They lost to an underwhelming Miami team by giving up 48 points (who put up 38 points against Miami OH a week earlier). I get that it’s a road game. But our record in college station is actually really good. Seriously, what’s with the TAMU praise? I think it’s a slugfest for 3 quarters (something like 14-7 Auburn). We pull ahead in quarter 4, and they score a second garbage TD as the clock is expecting. Jimbo is shown the door next Sunday. 28-14 Auburn I hope your correct. Main reason I see a problem is a&m have been scoring alot of points (I believe 33 on Miami). It will be hard for our offense to keep up , I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn struggled to beat Cal and Cal is the same team who just struggled to beat Idaho of all teams. I have no idea how this game is gone play out honestly, could go either way Edited September 18, 2023 by Sizzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old fan 47 806 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 This one will get ugly. Our secondary is banged up, we have no pass rush and our tailbacks are pressing and not waiting for holes to open up. TAMU- 38 AU- 19 Really have not been given a reason to believe in this O so far, plus, they have a pretty good QB and Fisher is coaching for his job. This may start a bit of a losing streak the same as last year. Wow, I hope I’m so far off base with this, but I need to see a solid game against an actual opponent first.

roe4christ 980 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 AU - 27 - Aggies - 24 We'll be down 10-14 at the half but will flip the script in the second half. Will do just enough to get out of College Station with a win. Will set up a lot of hype with Georgia coming to town the following week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t have a good feeling about the Cal game but thought we could pull it out. It wasn’t pretty but AU pulled it out. Thorne is going to have to be lights out for AU to win or the defense will have to score/set up short fields for the win. aTm - 27 AU - 10 I could easily see it going this way as well. It'll take a few things we haven't seen so far this season, but I see it as more of a toss up than Vegas does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their OC is obviously much better, their QB is much better and with so many in our secondary hurt and no pass rush, I just don’t see it as a toss up. On paper, which doesn’t mean a ton, they are much more talented at almost all positions. I still haven’t seen much from this coaching staff, mainly the HC and OC that gives me much confidence so far. Recruiting has improved obviously, but if the staff isn’t there to continue to coach them up, not sure it matters too much. The entire SEC looks very weak this year so far, so that’s a definite plus.

AURex 2,262 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 With LSU and UGA coming up, I am so begging for a win in College Station. A wimpy collie doggie as a mascot. No cheerleaders of the feminine persuasion. A stadium full of drunk ROTC kids with white handkerchiefs. That said, the A&M QB is performing among the best in the SEC in passing. The Auburn QB, um, nope. Even Samford stuffed Auburn RBs. With Auburn defense relying on "depth" ..... As a former administrator in big organizations, I'm hoping for the best, but preparing the worst. A&M by 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuscAUse! 1,688 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 They have 4-5 stars at every position. If recruiting and Jimmie's and Joe's are the true benchmark, we are screwed , and badly. They have a great pass rush, and should dominate both lines of scrimmage. I do like the 11 AM kick, and hope the young guys that will be starting due to our injuries will not know any better. So , as an AU lifetime fan.....we win by 3. 😎 But I ain't putting money on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say Petrino hasn't called a good game since 2015 but Montgomery has been straight up ass with his playcalling in my opinion. We turn the ball over alot, we have several injuries and they're quiet a bit more talented than we are. I picked us to win 24-19 just because the visiting team usually wins in this series. I don't feel confident in my pick whatsoever. I think we could very easily lose our next 4 games. We should've lost to Cal. Colorado won 1 game last year and it was against Cal. Cal struggled against freaking Idaho saturday. They aren't a good team at all. Just like you don't get why people think A&M will beat us, I don't get what makes you so confident that we'll beat them. Especially by 2 touchdowns like you predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,583 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Usually, I am an optimist. But taking off my orange and blue glasses, this is what I see … We can’t run the ball. Thorne is our leading rusher this season. OL is having trouble. RB are slow to hit the hole, maybe because there is not one. That is shocking. We turn the ball over constantly which is our biggest problem. WRs are not making plays. Injury bug hit us. Our best nickel is out for the season. We are playing on the road against a coach that cannot lose this game… for his own job is on the line. Their QB leads the league in QBR. Their defense is 3rd in the country in 3rd down defense. They have more talent than us at just about every position. We are over a TD underdog now. Keeping it close would be a surprise. Winning would be shocking. I would rather play any other team in the SEC this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e808 3,166 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) To me it’s hard to predict. Coming into the season the defense was supposed to be an issue. Game 1 the running game looked pretty . Game 2 it looked like a cluster. Defense still played well but the turnovers killed the flow of the offense to have any sustained drives . Game 3 a heavy game emphasis was placed on passing so the run game suffered . Still had turnovers and plenty of injuries. To me Auburn has the advantage because they have yet to play a complete game and it seems they have been experimenting. This week it all comes together 31 -24 Tigers Edited September 19, 2023 by e808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duder 243 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If I bet this I'm taking A&M to cover. By composite they have the 4th most talented roster in CFB. We are like 15? At their place, early kick. I hate it but unless Hugh has a ton of aces up his sleeve, we are at the start of a 3 game skid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
