I see the game being similar to the LSU game, Gus will throw everything at the defense by halftime and after that it'll just be a slaughter.
Question: Why does awbarn think we don't have a chance?
- Thread starter 3 tide tats
- Start date
Like 2011 I think they will score a couple of long ones simply due to our weaknesses at corner. They will zig when they should zag or bite and get torched but that will happen. I just think our offense is structured to shred their defense. What I haven't heard is the depth advantage Bama has. AU is incredibly thin and it will show in spades in the 2nd half.
I expect us to pass early because they will be loaded to stop the run. On defense, I don't think we blitz much at all; just play sound assignment defense.

Gus will be throwing the kitchen sink at Bama, but I also expect a wrinkle or two from Coach Saban. Probably nothing gimmicky, but a new look that is a counter to past tendencies, like doing something else from midfield when Auburn is looking for the deep post.
I guess I'm thinking of 2009 like he said. Seems like they were busted coverages that went a long way.
I have been telling Aubie wife They think its Christmas with sugar plums dancing in there heads, But don't forget Nick Saban is the Grinch.
My Facebook post after that game was that the awbrin family needed to send a thank you gift basket to the Bama locker room because without those two gifts, awbrin would have been shut out. My barner son-in-law didn't find any humor in my post at all.
My keys against Auburn:
1. Offensive efficiency early and often. They're aggressive to a fault up front and play a great deal of zone behind their 4-man and 5-man rushes. Ellis Johnson will definitely show some new looks with two weeks of prep but DCs always go back to what they are in the end. Quick drop passes, screens, and the run in the first half need to be sharp so Alabama can frustrated their defensive line. In the second half, Alabama needs to extend the QB's drops and attack deep once they've manipulated the defense towards the short stuff and the run.
2. Lock down on special teams. Auburn needs something big to happen on special teams to really have a chance. Stealing seven points in special teams is a huge momentum shifter. On our return/place kick end, we need to be airtight with no fumbles.
3. Short memory defense. Auburn is going to come in with a compliment of pop plays to attack the likely single-high safety looks focusing on the run. Stay true to the keys and keep their run game in check. Making Auburn pass a lot on third and medium/long is the key to victory.

I just don't understand why some fans feel the need to talk trash before the game is played. The barner friends on facebook have been doing this for a week and look as if the will be doing it for another. the tide fans are no better. i have remained quiet and have said and believe this game will be epic and one for the ages. I did however call them out for their trash talking and told them to wait until after the game is over and either be a gracious winner or be a gracious loser.
The best are the SDS threads on Facebook. They are all talking trash and attacking anyone who says that Alabama is the better team. You know... team of destiny and all that.
We cannot beat them badly enough.

If they had the capacity to be gracious losers, then this would be just another football game.
