At the beginning of the year I thought this might be one of those games that we could win, maybe a 60/40 chance we could win. After watching the first few games I am more 40/60. Auburn hasn't been tested yet defensively either, neither Louisiana Tech/WVA/or Miss St have a very good defense, but, they have also not been held under 37 points either. So really who knows, guess we will find out Saturday

Both have good D's but I think Auburn's offense so far is much better. The loss of our MLB Reviez is gonna hurt big time. We just can't afford injuries and so far we have plenty of them, depth is a concern at just about every position other than RB and in the secondary.

I honestly thought we should be 3-1 entering this game and then this one would be a pivotal game that could jump start us on a brutal 4 game stretch. I said all along the UCLA and Auburn game were going to be the two games that either make us 8-4 / 7-5 vs 5-7 / 6-6. I hope we can pull this one out.

Honestly, I don't think UT's D is that good...besides Florida, they've faced the 115th, 108th, and 103rd ranked offenses..and that's out of 120 teams. Their Defensive numbers should look good. Auburn has played both the 31st and 35th ranked overall defenses already...so, IMO they've been tested more vs. good defenses that UT has been vs. a good offense. The only offense UT has faced this year is Florida's. You never know how a game's gonna go, but I think on paper this stacks up all in the favor of Auburn. IMO it's their game to lose.

With UTs injuries on D, I would give Auburn a slight edge right now. I think it should be a dandy game though. With UT being at home and Auburns first road game I believe, we could very easily see a 20-17 type game going either way.

So what your saying is, UT doesn't stand a chance and shouldn't show up Saturday.....

You could argue who people played and what they are ranked offensively and defensively all day long. You could say the reason WKU is ranked so low offensively is in part to UT shutting them down, that plays a role in their ranking. Same can be said for other teams.... You really can't use those rankings after the fact because UT played a part in them being ranked that low. There are many arguments for that back and forth.

You could argue that Auburn has let Louisiana Tech score 13, Miss St score 24, WVU scored 30 and BALL STATE scored 30 on em. Ball St only scored 10 on North Texas, 16 on New Hampshire, 17 on Army, and 30 on Auburn..... So what does that say about Auburn's D....

Either way we have had a tough run as of late beating Auburn...hopefully that changes Saturday

25 years and counting.......

All joking aside they should have won a couple in the past few years but just couldn't do it.
