I would definitely agree with this , except Harsin, Bobo, and Mason don’t roll that way. They are good guys and really good coaches.

Two things I’m concerned about:

1. Stetson trying to force throws that aren’t there
2. Crowd noise

My prediction:

Nix plays the first half, doesn't do shite, and gets the hook.

Finley plays the second half, doesn't do shite, and AU gets an 'L'.

Harsin fires the QB coach Monday morning.

This game makes me nervous, too. Notice that over on the rant they are defending fairly's hit. That kind of shite is what I'm talking about. I can see them trying to take out knees.

Have you watched Auburn play? At no position do they have an advantage over us.

This D is too sound to give up many points and I see us utilizing Bowers quite a bit early that will open up the run game.

42-7 type game maybe 42-10.

I can't tell if I'm being irrational, but I'd be upset if we gave up more than 3 points to Auburn's offense this weekend.

This image of the Big O got me pumped for the game. Stet or JT will have a field day. Even with all the injuries at wr.

Concerns:

Getting predictable and behind the sticks on 2nd and 3rd down because we aren’t able to consistently run the ball on 1st down.

Road noise rattling our OL and Stetson

Turnovers

Defensively, none really. I don’t think Auburn poses much of a threat. Not a good matchup. No playmakers at pass catcher, not overly innovative offensively, Bo Nix May be able to scramble some and keep drives alive but I just honestly believe he’s gonna be frustrated.

I would be certain they are preparing for noise. One good scoring drive and a stop and AU fans will fold.

I see the defense being elite… I see Stetson possibly struggling on the road in a tough environment. Hope I’m wrong… Dawgs 20 AU 9

Damn - this is definitely a new era. Going to play Auburn on the road and many folks can't even imagine them giving us a battle.

Didn't we go there once ranked #1 and got beat? Obviously this Auburn team isn't in the ballpark of that one but Kirby has been talking all week about Nix being able to extend the average play from 3 seconds to 8 seconds. And Auburn's run defense?

Of course the talent gap has grown between UGA and Auburn.

I don't think there's anyway they can get more than 10 on the Dawgs unless multiple pick 6's are thrown.

I'm not overlooking them. If what I saw is right their defense is statistically right behind ours. Also hearing we have more injuries than we have had since the Clemson game. We need our guys to hurry up and get healthy.

If your inner Larry Munson doesn’t have you worried about this one, you haven’t been a UGA fan very long.

If there's one area of Kirby's coaching ability that's vastly improved since his hire,it's his ability to get his team focused from one game to the next.

I believed he learned a great deal from the bowl game vs UT and the SC game in '19.

There's no doubt they'll be ready and focused come Saturday.If anything,Auburn might have a little bit of a hangover coming off a big victory on the road at night while our game was over after the 1st qtr with a noon kickoff.

Yea, I wish we'd had Akron and Alabama State to pad our defensive stats, too.

I think Auburn plays Dawgs close, and even scores 10-17 points but Dawgs depth will be too much in second half and pulls away 31-17.


If Auburn puts 17 on this defense, then it isn't anywhere near as good as we think. Auburn blows.
