re: Is there any way we could lose to Auburn?

This is the SEC, of course. The good thing about Les is that he doesn't lose many he should win.

There was a chance we would have lost to Kent.

Is there any way we could lose to Auburn?


Auburn is still a thin program without much talent. We all know we will win. But, is there an angle for Auburn to pull off what could be the biggest upset in Auburn's history?

Of course it's possible to lose to Auburn. First, there's the obvious: we make a bunch of turnovers and mistakes and give the game away. But also, there's a chance without that. Maybe Malzahn's spread offense fools our young, inexperienced defensive players and they score a lot of points and beat us in a shootout. Maybe Mett has an off day and our offense doesn't do well. Maybe the wet conditions turn the game into a sloppy quagmire and anybody can win.

That said, it's more likely that we win because we have better players across the board.

yes, their offense manages to find and exploit the holes in our defense, our offense sputters due to dropped passes and penalties, Auburn's d-line has the game of their life and effectively shuts down our running game late in the game, an LSU turnover converted for a TD by Auburn at a pivitol moment could change everything.

It's a long shot but far from impossible. What Auburn did to LSU last year was far less probably than them actually winning it this year.
