This matchup is much better than the Missou matchup.

I disagree. I will take the team that went to A&M and beat Johnny Football. Matchups are hard to analyze. Our Vols got dominated by a "speed" team, Oregon, and got dominated by a "power" team, Alabama. I hate to say it, but we really don't match up well with anyone. We just need to overachieve and win this game!!!

Both lines HAVE to man up and play smart slobberknockin football these last three games. Start with the barn.

Right there with you but think we win by 7+ and havent said that many times. We match up really well well with AU. Much better than Mizzou and S.Car and its at home. Its not like AU is playing a brutal schedule, pretty dsmn bad actuslly.

Beat TAMU at TAMU. But keep acting like they are just a product of their schedule.

Hmm..slow linebackers and a secondary made up of players that take bad angles. Gonna be tough for UT to slow down their rushing attack im afraid.

No offense JV, but we match up horribly with their run offense (#1 in the SEC) vs our run defense (#14 in the SEC). It will more than likely determine the outcome of the game. The only way we slow down their run game is if they put it on the 2-3 times. Otherwise, they roll up 350-400 yds rushing and we get embarrassed. Not being a NegaVol, just looking at the facts at this point.

Additionally, another bad matchup for us is our passive and slow OL vs their quick and aggressive DL/DEs. I don't think we matchup well with Auburn at all.

I think we're going to find out that Auburn is deserving of their ranking. Let's hope for good recruiting news come Monday.

On a slightly brighter note, there is a solid chance that this will be our final loss of the season!

The grass is always greener on the other side...

If Dobbs can maintain some offense to get some rest for the defense, AND, our CB can do well in man coverage to allow the safeties to help in run support.......I predict the Vols to win by 4.

Don't see it. AU (and I hate to say it) is the second best team in the SEC. UT might hang close for a half, but the Barn wins big.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.:cray:

So many of you just make up reasons to put down any opponent.

The only thing UT has going for it is that we are the home team. That's it.

Auburn will run and run and run it down our throats. Hopefully UT keeps it close and catch a few breaks to keep close.

But it its just stupid to try and put our opponent down.

We're not putting anybody down. Heck we know that AU is good. Some of us just have faith that we can win this game. What's wrong with that?

We beat a SC team that is just as good as auburn with a better QB and coach,imo, at the same place and same time a few weeks ago. Just sayin...
