Serious football question.

Auburn's defense is #50 in total defense, but #23 in scoring defense.

I saw a little bit of the Penn State game, but otherwise have not watched Auburn play.

What is the strength of the Buzzard D? Your best or can't-do-without D player?

Thanks and here's to a fun game this week.

Owen Pappoe and Zakoby McClain

That dude has had a breakout years.

Very jealous. We haven't had an elite quality inside LB since Dat Nguyen.

Zakoby McClain

And we haven't had a player that could lay the wood like McClain since....Quentin Coryatt.



What kind of offenses have given Auburn trouble?

In the first half--- pretty much everybody

But seriously, I think in the first part of the season we were good for at least a few complete breakdowns in coverage that left people wide open for easy touchdowns. That appears to be getting better. Ga has scored the most points on us, at 34.

Auburn's redzone D was one of the reasons they beat the Rebs last weekend.

Yeah, that's what I am gathering.

That would account for the #50 in total D and the #23 in scoring D.

It would have been more effective against the type of offense Ole Miss offense runs, so it checks out.

Pappoe had not played since the Penn State game until last weekend due to injury.

I think our defense matches up better against TAM than it did against Arkansas and Ole Miss two games we won. It’s gonna be more like the Penn State game match up which we lost but we are over all a better team now than we were against Penn State.

Bend don’t break, and please don’t watch the Ole Miss game. You should always go for it on fourth down.

TEs have feasted on us and we play off man and a ton of zone. Been an interesting change from Kevin Steele's man press all game Defense. I still think our guys are trying to fit in the scheme so its pretty basic and not as exotic or aggressive as Mason wants. Our second half adjustments have been really good.
