Getting the ball out quick and attacking the db's for Auburn will be key. Auburn's front 7 are good but the back 4 is the weak spot.

I told a coworker of mine the same thing, have Charles seal the inside and let him get up the field and run where he came from. Use his aggressiveness against him and I'd have Emery as rb, he hits the hole a little faster.

I have a feeling that we’re going to see an uptick in Burrow getting yards on the ground.

The florida db’s are solid and we can make them pay by letting Burrow get some yards on the ground.

Otherwise, I think we’ll see more from our Running game.

We saw a taste against Utah and the time of possession ticked way up. I expect we’ll see more of that

I think a big part of our offense is running Joe to the favorable side following the back as a lead blocker. It worked really well last year and we haven’t used it this year. I think we’ve been saving it.

We need to commit to the run enough to have a somewhat balanced offense. Florida's defense and DC are good enough that we can't be too predictable. Timing of play calls will be critical. We need to run some when they are thinking pass and pass when they think run. Long ball will work against their aggressive D if we call them at right time. I know that sounds like a captain obvious thing, but think it will be a chess match of a strong O vs a strong D. On the other side, I think our D matches up well with them if Lawrence and Chaisson are healthy and play most of the game.

According to Andy Staples of The Athletic, Florida only rushed more than 4 against Auburn 2 of 61 plays. I look for Grantham to employ similar strategy against LSU. Try to get pressure with 4 and have 8 in pass coverage (Utah State did this a lot against LSU, although mostly ineffective). According to Staples, Grantham is blitzing less this year because of his confidence in the secondary to win one on one matchups. As a result, we may see more of an LSU run/pass balance against Florida like we did against Utah State.
