Just wanted to throw some thoughts out there...
Full disclosure, i am an auburn fan, but will try to be as unbiased as i can be.
The talking heads want to say Auburn is team of destiny b/c of UGA and Bama games. Just want to remind people that Auburn dominated UGA for 50 minutes then fell asleep already thinking about the Iron Bowl. But yeah, they did have to have a prayer answered and then stop Murray from driving down and winning the game.
Bama game was not Great Nicks best coaching day. Going for it on 4th down not choosing the FG, misssing FG's, then electing for a long FG only to have it returned. Give credit to Auburn though, they were down 14-17 near the half and kept grinding away.
Mizz game, the D kept the bend but dont break defense scheme. Like they did against A&M, the D kept it around the allow the offense to roll and come up with the one stop when needed.
My worry about FSU...The big WR's they have. Auburn was burned by Mizz, then they elected to start blitzing Franklin with some success. Can Auburn get pressure on Winston from the edge? Is it just me or does Winston have a long motion that they use to crucify Tebow about?? He brings the ball down below his waist when he loads up....will that allow more time for the rushers??
I want to see how Winston plays when he is not up 35+ late in the game and maybe we wont get the chance to see it cause they blow Auburn out like they have everyone else. But if it is tight late, does he make the big play on the big stage?
How does a FSU defense handle playing an offense that is not Syracuse, BC, Duke, Miami, etc?? Can Auburn OLine take over or will the FSU DLine be just as physical??
I know people think that Marshall cannot pass, but the kid has a great arm, maybe not as accurate as most, but he can make the throws. So if FSU d stops the run, i do not think that it is completely over for Auburn to have to rely on Marshall arm. I would not be crazy about having to see him throw a lot but he can make throws. I would point out a throw he made against Mizz on the run that was pretty impressive. Was the TD pass in the first half.
Auburn D line will probably keep the rotation going and they are deep on the line. Will keep them fresh, like it D against A&M.
I think it will be a great game, just hoping it does not have the same ending as last years "team of destiny" who was embarrassed by Bama.
