I was totally oblivious to how weak AU's schedule was thus far. Miss State is by far their toughest opponent thus far besides us. The West Va win is not that much to sniff at considering they struggled with Liberty and a down ECU team. Ball State is 0-4 against some horrible competition including Army. Then you have La Tech who lost by 18 points to Navy and beat Nicholls State.
I'm not going to even contemplate how bad their opponents' defenses are, except for Miss State who has a decent D.
Flip over to UT and you can argue the only two wins are over weak competition which is very true. Miss State is a better win than any we have but we have faced a much better D than any that Auburn has thus far in UF. UCLA's D is the real deal as well. Their D line played better against us than UF's D-line. Laugh all you want, but that Pac-10 team can play some D.
In closing, AU's offense is vastly improved, but they haven't played anything close to what they will see on defense this Saturday and it's a road game at night time in Neyland. Not too mention their skill players are all young. It will be very interesting how they respond to getting smacked in the mouth. The only thing that really bugs me about this game is we will either have a true freshman starting in place of Reveitz at middle LB or a third stringer. That should really help AU's running game.
I see no way AU's offense will see the filed much this weekend. Ball State scored 30 on their D. Ball State! Western Kentucky would stand a good shot against Ball State.
I predict we will by three TDs and then have to come back to earth again when a much better UGA team rolls into town.
We should run for at least 350 yards this game while completely negating their ground game.
