The only thing we know about these two teams is this:

Aggy
UCLA had no business being ranked. Aggy got on top of them but could not put the game away. It is a problem that could be the story of this season for Aggy.

The PVAMU game demonstrated that the defense is "improved" from the week before, maybe, but it's still hard to tell, given the inferiority of the opponent. The offense (Knight) struggled to get into a rhythm. If that happens at Jordan Hare, we are toast, period.

Aubie
Clemson seems to be a legit team. Auburn was in the game until the final tick.

Arky State does not appear to be a very good team, getting spanked hard by Toledo last week, which makes this game mean about as much as A&M's game against PVAMU.

Keys to Victory
For Aggy, the key is to get in an offensive rhythm early. Get on the board in the 1st Quarter to allow a balanced attack throughout the rest of the game. Aggy must also have no glaring weakness in any phase of the defense. If the run starts working for Auburn like it did for so many of Aggy opponents last year, the game is over. Auburn will force Aggy to sell out to stop the run, leaving somebody wide open.

Auburn has the ability to cram the ball right down Aggy's throat and open up other phases of the offense. They should heavily test the Aggy D on the ground. On defense, Auburn needs to rattle Knight. He is not as poised as we wanted him to be, and if he starts getting happy feet, the mistakes will start to pile up. Stop the run and harass Knight.

Prediction:
Aggy faced a soft UCLA team with a weak rushing attack. Auburn plays "big boy" football with bigger, stronger players. Auburn will be able to run on Aggy like last year, and Aggy will have no answer for it. Auburn puts on a clinic on how to beat Aggy that everybody else uses.

This game is the nail in Aggy's overrated coffin. Aggy struggles to reach bowl eligibility.


I hope I am wrong. I just know how motherfricking Aggy football works. There is no reason to suspect that this season will be any different than the past 60 years.

frick all of you. Die in a Goddamn fire.
