Thoughts on 3-0 Auburn?

I am not going to allow myself to become overconfident about the Auburn game, but I think we will be able to move the ball on the ground against them. Their defense is subpar, at best.

Auburn has played a soft schedule and all at home. The TN game will be their first road trip, so we will see what they have.

I believe that Auburn is better than ucla maybe not on defense but on offense and overall they are a better team then ucla. this game really scares me because we will beat ohio and be at 2-2 and with a win over auburn we can get right on track..And yeah we play at home but is neyland stadium even that big of deal anymore to opposing teams...I want to get back what we had in neyland stadium that can start with whipping auburn LETS GO BIG ORANGE

Neyland Stadium is on its way back to being crazy for teams to play in, it will get worse once we get better....Auburn will be a big step for the SEC season....If UF puts forth the effort they did against us yesterday against a team with some offensvie fire power they may get upset and we could be sitting pretty...But we got to have better QB play so we will see what happens....Don't think it will but you never know

Given some of the things that happened with AU football before the season even started, I'm really surprised at how well they've done. WV gave them the game last night though via turnovers. If they had taken care of the ball AU would have lost. Malzahn has been very smart in using the athletism of Burns. I thought Burns would be on the bench, but they found a way to make him big contributor. I think AU will have a hard time moving the ball on UT, so I'd say you'll actually be favored by a few points when they head up there in a couple of weeks. Should be an interesting game.

Mark May (in another OBVIOUS shot at UT), called the Auburn head coaching hire the best of the new coaches in the SEC.

I hope to shut his ass up here soon.

so how does this work Hat? I'm not good at math.
Auburn averaging 40+ points per game.
Tennessee one touchdown per game against D-1 opponents.
= Auburn 42, UT 13 (not good)

who has UT played that's not D-1?

Western Kentucky, I'm sorry they we're 2-10 in Div II last year so they decided to move up up to Div I.

In a related story, I've decided to join the PGA Tour.

I agree that Malzahn is good, but I can say without reservation that Monte is much better. That will be the difference, imo.

Mark May being an idiot? :crazy:

My thoughts on Auburn?

It's an empty 3-0. Chizik was still the biggest head-scratcher of a hire this offseason.

Tell you what chief, I'll take UT +28 for any amount you wish to wager.

Finally got a post to get some response!

I do think Gus Malzahn is the total difference for Auburn.

I'm just trying to figure out the laws of physics. Is Auburn going to score less than 40 or are we going to score more than 20. Both scenarios seem impossible. Please Help!

Anyone looking at schedules should have expected Auburn to be 4-0 coming into Knoxville. I think it will be a tight game (but hopefully better than last year), and UT will come out ahead... although I am not expecting a blow out either way. For UT a loss could be a big setback for the season and realistically make it difficult to get to 6-7 wins. A win, on the other hand, builds momentum going into the Georgia game.

A loss for Auburn, likewise, could start a downward spiral. They would still have games at Arkansas, LSU, and Georgia, and some tough home games against Ole Miss and Alabama. Kentucky may also present a challenge at home, so the only easy game left on their schedule is against Furman. So even though they will likely have 4 wins coming into Knoxville, they are likely looking at a 6-7 win season as well.

Malzahan's Offense didn't look to good against UT's Defense in 07

That's all I'm saying. We straight up SHUT down McFadden and Jones.
I have a feeling Monte is prepared for them. Auburn is also atrocious stopping the run. If Bill Stewart leaves Devine in the game last night. AU loses by two touchdowns.

I knew our team would be playing a lot of close, phsyical, defensive ball games this season and I will wager that next season will be the same. Auburn lost one of their top receivers today and CMK will grind them to a standstill. Will not be pretty, but a win is a win.
