    Washington has this one 17-12.

    We create turnovers, stifle their Heisman hopeful QB, malzahn inexplicably goes away from the run which is gashing us, we inexplicably give the ball to Gaskin over and over which wears them out.

    Browning to chin on late 3rd and 5 seels it for us!

    Malzahn goes on Bender and Auburn falls off a cliff.

    AUs DL is 3 deep, they’ll rotate & be fresh in the 4th.

    If you hold the AU team to 12 points, you’ll win the NC.


    Spoiler Alert ....


    You won’t
    Auburn scored 24 against fucking Mercer last year.
    And 26 against Bama. So obviously Mercer's D > Bama's D


    It's a shitload better than just pulling numbers out of your ass. You know as well as the rest of us that playing a team week 1 is a hell of a lot different than playing week 12. "You" played Mercer week 3 last year, which is more relevant to setting an expectation for the UW game than a game played in November.

    Check the thread. I pulled no such numbers out of my very firm and luscious ass.

    Also, we? played Mercer in week 3, right after losing a defensive slugfest at Clemson where the o-line gave up 11 sacks. If you want to look at Week 1, we? scored 41 against Georgia Southern. However, what you're conveniently leaving out is that AU had a QB last year who hadn't played competitive football in nearly two years. So yes, early season adjustments happened last year that I don't expect to see as much of this year which is why you need to look at the end more so than the beginning.

    There's a returning starter at QB, three multi-year starters at WR are back, and the running game has always been Gus's calling card (AU has had 9 straight seasons with a 1,000 rusher). As for defense, dude is right that AU is 9-10 deep on the DL and rotates liberally, so wearing them down isn't likely to happen.

    Said it earlier in the thread that I expect a defensive game with a few big plays on both sides. Don't expect anything more than 24-20 one way or the other.

    And 26 against Bama (who's D is about 3x better than UW) and 40 against UGA in the reg season (who's 2x better than UW) ...

    So, 66 against the two teams that played for the NC

    Wow .... changing my prediction with said stats .....

    Auburn 37
    UW 17


    Look.... I'm not saying your offense won't score any points. I'm not saying that your offense didn't do well last year. I'm not even saying your offense won't do well this year.



    What I am saying, is that unless you're speaking in hyperbole (I'll help since you're from Alabama - exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally), then you're a fucking retard.























































    Alabama's D was not 3x better than UW, and Georgia's D was not 2x better than UW.





    And no, Alabama math doesn't count.







    Lol, these numbers dont mean shit. Georgia and Bama played an SEC schedule. Love the Pac 12, but its a much easier that the schedule they played.

    SEC > Pac12

    SEC defenses > Pac12 defenses.






    But

    Pac 12 offenses > SEC offenses

    hth

    If SEC defenses are better than Pac 12 defenses, you could argue Pac 12 offenses are only more productive because they play weaker defenses on a regular basis. By this logic, a Pac 12 offense could and probably will look pedestrian to that of the SEC.

    unless every argument acknowledges that the SEC plays 8 conference games, not 9, and has an end of season patsie, your argument is invalid.

    it's unfair and not a level playing field. die.
