AUB / ARK
- Thread starter BuffaloBill
- Start date
I love AU and love to bet on them yet I would lay off this one. As all of you AU fans and SEC cappers know, Arkansas always plays us tight. I know USC beat the sh*t out of Arky but that was earlier in the year. Tubs will once again get a lead and sit on the ball 2nd half. With UF coming to town next week AU is already setting up their gameplan. AU/UF game will be the showcase game for AU to prove whether or not they are the real deal. My play for the game will be AU 1st half. Possibly the under.:SIB Good luck to all this weekend. One more thing, FSU will end Amatos career at NC State tommorrow night.
If USC's 50-14 win over Arky is relevent in this game, how do you compare the 40-14 AU win over Wash State with USC's near miss last week?

damn good question there !:142smilie :142smilie
Washington St. @ Auburn
USC @ Washington St.
Wasn't USC only starting 5 returning starters from last years team against WSU? :scared On top of that, missing their #1 offensive weapon (WR Jarret) and #1 defensive player (DT ELLIS)? Give WSU credit they deserve. They played great football on Sat. ZERO mistakes and QB was on target. Unfortunately, it wasn't good enough.
USC @ Arkansas
Arkansas @ Auburn
You are delusional if you compare playing @home vs playing on the road. In both examples, USC without a doubt has had the tougher task.
How will it look if USC went to Arkansas with brand new QB or a brand new team for that matter and win 50-14 to open the season, vs Arkansas traveling to Auburn and giving Auburn a scare? The week after crappy South Carolina gave AU a scare? (game was @S.Carolina so thats explains some things) Auburn will never jump USC. They need a big win and IMO will get it. AU needs to start making statements that they deserve to be ranked ahead of USC. Scoring 7pts against LSU @home, looking flat vs Buffalo, and struggling @South Carolina will not get it done. Arkansas should be and will be a statement game. Of all teams that would understand this is AU who was left out 2 years ago.
Lastly, USC right now would have tough time beating Auburn, LSU, FL, and maybe even TN on a NEUTRAL field. So I am not saying or implying USC is superior than any of those teams at the moment. If USC went to Arky and won by 36pts with Arky having huge revenge on their side, I think AU can win by 20+. USC was not fortunate to face the freshman QB Mustain. He lead TD drive against USC 2nd string D and followed that up with a bad INT against USC 2nd string D. Lets see what he does on the road against Auburn 1st string D and more importantly, JORDAN HAIR STADIUM! Playing at home and on the road @Vandy will not be anything like playing on the road @AU with AU's defense gunning at you. :bigun:

WSU had zero mistakes vs USC? I watched like 10 minutes of the game and saw SC backed up on their 1 being up by 2, and were on 2nd or 3rd down and WSU were whistled for soe penalty that baled out the trojans big time. I was about 50 ft away at a craps table at the time so im sorry if im short on specifics, but I find it hard to believe that WSU had zero mistakes.
Point well taken about au and tend to aagree that au rolls in this one.
