What's this "Great Auburn defense" talk all about?

They're tied at #32 in Yds/game with.. you guessed it - LSU.
They have a worse pass defense than us and a slightly better rush defense.
Offense:
#3 LSU @ 57.8 pts/game
#36 Auburn @38 pts/game
55-24 LSU
ETA: before you get all flustered, my point is that Auburn's defense isn't "great" - which is the word going around.
These are great defenses:
2011 LSU
2011 Bama
2004 Auburn
2009 Bama

They probably have the best defensive line in the country. They can give anyone fits. Our O line will have to be on their A game.
Posted on 9/29/19 at 8:29 am to BentonTiger7
Yep. They have a few game changers on that line
Posted on 9/29/19 at 8:29 am to TchPowDog
Their defensive line is pretty damn good and cause for concern

They can win this game, if for no other reason...they're Auburn...not some panty-waisted Sisters of the Poor.
They're D is legit.

Good thing we won’t be running the toss dive 50 times.
Posted on 9/29/19 at 8:37 am to TigahTeeth
I agree. Good thing. We do need to protect Burrow and have some success running. Won’t be easy but I’ll do my best

Their rush defense is almost identical to ours - so that's a push.
Sacks:
Auburn DL has 9 sacks through 5 games - 1.8 sacks/game
LSU DL has 4.5 sacks through 4 games - 1.125 sacks/game
LSU has started 2nd string DL in half their games.
I don't see how they're much better than ours...

That's a rather significant statistical difference...not sure how that works out to a push.

D - line is good but they can and will be had by the Burreaux train.

They have a couple of difference makers on the D-line but their pass defense is suspect. I don't expect them to stay with our receivers. Even though Nix is pretty good, I don't expect a freshman QB to come into Tiger Stadium and have a good game.
Posted on 9/29/19 at 8:48 am to TchPowDog
Their DL would all start over ours
Posted on 9/29/19 at 8:57 am to TchPowDog
You can throw out all the stats you want but if you watch their games you can see how good they are.
Posted on 9/29/19 at 8:58 am to Clark W Griswold
As much as I hate to say it, right now, this is correct.
I think we beat them, but this game won't be easy, especially with our soft defense.

Their front 7 looks like the best in the country right now, but their secondary is average at best. They haven't faced a prolific passing team yet, IMO. If LSU, Georgia, and Bama can protect the QB, they will light Auburn up.

I don't think most fans on here watch the other teams play. It's pathetic

You have time to watch every game? Now, that would be pathetic.

I think our oline will do well against auburn. We are more solid in the middle. Its those speed demons at Fl on the ends that I'm worried about.

I said their rush defense is identical to ours. Ya know, as in stopping the run. I didn't provide stats for rush defense.

Yeah that's going to be a bitch. I'm sure Brady and Ensminger will come up with something. Grantham is going to send dudes after Joe every play.
