Zeek 16,957 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Who? Auburn (0-0) vs. Mercer (1-0) What? Our first football game of the season and first home game. Bryan Harsin's second season. Kiesau and Schmedding's first game as coordinators for SEC programs. When? September 3rd, 2022 6:00 PM CST Where? Jordan Hare Stadium (Auburn, AL) Why does this game matter? Auburn obviously can't afford to lose their first game against what should be a cupcake opponent. We need to see how TJ Finley looks at QB1, how will the OL look, our DL will look to show their potential, and for the first time in a long time we'll see a linebacker group without stalwart Zakoby McClain hunting down runners. Zeek's score prediction: Auburn 45 - Mercer 14 What do you think? Any stat line predictions? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively we need to limit their RB(#5) & who seems to be their top WR Ty James(Kid looks GOOD). Look for our backfield to have 250 yards rushing. TJ won't need to do much but will play well into the 3rd. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeTiger 5,914 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I have no idea. So many unknowns all over the place...coming off a chaotic offseason. If I had to make a prediction I'd go with 37-13 . Mercer did just pound MoreHead State 63-13 last week so they've already had a warmup game and at least have a pulse.

Sizzle 3,948 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Idk how to feel about that game honestly. They got some decent players on that Mercer offense Edited August 29, 2022 by Sizzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle 9,128 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Slow start from the offense leads to a close game in the first half. We pile on in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucom96 1,658 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Our OL should have enough talent advantage against Mercer to get the ground game going, so I like your prediction. If this game is interesting, we've got problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,304 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 No idea what to expect from the team to start the season. But i don't think Mercer has the players in the right spots to expose our weak spots. Our DL should give them enough problems up front that our new LBs and secondary guys can get things figured out. And our OL should be able to open a few creases for the RBs to get through. As long as the turnover bug does not bite hard i'm not very worried.
