This game reminds me of the LSU game last year; everyone focused on perceived deficiencies of UF and not giving them much of a chance, while ignoring Auburn’s deficiencies.
Auburn’s d-line is outstanding but their secondary is average. The only matchup that favors Auburn is their d-line v UF’s o-line. As has been pointed out already, nobody does a better job hiding deficiencies than Mullen. By the chatter here and elsewhere, you’d think Auburn was the team fielding the defense ranked #1 nationally in sacks, picks, red zone defense and among the top in the nation in scoring defense. But they aren’t, that defense belongs to Florida. How about Auburn should be worried about Florida’s D-line? I guess that hasn’t occurred to anyone. If UF has a healthy defense with Zuniga, CJ Henderson and Ventrell Miller back, why the hell won’t Florida shut Auburn down, especially at home?
UF’s defense and home field advantage lead to a win. Florida - 27 Auburn - 17
