Auburn > LSU??

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

Definitely from a defensive standpoint and it really isn't close IMO

Also think he is looking at the amount of misdirection plays they will run on offense and the match up nightmares that can cause for the still very young linebackers. Yeah overall LSU has a more dynamic offense but I think the au defense overshadows the lsu offense. JMO

And AU crowd.....Bama can not let this AU team play with a lead ......
Keeping it close is paramount

Best D we’ve played, hands down. Who’d have though the Barn would have a better D than us under the Bus. Backwards stuff this year. Kevin Steele ain’t half bad down there.

Best team to put points on the board IMO, LSU.

Best defensive team IMO, Auburn.

Agree and disagree with Coach.

Auburn's offense is horrific most of the time with flashes of being able to move the ball. The only threat I see that they have that will be useful against Alabama is a running QB.
Auburn's defense, particularly their linemen, are excellent and will make things tough for Alabama running and passing. I do think Alabama may have some success running around Auburn though.. (i'm including the screen game).

Mac is very quick and accurate on his screens giving his receivers and backs a lot of time before contact. They will need that on saturday.

I think he was doing the opposite of Orgeron's factual but disrespectful comments about Arkansas after the game Saturday.



Coach Saban always publicly lauds the other team (...except that time when he was caught inside the huddle on the bench years stating he hated the other team).

In our defense (pun intended)... Less our injuries and if our Dline had come back like Auburn's did... then we'd have a pretty dominant Defense too... Just saying.

 

[jdpas29]

It certainly would be better. That is true. We need about 3 more Barmores.

 

[rick4bama]

Hoping Bama start and finish the whole game, in the winning circle!

The whole ESPN crew is politicking and working to get either Utah or OU to jump Bama.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

It wouldn’t be a real playoff without bama.....

Yeah I agree. They know LSU will beat the hell out of Georgia.

 

[planomateo]

Wimp just said that (me rephrasing) Gus's contract states full payment within 30 days of termination.

If that's truth, just wow.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Yeah I agree. They know LSU will beat the hell out of Georgia.

Georgia has been somewhat lucky this year, they've faced a higher than normal amount of backup QBs.
