Why I am optimistic about Saturday


Sep 7, 2017, 2:21 PM

Fundamentals

That is about the tightest I have seen a tiger team game one

Special teams, covering up the ball, all the right behaviors

Play solid fundamental ball and let Auburn make the boo boos

Mine:

We have the better QB

We have better overall talent (as shown in other threads)

We have the best kicker in the country

We'll be balanced on offense and unpredictable unlike the last 3 years.



Clemson's strength is their DL .... AU has one of the best OL in the SEC

Auburn's streth on offense will be Stidham passing on a YOUNG Clemson secondary.

you keep saying these things


Sep 7, 2017, 3:34 PM

but your QB didn't look that good to me on Saturday (happy feet and some bad throws) and your oline allowed him to get his neck cracked backwards on one play and caused him distress on others. Its one thing to pump up your team but its another to be delusional.

Add to that the "best kicker in the nation" shanking two.***

GO TIGERS!!


From what I hear... every SEC team claims they have the best


Sep 7, 2017, 3:35 PM [ in reply to Re: Why I am optimistic about Saturday ]

or one of the best O-Lines in the SEC. And this week people are saying Bentley at USUC is the best QB. If that is true, Auburn's must be sorry.

Dude, you're off base on several items:

1) You cannot in any way definitively say you have the better QB.
2) You cannot definitively say you have better overall talent (this cannot be accomplished by Rivals recruiting rankings)
3) Y'all kick FGs, we'll score TDs.
4) You don't think we will be balanced and unpredictable on offense? We have two of the brightest offensive minds running the show that kept Alabama on their toes and wore them down.
5) Alabama had a better O-line, and our same D-line fared pretty well. You are also wrong in that our strength is our defense, as a whole. We also have a talented and experienced offensive line.

Where do you get our secondary is young? 2/4 were starters last year and the younger guys that play had experience last year as well.

If y'all are this #### good maybe we shouldn't even show up lol.

Your QB has only played High School defenses and should've had more turnovers than he did last weekend, your team hasn't been there or done that ours has WITH our current players, we have the better head coach, we have the better coordinators, your OL being the best in the SEC didn't look pretty against Georgia Southern, and we're at home in front of the best crowd in the country (yes i've been to Auburn games at Auburn) our CURRENT OL did hold Alabama back but yours couldn't.... I enjoy a good argument but you're so easily proven wrong it's not fun. I hope it's a great game though. PS this young secondary that'll be taken advantage of you say, is the biggest and fastest we've had in a while. Best of luck.

I think Monster strikes again...

Why hasn't that showed in your prior season results? Here's another little one..why is Gus' job in question this season? And finally. We've only lost 2 since 19/14...

Keep growing Rose Bush, keep bullshittingyourself.

I've been wrong two times, but this isn't one of them.

Our O has way more talent than Auburn's. Now they D going by recruiting rankings is pretty even maybe a slight edge to Auburn but the difference is our DL beat Alabama for the Natty while those returning for Auburn lost to Bama and to Oklahoma in a bowl game.

I watched a condensed version of the Auburn-GSU game, and Auburn's QB did not look good to me. Threw some wobbly balls and the WR's made some catches that don't get made most of the time. He did not look confident to me.

Unless Auburn get some big runs from the RBs, I think Clemson will win comfortably.

Your "Better QB" hasn't played any top defenses in his college career. He may be incredible, but who knows? We'll find out Saturday what he's got. (Same with our qb who happens to be a heckuva runner as well)

Your OL may be good, but so is ours. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-footballs-top-50-offensive-lines-2017

Better overall talent? How do you come to that conclusion? Both teams are loaded with 4/5 stars. I would say we're pretty equal there (at least based on recruiting rankings). We're loaded with talent at every single position on the field. I would venture to say top 10 talent in the country at darn near every position. I know Auburn has plenty of good players of their own, but even if you had the #1 player at every position (which you don't), that still is a very fine line between a top 10 guy and a #1 guy. We've beaten a lot of teams that we were told would beat us on paper.

I agree with you that it will likely be a close game (within 10 points). I think it will be a defensive battle and a great game. I also think that my Clemson Tigers will prevail 24-21, but I could also see it going the other way similar to your prediction.

Come join the conversation, I love talking about the game with other fans. That said, please stop stating your opinions as facts. It doesn't look good on you (or anyone).

You lost me at "better QB". I am amazed at how much


Sep 7, 2017, 4:58 PM [ in reply to Re: Why I am optimistic about Saturday ]

faith Auburn fans are putting in a guy that played a few games at Baylor, lost to the only top 50 defense he's faced, and didn't make it through the next game. He's in his first year in a new system, on the road, at night, in front of a VERY loud crowd and against a top 10 defense and the best D-Line he will have ever seen. And if he gets banged up, who do you have?

Our QB is playing at home, has been in the system 3.5 years, is mobile, and beat out some darned good QBs that have just as much if not more time on our campus as your QB has on your campus.

Should be fun!

Stidham has NEVER played against a REAL defense


Sep 7, 2017, 5:03 PM [ in reply to Re: Why I am optimistic about Saturday ]

Stidham was barely ranked above Bryant by Rivals coming out of HS,last year Stidham was on his own ,while KB2 was in his 2nd year of learning from Streeter and DW4. Game ,Set, Match !
