you obviously didn't see them play arkansas. this is newton's first year starting at au and he's gotten better every game. against arky, he looked like a world beater at passing, much less running. he is not rated hi enough IMHO. we will need to contain him most of the time (probably as good as can be done) to have a chance to win.

Newton has been nothing less than spectacular when you look at his performance throughout the season. He has also gotten better as the season has gone along. I however am a firm believer that a defense as good as ours can take a player like that and make him look nothing better than average. Here is to hoping our defense is up to the challenge.

Honestly, I am terrified of playing him this weekend but our D should be up to it. I get the feeling that he has been acquiring a sense of invincibility the past few games(body language etc.) and the time is right for a letdown.

I think the kid is good and has talent but he really has not faced a tough defense yet. Much less a good defense against the run. You can say South Carolina but they are hit or miss. Miss St is no where near the defensive talent we are and they shut him down. In fact you can beat Auburn without taking him out of the game, Just contain him enough to make him rely more on passing than running and you take away from Auburn.

Spy him and mix in run blitz against him and you hamper their offense.

Auburn doesn't have a passing game. Even against Arkansas horrible pass D he didn't have that many passing yards. In

We have no passing game either for the most part.

And he didn't need passing yards against Arkansas because he ran over their faces. 65 points...

Their D is crappy though. Our D is great.

If we don't turn it over and have a decent passing day, we should have a fair chance at winning.

What tough defense has he played? The toughest D they played was moo state and you saw how close that was. Believe it or not our offense is better than moo state's. Im looking at a 30-10 LSU victory. Auburn doesn't have a passing game. Even against Arkansas horrible pass D he didn't have that many passing yards. In fact, one call in the first half goes arkansas way arkansas wins without Mellet.

He's legit, man.

You can saw that about our defense too. This game will be close if we have JJ playing.
