    Heads up Dawgs! You guys just need to continue to play lights out football and on being the elite team that you are and don't listen to the junk trash talk out there! Stay focused, stay strong, stay confident, and knowing that this is your year to win it all! You guys got my vote and support! Nothing is impossible with God and just know you as a team can do all things through Jesus Christ who gives us all strength....(Phil. 4:13) from day to day and game to game (my tad bit added)!!

    The main thing is to stay healthy and get our injured guys back into action soon! Ya'll got this boys! Beat Auburn and keep rolling never looking back, but always going forward!

    Go Dawgs!!

    I personally think once you dig into the stats, the only way for Auburn to win this thing is by creating a flurry of turnovers. We are top tier in the nation at 3rd down conversion, and defensively they stink at defending that. They are out of the top 50 in red zone D, and we’ve been effective there the past few weeks. They have an awful defensive passing efficiency and our offense is dominant there. I predict a very conservative game plan from Todd Monken, where we will beat them via death by a thousand cuts. We’ve been dominating situational football the past few weeks and I think if we do that Saturday we can open things up a bit and dink/dunk for more yardage/higher point total than folks expect.

    Thank you @BubbaBill, for pointing out that Clemson only had 2 yards rushing against us. The article conveniently omits that stat, but does cautiously note that UAB had 127 yards rushing in what was a blowout, meaning they likely gained many of those yards against second- and third-stringers. Auburn will run the ball (they can't pass EVERY down) but like others have said, I don't believe that they will have long-term success against us running the ball. Go Dawgs!

    Just my humble opinions here. But the Warped Eagles May have their hands full and over running stopping the Dawgs run game !! If our O line blocks as well as they did vs. Ark I Believe our run game will give them a very tough row to hoe !! And as for the Dawgs D stopping their run, I’m Believing they Can and they Will. This Dawgs D is blazing fast !! And extremely strong !! Can anyone imagine the thought of being on the opposing team and facing a absolute Beast like Jordan Davis with that dude’s size, strength, and speed ??!!?? And the thing is when he has to rest the drop off is very, very little when you have Devonte Wyatt coming at you !! And I can’t even count all the other guys on the D flying around rotating in and out of the game !! Bo Nix is a big dude, and fast, with good instincts about pressure. His game does seem better. I give him his due respect. STILL I Believe this Dawgs D collectively Is one of the fastest and strongest we’ve seen in a long time !! As of right now unless they have some sort of break down To Me they rank in the Top 3 Dawgs Defenses I’ve seen in at least 25 years or so at This point in time. And as I said barring some sort of weird break down or a bunch of injuries I just don’t see that changing. All homerism aside Right Now I think this Dawgs D is the best in the country when looked at in totality. Some people say the Secondary is suspect, maybe, maybe not, but they don’t have much to sweat when the defensive front and linebackers won’t let the QB and/or RBs breathe !! And I also Believe the Secondary is Now improved in spite of youth. So it’s not like their just gonna sit back and play checkers while some opposing QB throws into their territory !! They are very talented, fast, and have a ton of pride on the line. And Now they have 5 games of experience under their belt. When you couple that to the tremendous pressure up front it makes the Secondary even more confident. Plus Kirby Smart and Will Muschamp coaching them up , it don’t get much better than that !! Go Dawgs !! Beat Dem Warped Eagles !!

    Jordan Davis gets like 5 sacks

  • LoranwhaddayagotLoranwhaddayagot Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Based on what I saw of the Awbarn / LSU game, Arkansas' offensive line is better!

    The plays I saw, the Barner OL players were looking around and looked very sluggish compared to our D.

    If Darnell is a good blocker (and I believe he is!) and our OL keeps growing from last week, I think Zeus and Company are gonna make the Plains all theirs!

    It will indeed be interesting to see if Auburn can sustain a running attack against UGA. I do, however, discount the 127 yards UAB got. It took them 36 carries to do it (3.5 ypc) and most of that came in garbage time against the 3's and 4's. And Tank Bigsby could have been a Dawg. All they had to do was take him, along with Milton, but they chased Zachary Evans instead. And we know how that turned out.

    Now, watch. When UGA hold Auburn to 150 yards rushing and they fall to number 50 in terms of average rushing yards, then, people will claim UGA has not faced a good rushing team.

    I like the way you think sir!

    And it was me that “off topiced “ you. I was trying to hit the “quote “ button. Mea Culpa! Fat fingers!

    Feel free to hang one on me! I owe you at least a cold one!

    Go Dawgs!

    Beat dem tigers!

  • PopeyethesailorPopeyethesailor Posts: 443 ✭✭✭✭ Senior

    Stack the box, Kirby. Dare Nix to beat you with his arm, while Jordan Davis and company are bearing down on him. Hell get some yards. Probably make a circus play, or two. But Auburn war Eagles/Tigers/etc (what is it with Alabama teams having trouble deciding over one mascot?) can no beat Dawgs throwing. Hope Kirby keeps the foot on the gas until we maintain a four score lead.

  • DawgOnDawgOn Posts: 266 ✭✭✭ Junior

    We can stop them without stacking the box, and I distrust Harsin's saying they will try to run on us. Why take on a team's strength? I believe he plans to let Bo run around like a chicken and toss passes to whomever. What good general foretells his plans?

    they should run on passing downs, while Jo Davis isn't there, and throw on running downs. But if we make them one dimensional its over.
