I just hope we win, but my gut tells me we win by two scores or more.

" When the defense is getting behind the line, big things happen, but there were only three times so far this year when the D failed to come up with five tackles for loss – Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Ole Miss. Auburn lost all three games."

Auburn lost to Ole Miss? News to me.

Well, they should have. Their last miracle saved that game.

 

[BamaMoon]

Oh brother...I hope they are wrong about Bama having to get a 4th qt. stop to win.

I'd love to watch this game in the second half with J. Coker and our second and third teamers getting some quality reps!

I'm at a loss....on one hand, I think we will mop the field with them....then, I start thinking about some of the recent outcomes....I can't pick it.

Like I said in the prediction thread, my head is trying to get my heart to come back down to earth because my heart thinks we win big. I still have a good feeling about this game though, but these games you can never tell. I just can't see Auburn winning after what happened last year. Plus we get them at home at night. BDS is going to be rocking. We didn't make a late comeback against LSU, and beat State just to let us lose to our biggest rival. I think Bama makes a statement.

42-14 & 49-0 should give you some comfort.

except for 2009 we were banged up bad, our teams should have beat them my 3 TD's every game even Camgate. We just did not convert 3rd downs or perform well in the red zone, everyone wants to blame the kicking game but a lot of inefficiencies lead to that opportunity

59/0 Bama wins!

 

[Alasippi]

We may score every time we get the ball.

Bama 54
Auburn 17
RTR!

 

[Crimson Speed]

I'm glad we were not idle last week, as we seem to stumble to get started in those situations. Also, I hope Cooper has fully recovered and 100 percent because he is such a difference maker. As others have mentioned, this becomes a struggle between the heart and the mind. My mind says Bama wins big, but I realize this is always a game that swings heavily on emotions. Our loss to Ole Miss, I believe, gave this team the motivation it needs to finish strong. If we have good QB play in the passing game, I believe we will take the barn behind the barn for a good ole fashion whoopin.

 

[Special K]

You never know with this game what might happen, but I'd be a lot more confident if we were a little healthier. Should be a good one, I'm looking forward to it. I think home field will be a big factor in this one, hope I'm right.

 

[BamaMoon]

Agreed. And as far as the head heart distinction, it is my head that thinks we win big. My heart is still skittish.

I agree! The "facts" - the won/loss records, our strengths vs their weakness, and, in general the way we've played recently vs. the way they've played recently all point to a win.

Then, there is the unexplainable Barner voodoo that troubles the heart.

I think this game is at home and not on the road.

I agree. We should know how the game goes on the first offensive series IMO. If we're tight, it'll be close. If not, we win big.

 

[russtang]

We will get a win. I think the offense will produce enough to win the game.
BUT, I won't feel comfortable until I see the defense slowing down their running game and get a couple three and out's.

 

[Al A Bama]

We may score every time we get the ball.

Bama 54
Auburn 17
RTR!

Alasippi, I sure hope that you are accurate with this prediction.

The only way I would feel better is to have a "0" where you have "17".

I would like to see an illness on the Barn side that a doctor can't help: fumbleitis! Throw in a few interceptions for some pick-6es also.

yeah, in 2010, if mark's fumble goes out of bounds or if trent catches the wideopen end zone pass that was in his hands we win (there were a lot of what ifs in that game, but these were more wth moments)

 

[CrimsonEyeshade]

Give me a 1-point lead and give me all zeroes on the clock.

While I acknowledge that chalk normally holds in the game, the losses in '72, '82, '86, '93, '97, 2010 and 2013, individually, are among the weirdest football games I've ever seen. Together, they are a trans-generational horror show.

 

[92tide]

what gives me confidence this year is that this seems to be one of the more cohesive teams that we have had since saban arrived.

 

[Rush]

Amen, brother...

Personally, I feel that we most always have at least a fair amount of angst about this game, regardless of the apparent disparity between the teams in those years where we`re objectively superior. I think that that angst is well placed. That`s because this is THE game for Auburn. They will always put every bit of their heart, soul, emotion and energy into this game. To my knowledge, they do not and never have felt or done otherwise. That`s how they hang around and do such things as block two consecutive punts and run them in or return a missed field goal on the last play of the game. This is all my opinion, of course.
