For the 3rd straight week, AU doesn’t garner 100 yards on the ground and giving up an astounding 353 yards rushing to Miss St, a team whose offense has been nonexistent. Last three games and ypc is still way down and just over 3 ypc for the year against P5 teams.

Follow the layout that LSU has set and follow MSU’s layout of offense, TN wins Saturday and the wheels fall off (two already have) of Auburn. Can’t help their recruiting either...

Don't worry, those issues will be corrected this week. Their DL will look like a solid brick wall that Helton will continuously calls HB iso's into all night and their offense will improve leaps and bounds when their OL opens up gaping holes and their running backs will use a new ground breaking move call the cutback.

Were not on the same level LSU and MSU are. Add to the fact that they lost last night and we’ll be facing a focused and angry Auburn team. Anything can happen but I wouldn’t bet on it.

We could be facing an angry auburn team or we could be facing an Auburn team that is ready to pack it in for the season since their goals are out the window. We will see.

My fear isn’t the usual Tennessee scenario.

After the game, there are suddenly dark horse contenders for the Heisman and Outland trophies, and they are not wearing a T on their helmet.

Auburn will be focused. We do not have the talent MISS ST currently has. The game is at the Barn. Gus will need to get the fans back on the Gus Bus, so if he gets a chance too, he will run the score up. All these things do not make me fell very good about the upcoming game.

I just think it’s ways more likely Auburn will be uninterested than they will be “focused”.

That being said, I’m still not sure we can beat a sleep walking Auburn team lol

Don’t overlook MSU’s rushing ability.

Going into the Auburn game they were 1st in the SEC in yards per carry at around 6 ypc. But they were LAST in carries... in other words, their offense hadn’t performed well because the coaches weren’t running the ball enough. They committed to the run against Auburn and the results speak for themselves. Their success wasn’t the result of facing a bad run defense

No, not buying it.

Another poster earlier started a thread that I believe is spot on. MSU is a physical team with a running QB. Tennessee is not built that way.

The 2 teams I think Tennessee matches up with best remaining on the schedule are Vandy and South Carolina. Missouri scores too much. Kentucky is too physical.

Surely you realize that Fitzgerald,a 5th year senior was running the RPO to perfection behind a good OLine. UT may have success in slowing down Auburn's offense for 3 1/2 qtrs and keeping game within reach. I can't see UT having much success on offense though. Auburn has a stout defense and will likely swarm JG. Roll-outs, screens, play-action, mis-direction would help UT IMO if they ever utilized such plays which they seldom do. I'm personally tired of seeing our runners getting behind the chains every 3 and out series. UT is predictable also. I guess we may as well get used to it. CJP has to establish his "power run game" 1st and foremost and no telling how long that's gonna take. That's about as old school as it get's.

Auburn is agressive team that fights for 4 quarters. We dont. Auburn has more talent. Look for a coming out party for them. It might be false hope for the rest of their season, but one quarter of fight that we might show wont be enough.
I believe we are on equal footing with miss st, talent wise, but nowhere near as aggressive and hard hitting. We dont gameplan to be that way and capitalize on our strentghes. To be honest I dont know if anyone knows what we do.
So while I think we have a fighting chance against Auburn, we havent shown the ability to sustain a fight with anyone. So sadly it will be another week of much the same, another beatdowm with folks clamoring to a quarter or so of fight with no tangible result.

We had a fair shot and blew it by allowing 6 turnovers. Sure they worked for them, but 6, that’s enough to lose 6 games.

It does prove they are beatable by a team that’s not considered top of the food chain.

If there's a way for us to get out to early 2 score lead (monstrous IF), I think the crowd could turn, and it could actually get ugly for them. That being said, it's day 7 after us getting shellacked by UGA, and follows my typical model of finding ways to rationalize ways that UT gets a SEC win...ha
