So LSU needed a Miracle to beat the 84th ranked offense/75th ranked defense and they are going to dominate the 6th ranked offense/63rd ranked Defense....


We were negative 4 in the turnover margin in that game

We had exactly double the yards that Tenn had

Don't expect us to gift wrap the game for you guys in the same fashion

Why not? Didn't we do that in EACH of the opast 3 games? We are terrible at turning the ball over and nearly as horrible getting penalties.

43rd in rushing defense prior to that game.

So, that outcome was not unexpected.


And 83rd afterwards. I'm sorry but that is impressive.

auburn is 68 in penalties so that is basically a wash. Auburn is 30th in turnover margin. They got a gift though from the backup for arkansas and a phantom fumble.

We are 60 and the tennessee game was flat out disastrous to our stats

i don't know guys. You throw all this in a bowl and add disrespect by the media and all thier fans and the overconfidence of how auburn must be feeling after whooping up the horrible arky d and stick all that in the oven. And come out with some really yummy arse whoopin

Yeah, and AU's total def went from 40th to 63rd after that game. Arkansas put almost as many yards passing on AU as AU put rushing yards on them. Would have been a much closer game if the fat Hogs hadn't been gassed in the 4th.

Let's also not forget that being on the road is easier for defense because they can communicate better because they don't have to deal with crowd noise.
