Now that LSU has seen both Auburn and Alabama "up close and personal," what do you envision for next week's Iron Bowl? Looks to me that LSU had good momentum when they were able to run the ball against Bama.... and against Auburn too. Will Auburn be able to run the ball against Bama's "#1 Rushing D" ? I think so. This may be a good one for the bettors among us, but Bama will be higher than a kite for this one
The biggest difference in LSU and Auburn will be Campbell, which is quite obviously a much different take than I had going into this season. Cambell will actually hit the open recievers that his running game sets up for him. Bama will not have stop Auburn as well as they stopped LSU in the first half and while they will be very emotionally charged so will AU. And the War Eagle defense will play Bama very similar to LSU and hold Bama to -10 points I think. I look for Auburn to win by 20 or more.
Auburn by 17 over Bama. These guys are playing too damn well to let Bama spoil the party. Auburn 20, Alabama 3
Bama is going to give you a game. They're much further along in their reconstruction than anybody expected. But their QB, although talented, lacks game experience. Their defense is tough but seemed to run out of gas in the 4th quarter. Auburn by three scores.
I think this year's Iron Bowl will be one-sided. I think Auburn will run effectively (I'll give 'Bama's defense some credit--their LB's and D-linemen are impressive) and look for 'Bama to continue to have trouble on offense. Auburn will win it by at least 20.
