Auburn isn't as good as many think

They've played two teams worth their weight so far this season in Clemson and Moo St. Clemson shut down their offense and sacked Stidham a million times and State seppuku'd themselves at Jerden Hair.
They have some nice defensive linemen. Their LBs tackle well. They have a nice RB. Their OL is above average. Their QB has a nice arm.
But they're not anywhere near as good as they want you to believe. Their QB panics when his first read isn't there. Their OL average against a DL with a pulse. Their receiving corps is nothing special. Their RB, Kerryon Johnson, is nice but needs gaping holes to get anything going.
Their DL has some studs in Derrick Brown, Marlon Davidson, and Jeff Holland and they'll make a lot of plays but they can be neutralized if you force them to read instead of attack.
Their LB corps tackles well but there's no Devin White or Kendell Beckwith in the group. They've looked so good thus far because their DL has been dominating inferior opponents.
Their secondary is absolute garbage and LSU has the receiver talent to beat them over the top consistently. Getting the ball to the good guys is a different question though. Auburn crowds 5-10 yards beyond the LOS to shut down the short routes and trusts their DL to pressure the QB.
The bottom line is that this Auburn team is good but not great. Their biggest advantage is their DL over the LSU OL and I expect Canada to use a lot of misdirection in attempts to get their front out of position. All of LSU's ball carriers will need to lower their heads and grind for yards in this one as they'll be selling out to stop the run. Guice and Williams will need to be battering rams.
The LSU defense should be okay as long as they fit well and tackle early. When Kerryon Johnson gets going it's hard to stop him and you'll see what you saw with Florida's Malik Davis. Stidham isn't anything special and if DBU can shut down his primary reads it'll be a long day for him.
I expect a close game that can go either way. There's no way in hell Auburn is going to blow out LSU at home. This is a completely different team than the one we saw the first five weeks. Leaders have stepped up and our guys are playing with their balls out now. We need to show up early and loud and stay for 4 quarters. Auburn is a first half team and if they don't get the ball rolling early they will fold.

Wasn't Malzahn on the hotseat last year? What turned it around other than the new QB?

Yeah, but LSU isn't good at all.
isn't as good >>> not good at all

Maybe he's hoping to give the Auburn team some bulletin board material?

His seat is still warm. If they lose this weekend they'll want to fire him again. They've been fortunate to play some crappy teams so far and one of the teams they played that was worth a damn killed themselves all game long.

They may not be a top 5 team but they definitely rank in the top 10. It will take Auburn to turn the ball over multiple times and we have to play mistake free.im not gona say it won't happen but it will be a big upset.
Posted on 10/10/17 at 12:33 pm to rmnldr
I agree, to an extent. I don't think they're top 10, more like top 20-25. I think they lose to Bama, UGA and possibly at aTm.
All that said they are still better than LSU.

No. Just no. Every fan and sports commentator says this. It's just not true. Both teams are talented and both are just now hitting their stride. Either team can win a clean game without needing gifts.

Based on their résumé I guess? They're top 10 in talent as well as LSU.

Thanks for saying/explaining Auburn isnt that good cause I been on my knees praying and now I can relax and just bite my nails till kickoff

And then went into the swamp and beat a ranked Florida team. And it should've been worse.

Auburn IS that good, and they can beat LSU by 30+ if they're on their game. This very week last year they blasted Arkansas 3-56!
