After watching the vols go through many heartbreaking losses over the last few years...bama in 09...lsu, unc last year. It is unbelivable to see how consistently lucky Auburn has been. They have been significantly outgained last week and this week and still somehow won. This week, they were outgained by 150 yards and had the same amount of turnovers as msu and still pulled out a win. When is Chizik's luck going to run out?? They arent that good this year.

As good a coach as Dan Mullen supposeely is, he completely botched the playcall at the end with no timeouts left.

Yeah...he should have called a pass play so they could run 2 plays w 11 seconds left on the 1 yard line. Auburn is do darn lucky...seems like the ball always bounces their way. Their luck has to run out soon w their tough schedule.

ND is the exact opposite...they choked majorly in their secondary and had 5 turnovers on offense I love seeing Brian Kelly blow up. He seems like a hot head jerk going off in his player's face.

Chizik's luck will run out. At least half of LSU's team can play in the NFL, hence the reason Miles' luck is still going.

Auburn made a Deal with the Devil about 2 years ago...

The Devil never wins in the end....

Hopefully it doesn't run out this year against UGA, UF, or USCe. I don't care if they lose the rest.... I'd like to see them win those.

Auburn 2009-2011 is looking more and more like Ohio State 2001-2003, except with the offense being good and the defense sucking.

I don't see Auburn being nearly as good as OSU was this past decade, though.

5 or 6, more like. They still have absolutely no depth and when they play at SC on Oct. 1 they're going to get smashed by Lattimore all day long.

Bingo.

"Coach, do you want two, maybe three chances to score...or just one chance?"

Mullen: "ONE!!!"

Even if you're absolutely confident that the option play is the best call there at the goalline...try a couple of quick passes first! Then run the option with a second or two left. He just handcuffed his team with that call.

I can't see how you can say it was luck. MSU needed two touchdowns in the fourth quarter just to tie. Also, the game wasn't nearly as close at it appeared. Auburn outscored MSU 28 to 7 at one point. Auburn seemed to be going for the kill on offense which almost cost the game, but they had first and 10 at the 50 with 8 minutes left up by two TD's. MSU made a sack, but if somebody had picked up the blitz Auburn had Stallworth wide the hell open and they would have gone up by three TD's most likely.

You can give credit to MSU for making a game out of it, but overall I thought Auburn was fairly dominant for such a young team, even if the stats don't reflect it.
