It was not written in code. What part are you not getting?

true, but we scored 35 points in something like 55 plays (included a couple kneel downs) and got destroyed in TOP.

Tennessee is a better football team than Arkansas overall, but their strengths of rush offense and solid defensive line (and the bye week) matched up well with Auburn's weaknesses. I don't see UT matching up as well.

Dobbs scares me, though... UT will rely on him for most of their offensive production (both passing and running)... he will play better at home and will take some steps forward in his 2nd start.

That is a good point. Transitive properties dont work but it is possible.

Remember when Mississippi State was relevant? Yeah, neither do I.

Aub: 66 TN: 3

automatic win for AU; laying $$ on AU can fund your post season BCS trip

If Auburn is -2 in TO margin and/or loses it's starting QB to injury, then it can absolutely happen.

Yeah that was kind of a joke. I think Dobbs makes some strides and the D plays better at home, but AU still gets a decisive victory.

The vols played a Georgia team extremely tough that had not been yet crushed by the injury bug. They also beat a South Carolina team with Jadavion Cloweney that beat a number 5 Mizzou at the time. Don't count UT out of this one.

I expect us to lose, but I think Auburn is a better match up than Mizzou.

Shaw got hurt late in the 4th quarter.

if we show up and play like we played against USCe and UGA, this will be a great game and anyone can win.

If we show up like Bama and Mizzou, Auburn kills us.

We play big at home. We will have to do that if we want a W this weekend.

Lookin forward to it

I'm not sure I follow. Mizzou has a better defense, a more balanced offense, and we had to play them on the road.

Auburn is definitely a better match up for Tennessee.

Depends on if our lines on both sides of the ball but especially on defense show up. Part of our problem in maintaining line consistency is that we don't have the personnel to even practice in full pads all of the time.

How so? Stats are pretty even, and they haven't even played OM or A&M yet.

Who passes the ball when they don't have to? More than 2/3 of Missouri's TDs are passing. And isn't UT dead last is RYPG anyway? That fared well for A&M. So what team was it again that is tops in rushing in the league by a wide margin?

Seriously, what the heck is the deal with your field? Did you guys hire the turf manager from Glendale, AZ 2010?

Turf tech. Don't worry bout it. It just hates Dawgs.
