I am very worried about UF...I feel Consin exposed AU's lack of size,if you are big you can push the line anyway you want.Ark's did this well.Au needs to confuse the O more with blitzing.Now here are my pennys.

Florida outplayed us dude. One punt return got called back because a phantom block in the back. The roughing the passer fiasco never would have happened. Also they would have taken one back but Colquitt tripped him and that is also not alowed and should have been a penalty.

Of course I'm pulling for Auburn in this one. I think coming in Florida definately has the edge, but Auburn has a lot to prove in this one. I say it will be close, but Florida edges Auburn late, probably because of Tebow.

One of the few times I hope I'm wrong, go War Eagle!!!

Auburn beats FL. Auburn took it on the chops and FL is in cruise control.

Will Muschamp(?sp) will have a defense that will confuse Leak/Tebow

I dont think they're going to get confused at all. Theyve already played two tough defensive teams in us and Lsu. Leak is a senior and Tebow has a world of confidence right now.

Florida will be hard to beat this Saturday night, but Auburn may do it. They will be out to prove who they are and Florida has too many hard games looming on its schedule. I can tell you that Tebow is the real deal. He is a super young man and a tremendously gifted young man. He is a super committed Christian kid with a very committed work ethic. If he comes into the game they will probably do better than with Chrissy Leak at quarterback. He is now the better of the two.

Chavis made a serious mistake in playing Harrell in the Florida game. Emotion will only last a half quarter. No way a DT can throw off a center or guard with one arm. In effect when we played them it was 11 vs. 10. I'd like to play them now.

Alabama gave Florida fits and except for turnovers and could and would have upset the Gators. Forget the LSU game. Jamarcus Russell is a choker and a loser.

You mean to say you HOPE Florida loses. Who knows? I sure don't. Florida has been very fortunate so far, but they have taken advantage of other teams' mistakes and minimized their own and that is what football is all about. If they continue to do that, there is no reason they can't win this Saturday. Talent-wise, Gators stack up against anyone. The rest is executing and Florida is well-coached.

:blink: Yeah, Florida is going in there way arrogant and cocky. They'll probably just blow off practicing all together and figure they can coast.

Not.

I feel better about our chances after this past Saturday. Auburn is in a must win situation because Arky has the tiebreaker and if Auburn loses two, that means Arky has to lose two more SEC games down the stretch.

If Florida goes to Auburn and gets their offense rolling early, it will break Auburn's confidence. If Florida starts off as slow as they've been starting, it will bolser Auburn's confidence and likely keep the game close until the end.

I believe Auburn's psyche is fragile - get a TD+ behind early and I don't think they'll recover.

Excellent point and I could nto agree more. When LSU fumbled late in the first half at the one, you could literally see that team deflate. And when they gave up the safety and quick touchdown pass from Tebow, you could just see that they had all the desire and any momentum taken right away from them.

Florida needs to score a couple quick and then frustrate the Auburn D.

Think the game will be a hard fought game from start to finish. Problem for the Gators here is Auburn's back is against the wall. I think the Auburn will get up early and the Gators as in the UT game will have to fight their way back.

That's what worries me the most. Auburn cannot afford to lose two games, with Arky having the tiebreaker. Plus, then they are letting LSU back in it.

We could have a reverse of last year, with one obvious lead team from the SECE (Florida) and then a bunch of 2 and 3 loss teams over in the SECW.

Hopefully a different result this time, of course. LOL.

I think the biggest question of the game is which team's refs will win out? Auburn and Florida have both been the beneficiaries of some questionable officiating (definitely been having more calls go their way than not), and so it will be interesting to see who gets the calls in this one.

i tend to agree with you and No1g8r...one of the keys for Florida is take momentum early and keep it....that could do Auburn in if they are forced to come from behind and not play ball control and defense.

SOmeone posted on here a while back....that Auburn and LSU have built two teams to compete with each other, but as of today, have shown that they may not be capable of competeing week in and week out with the rest of the schedule.

Having said all of that...Auburn and Tommy T are a prideful bunch, and i don't see them laying down.

in and "eb and flow" scenario, i think UF is playing Auburn at the worst possible time. Just as LSU was playing UF at the worst possible time...

UF will be favored, and everone will be talking about Tebow, Leak and the D going in to this, and conversely, talking about how bad Auburn got physically handled by Arkansas...

I expect a much better effort from Auburn this weekend...a big opportunity in primetime as the marquee game for them to regains some respect and get back in the SEC W hunt.

In this game, the things that plague Florida could come back to haunt them...may need a FG at a key time, give up key 1st down on offense or defense on a penalty....

Auburn will have to play an inspired game to win though. Florida's D alone could be enough to stop an Auburn offense that has yet to really get off the ground.

should be a good game in my mind.

How could have Auburn lost that game - really.

Does everyone remember in year 2003 that Auburn was ranked 1st in the country by the AP poll. In the first game they were thrashed by USC. In the second game they lost to Georgia Tech.

At that point Auburn's president and their AD, in secretive fashion, got on the Auburn plane and flew to Louisville to talk to U of L coach Bobby Petrino about replacing Tuberville.

Word got out. Tuberville said that he was embarassed. In the very next game Auburn played Tennessee. They trounced UT and went on about a nineteen+ game win streak.

Somewhere along the way the Auburn officials were embarassed into giving Tuberville a contract extension and a $7.0 million buyout.

I'm sure that Tuberville has never forgotten what Auburn's president and AD did. Basically, they betrayed him.

Tuberville is not exactly a saint himeself. He was head coach at Ole Miss before being named as the Auburn head coach. Just before the announcement was made that he had been appointed as the new Auburn head coach Tuberville made a flat denial to the media that he had any interest in the Auburn job.

I'm sure that the Auburn officials remembered Tuberville lying about his interest in the Auburn job. That's probably one reason they had no respect for him.

Tuberville was a University of Miami assistant back during Miami's (cheating) heydey.

Tommy Tuberville is capable of lying - experience has shown us that. No one would blame him if he had no loyalty to the Auburn officials. I think that it's entirely possible that Tuberville could have thrown the Arkansas game.** (see immediate below)

** Pleae note - there is no proof that Tuberville, or anyone else, shaved points or gave a less than optimal effort in the Auburn-Arkansas game. The supposition is for discussion and entertainment purposes only and does not have any factual basis.

Arkansas should have lost to Vanderbilt. They should have lost to Alabama. Both Alabama and Vanderbilt could have won the game against Arkansas with a makable field goal. Arkansas does not have a very good football team yet they go into Auburn's stadium and whup the Tigers 27-10.

Something seems mighty peculiar.

:wacko:

Speaking of Petrino, I see his name connected to that other school in Alabama every now and then. Probably nothing to it and more wishful thinking/hoping than anything.

Alabama needs to suck it up and play honest for a while - in my opinion.

I think that Mike Shula probably does not cheat. Alabama fans are finding out that winning is not so easy when you have to play by the rules.

Johnny Majors played by the rules and it took him over a decade to start winning.

If you think about it the culture in East Tennessee won't tolerate cheating. North Georgia and the region surrounding the University of Georgia apparently is much the same way.

Conversely Auburn, Alabama, and Florida all have a history of cheating. Their fans apparently, if not condoned, have tolerated it.

Bobby Petrino would not help 'Bama. Solid focused effort is what the University of Alabama needs.

I'll go out on a limb and say it is 100%, given that there are 10 teams instead of 8 this year.

imo florida has been playing lucky all year long their defense is ok yes just ok.

I am beginning to think that there defense is better than I thought. They are the only unit that has kept us in check all year, and aside from the trick play, they stifled us pretty well all night. I hate to admit it, but I think the gator D might be for real.

As for Auburn, the had better get their offense on-track if they are going to win this game. You aren't going to win many games against good teams scoring 7 (LSU in a win) or 10 (Arkansas in a loss.) Weren't they supposed to be the class of the SEC on offense?

the florida D is good. i dont think anyone can argue against that at this point.

Anytime Auburn is at home, coming off a loss, with their backs against the wall, I like the Tigers. They have to run to win, though, and Florida has the best run defense in the country, IMO.

i think LSU and TN proved that running the ball is not the most effective way to attack that speedy front UF has...if there is a weakness, it's the secondary, but with the way they've been getting picks lately against LSU and bama, they seem to be getting better too.

that D is all around nasty and they don't exactly play any offensive juggernauts in the 2nd half of the schedule.

UGA and Auburn though will provide the toughest test though from a ground game stand point.

Auburn is very overrated. They were fortunate to beat LSU and SC, and got beaten badly by Arkansas. The same Arkansas team that squeaked by Vandy and Bama and got blew out by USC.

I think this thread is mostly wishful thinking. Florida is much better then Arkansas. Tebow will probably run all over Auburn's defense.
