Fluke? Home field advantage? Talent? Scheme? How do you explain it?

It seemed like Auburn ran the same play (zone read?) over-n-over-again and rarely without success.

I know, someone will ask 'how did we get it done vs Auburn and Bama didn't'? Idea for another thread.

We have the same philosophy as BAMA, but they're better at it.
Auburn does stuff that BAMA isn't comfortable with.

Scrambling QBs give them fits. JJ, Cam, JM, and now Marshall.

Auburn's defense provided more than a speed bump for the last 3 quarters of the game.

Saban historically has had more problems with spread offenses.

Auburn played great run defense up the middle. Their defense just won more battles than Bama's offensive line.

LSU ran all over Auburn and, along with the passing game, out produced their one dimensional offense.

AU is better than LSU right now. They did run the same play over and over, but when that play presents a defense with three different options to defend every time it can be tough to stop. Plus they go at a pace which makes it impossible to substitute. Just a hard offense to defend.

Also, AU's DL is solid and deep. But the biggest thing may be (just like vs. LSU in 2011) Bama failed to make FGs and kept AU in it

1.) More emotion. Rivalry games in college are just different.
2.) It's a gimmick offense. Saban almost always has trouble with teams that do more than just line up and pound the ball with a little play action mixed in.
3.) Bama really outplayed them for most of that game. Saban made a few terrible coaching mistakes and their kicker shite the bed.

How did we get it done vs auburn when bama couldn't? How did we throttle A&M while bama couldn't? Hindsight, brah. This is college football.

Home field, Mobile QB, shitty coaching on Saban's part.

Auburn dominated the line of scrimmage. We didn't.

this. we came out the gates ready to dominate Bama

some balls bounced the wrong way, made a few mistakes, and we got behind and couldn't recover.
