Iron Bowl Discussion

First off, holy hell. What a game this is set up to be. I am pumped to see this, and I know the rest of Jordan Hare will be rocking.

With that said, I feel about 45% on this game. I don't see Auburn dominating Alabama's defense like we did Georgia. I will say, with Alabama's injuries on defense, I might be wrong. Luckily, It looks like Auburn is playing their top football now. Our oline is healing up, Kerryon is healthy, and Stidham is playing like the QB we wanted in the offseason.

I am extremely confident our defense will keep us in this game late. While I don't think AU's oline will get the same push it did against Georgia, the same I cannot say about our defensive line (and defense as a whole). They are playing lights out football right now.

I see this game coming down to three key factors.

1. Special Teams

I'm actually quite worried about Alabama's punting game. Scott is a freaking weapon. To be able to turn field position like he can is an extremely underrated attribute to a team.

I'm also worried about our punt and kickoff teams. Neither has done a great job this year tackling.

FG wise, I feel pretty good

2. Mistakes

Can't make costly, dumb mistakes against a Saban team.

3. Coaching

For the first time in what felt like forever, our coaching staff called a great game all around. Offensive play calling was on point, we were aggressive, and we capitalized. Gus, Steele, and Lindsey will need to have another sort of that game.

Regardless of the outcome, I am excited. I hope it is a good, clean game without injuries
