Auburn worries me a lot. They have ruined a lot of Dawg seasons in Athens in the past. Stidham can get hot and give our defense fits.
Our pass defense has been pretty strong this year, Stidham if under pressure is not very good at all. The AU OL has NOT been good this year and they do not have a RB like Johnson from last year. Without that balance, I really feel good about our defense being able to attack Auburn and put Stidham under a LOT of pressure. You will see a lot more of Beal, Cox, Anderson, and of course Walker this week.
Auburn CAN beat us, they do have some talent, but if we don't make mistakes we should win this game. They have won two in a row, but keep in mind A&M totally blew that game last week-throwing a pick late in the game and letting AU get rolling-but AU couldn't run the ball at all on them and the A&M secondary is not a strength. AU also beat Ole Miss, but again, that is one of the worst defenses you will see and AU put up 31 while SCarolina just put up 48 on them.
Auburn this year has scored more than 30 points three times this season, 63 against Alabama State, 34 against Arky and 31 against Ole Miss. Amazingly, this will only be their third road game of the season since they play at the dome against Washington which was a home game for them but not on their campus. They lost to Miss State 23-9 and beat Ole Miss 31-16, they did a good job of keeping Ole Miss off the board but they passed for 324 yards on them while rushing for 123. Tenn who is NOT a very good offense, threw for 328 yards against Auburn, had a total of 396 yards. Against that same UT team, we didn't play very well but had 441 yards of offense and gave up only 209 yards.
Auburn will have our full attention, or should, after beating us badly last year on the plains. We have a LOT to play for and Kirby has faced Gus many times over the years. Yes, they can spoil our season for sure, but we are going to have to play badly like at LSU for them to do it. We are playing our best coming into this game.
