#1 Reason why Auburn EASILY covers tonight.....

Question

FSU&#x27;s rushing defense ranked 3rd in the ACC.  Teams weren&#x27;t even rushing against FSU because they had to pass to catch up but FSU only ranked 3rd in the ACC??Alabama and Missouri ranked #1 and #2 in rushing defense in the ENTIRE COUNTRY before Auburn (Missouri dropped to #9 after Auburn).  Auburn ran for over 900 yards combined against those two teams.FSU faced one Heisman Trophy candidate running back this year and got rung up for over 200 yards rushing and gave up over 30 points.FSU&#x27;s rushing defense will get exposed tonight.Auburn may not win but they will EASILY cover

I&#x27;m 14-0 in college since Jan 1 and my last pick was Flor St(-8) on the parlay card......

imaxfli · Answer

When you are up big your second stringers play and yes, other team runs the ball.

TimTowner · Answer

As a typical FSU backer, you are just going to ignore what BCU and their Heisman-candidate running back did to FSU, right?

Yessir auburn baby

thorpe · Answer

What is "BCU"?  Boston College University?

TimTowner · Answer

Are you seriously going to point out a grammatical mistake over the whole argument?  Geez.  My bad with BCU

thorpe · Answer

FSU gave up 1500 yards rushing on the year, and 950 of those yards were when they were winning by 15&#x2B; points.

TimTowner · Answer

Man, FSU backers come up with creative ways to just look past any signs of weakness.Are you also going to ignore the stats BC put up (points and rushing yards) against FSU?

XLR8 · Answer

What the hell was that last sentence? So Auburn might not win but cover easily????What confidence on your own team?Your team will get destroyed tonight.Noles roll 48-17

TimTowner · Answer

Winning and covering are two different things.  I am very confident they will cover.You are very confident FSU rolls.We agree to disagree

Pretty divided forum on this game tonight...should be a good one to watch.

Shocked that this line keeps going up, will sprinkle more on Auburn ML later tonight.

Here is what I find interesting, which I dont understand people for backing FSU....

FSU offense is very good, no reason to even bring that up. But, they faced no good defenses with 0 pass rush in almost every game they played.

However, I think the FSU defense is VERY overrated. Here is why:

First, FSU played ZERO teams in the top 10 in overall offense this year. Clemson ranked 13th this year and the next best was Miami which ranks 43rd......pretty pathetic.

But, what makes me believe Aub will have no problem scoring is FSU against the run. Here are the breakdowns of teams running the ball against FSU this year, taking away the sacks. After the runs in the game, I have included the rushing rank for that team in college football.

Pitt 22 rushes 123 yds 5.6 ave ranked 102nd in nation

BC 36 rushes 196 yds 5.4 ave ranked 23rd in nation

Mary 14 rushes 16 yds

Clem 27 rushes 115yds 4.3 ave ranked 52 in nation

Nc St 31 rushes 129 yds 4.2 ave ranked 75th in nation

Miami 26 rushes 101 yds 3.9 ave

Wake 36 rushes 109 yds 3.1 ave

Cuse 43 rushes 157 yds 3.7 ave ranked 37 in nation

Flor 18 rushes 83 yds 4.6 ave

Duke 28 rushes for 104 3.7 ave

Teams really had no issue what so ever running the ball on this team.

Now you have an Auburn team that is coming off 52 for 296 against Bama and 74 for 545 against Mizzu and the best running game.

Auburn is going to run the ball 50+ times....FSU has stopped the run against only Maryland, Wake and Miami this year. Every other team had no issue running the ball at all.

I just feel this FSU defense is very very overrated, as they have played 1 decent offense all year

thorpe · Answer

I&#x27;m not a FSU backer.BC got shut down in the second half.Auburn only ran for 120 yards vs Miss St.  Are you going to ignore that?Ans that was a legit question about BCU because Florida St played Bethune Cookman University this year.

HutchEmAll · Answer

No mention of the FSU offense and Auburn defense.  Interesting.

kimoinsd808 · Answer

No use arguing with FSU backers.  They&#x27;ve had it in their minds that this was going to be a blowout since the day the matchup was announced.Just put in that Auburn ML bet, sit back, enjoy the game and feel like a genius as you cash that ticket tonight.

TimTowner · Answer

Auburn won&#x27;t stop FSU&#x27;s offense but FSU won&#x27;t stop Auburn&#x27;s offense.Only turnovers will hurt either offense.Auburn covers.

TimTowner · Answer

I don&#x27;t have an argument for that game.  It happened.  But MSU&#x27;s defense is better than any defense FSU faced all year.

sunnny · Answer

thorpe · Answer

So, if you are an Auburn homer, you can ignore any game you want.  But FSU backers can&#x27;t.  Thanks for clearing that up

[/Quote]Well, Auburn hardly passes in games so there is no use bringing up FSU&#x27;s pass defense.And yes, I think bringing up the fact that FSU played one rushing team all year and gave up 200 yards and 30&#x2B; points.  The rest of the games were against cupcake rushing teams.Most any SEC team playing in the ACC would&#x27;ve had the #1 rushing defense.

that about sums it  up
