agree. They are going to be a factor.

I for one am expecting a crazy circus of a game for Bama at JHS per usual when Auburn has a good team.

I too think so. Don't under-estimate these guys. They will win at least 2-3 games that they are picked to lose.

There is no question about QB. It will be Bo Nix as the starter and he's going to do really really well.

Really? Cuz half of your fans are saying Gatewood is the starter. Sounds like a question to me.

I know Auburn has had some rabbit in the hat years, but this any hype this year is absurd.

Our OL got better last year but was still rather shitty. We’re losing a veteran quarterback to two freshmen.

Our running backs have potential but honestly, neither Boobie nor Shivers struck me as a competitive SEC back.

We do have speed on offense but Malzahn now has a long, consistent history of producing absolute dud gameplans. We will not go to A&M or LSU and win. We will not beat Georgia or Alabama.

Can the magic happen? Sure.

But there’s no reason to predict it.

I believe I made the same arguments and was shot down:

Y'all are stupid to overlook Auburn

Some people are buying into the coach speak that it is neck and neck. Gus has done gone with that comment almost every year he's been here and in the end the projected person gets the job and this time it will be Bo, Gatewood likely will play some in short yardage type situations but this is going to be Bo's team.

Calling people stupid off the jump probably isn’t the best way to get agreement

Does Gatewood transfer at the end of the season if Nix plays the whole season?

You said that our OL was really good and our defense was serviceable when the reality is our OL is a huge question mark and our defense is our biggest strength.

I think alot of people recognize that no one has any idea if they'll be good or not. Luckily we don't have long until we find out how good everyone is.
