Does this asshole ever shut up? 

I predict Kiffin gone by the end of next season.  Nobody runs their mouth when they're 1-2.  What the hell has he accomplished so far?

That's what I don't get?  It's like talking shit after you get your ass beat in a fight?

Exactly.  And how do people usually think about those kinds of people?  Also, how many more times do they get their ass kicked again? 

Kiffin is a douchebag.  A 5th grade douchebag.

It seems that this guy has a big ego with a small set of nads. Its like hes taking roids but only its not going to his muscle fibers but instead the marshmallow texture that he calls a brain. Goof gosh I cant wait till Auburn plays the Vols and freakin destroys 'em.

Im not real sure what kind of vibe I have right now to be honest except for this years Auburn team has a lot more life to them instead of last years walking dead. Auburn without a doubt has enough work cut out for them. Not only their own issues but it is at Neyland and its hard to imagine the Vols loosing so many games right off the bat. I do believe this Auburn team can beat Tenn, but only if they can keep up their total team effort. One I want Auburn to win because I love Auburn, two I want Auburn to beat the Vols because Kiffin is an idiot. It will def. be a real interesting battle b/w Malzahn and Kiffin Sr.

I think the guy is hilarious.  A tool, but hilarious. 

I have no doubt he'll run his mouth about Auburn, and I have no doubt it will piss me off, because he has no filter.  But I can respect that. LOL

That's my early thinking.  Florida has more tools at their disposal and a similar offensive attack.  UT shut them down. 

Although I expected our defense to struggle against WVU, I did not anticipate the extent of the struggle. We can't get people off the field. UT's offense has problems, but I worry that our defense can provide some healing. 

For those reasons, my instincts say UT will beat us.

I think UT will be a struggle, but I also think that this AU team is a bunch of scrappers.  They'll fight and claw it out.

Put them behind, and they'll put the money shot where it counts.

But I could be wrong.  One or two well placed dropped balls and that's that.

The only thing I'm worried about is Eric Berry picking off a few of Todd's ducks. 

But what comforts me is the fact that all 11 of our defensive starters will have a chance to intercept Crompton's passes. 

It seems like our defense was in position much of the night against WVU but just couldn't handle the quickness of the smaller backs.  I think we can handle Hardesty and Brown's running style much better.  If I was Kiffin, I'd get Oku the ball a few times to see if he can make a move for a big play.

I hate to admit this, but I totally agree with you.  Before the season, this was the one road game I could point to and see a win for Auburn.  After seeing the shitackular tackling of Noel Devine on Saturday night, I'm not so sure UT doesn't run us out of the stadium. 

Although, I really think Auburn's running backs are a world ahead of anything the Fighting Teebows have put on the field this year.

From what I have seen to date, this one could go either way...with the home field advantage playing a huge part most likely, as this will be Auburn's first road game.

That's my early thinking.  Florida has more tools at their disposal and a similar offensive attack.  UT shut them down.

I'm about 50/50 right now.  Unfortunately they play Ohio and we play Ball State, so we aren't likely to learn anything new before game time.

I think that I think their defense is really good.  But then I look at UCLA.  Not sure what to make of them (they haven't exactly lit up their other two opponents....359 yards against both San Diego State and Kansas State), and they won at Tennessee.

Florida, while there was no blow out, was one fumble away from taking a 24 point lead at what would have been 30-6.  Florida played conservative, no question, and did run for 200+ yards (4.7 yards per carry).  And that average per carry is pretty true, meaning, they didn't have any 80 yard run that skews it.  In fact, they only had three runs over 15 yards, and none over 25 yards.  

That leads me to believe that we may be able to run on the Vols.  If we can, I think we win, because I'm not scared of an offensive shootout with them.  If we can run, we will score points, and if we score over 24 points, we win.  

The scary thing though, is if they can run on us the way they ran on Florida at times, we may be in trouble a bit too.  So, will they be able to?  They got into a rhythm a few times against Florida, but still finished with only 117 yards and 3.7 ypc.  Against UCLA they were worse, 115 yards and only 2.6 yards per carry.

As I'm writing this...I'm moving to 55/45 Auburn wins...because I simply think we will be able to run a little better than they will, and if it comes to passing, I actually think we have an advantage there too (assuming Todd doesn't throw 14 picks off his back foot to Eric Berry).

I saw nothing about Tennessee to suggest they would run Auburn out of the stadium, much less beat them.  Auburn's offense will score points, plain and simple.  UT's offense has shown no ability whatsoever to light up the board.  They mustered what...15 against UCLA and 13 vs. Florida?  If Auburn can weather one bad defensive period, which is exactly what's happened the first three games, they'll be fine. Granted, the WVU 1st quarter was REALLY bad, but 31-9 after that ain't too shabby.

MSU took control of the 2nd quarter but did nothing before or after.  La. Tech had about a quarter of production before adjustments.  WVU, a far superior offensive team to either of those, put the blitzkreig on for one quarter, then the proper adjustments were made and it was a slugfest from there.  What exactly has 1-2 Tennessee shown that scares you?

A basic summary of all this is, in which I agree, we have to improve our tackling and get the Vol offense off the damn field. Im not so much worried as much about Todds back foot throwing as I was last week because Todd can still put the ball on the money when it counts but the lame duck passes are a concern. The Vols already have home field advantage. We cant be giving Tenn any help. Our teams has some fire in them for sure so if we can play w/o giving Tenn anymore advantages then I believe we will win. Kiffin will make a stupid mistake in this game that will loose the game for them.

The only thing that scares me about UT is the Defense.  That wasn't their problem last year and it isn't the problem this year.  The problem with UT is Crompton, no offense to the kid, but he is awful.  If he is the best they have, then what is behind them must be miserable.  Their QB will cost them several games this year that they should/could win.  They have serious talent at RB, but I think we can stack the box and limit their running game.  I am not saying we stop it, but we can seriously hinder it.  That leaves it all on Crompton to beat us and I don't think he can.  Just my $.02, but I think this game will tell us how good this offense really is.  They can straight up play some D, I think we win, but I don't think we hang 40 on them and I would be really surprised if we get 30.

The three-headed monster of Hardesty, Brown and Oku.  WVU had diminutive little #7 as their running game...besides the QB scrambles anyway, and he ran at will when he actually got the carries.
Tennessee will run Hardesty between teh tackles, which I really do think Auburn slows down a good bit.  But then, the hit you with Brown on the corners and Oku to spell him if necessary.  I just think they get somewhere between 150 and 200 on the ground...thus controlling the clock too.

Unless UT has Jock Sanders, Noel Devine and Jarrett Brown....I'm not worried.  If you're going to say that UT has a few stud runningbacks and that that'll be the reason as to why we get run outta the stadium...Well, USC has 34 stud runningbacks and they couldn't beat U Dub.  Then if you're going to say, well we couldn't tackle Devine on one play, you're correct...except for one little thing, we barely touched him as he zipped past everyone (Thorpe had a shot at him but by the time he had dove for him, Devine was already 5 yards down the field).  But, after that one shot, we did a pretty damn good job of tackling the little squirrel.

Off Topic real quick, go back and watch that run....did you notice who one, of the two Auburn players, was that was chasing him?

Maybe "King Kong" was hoping that the squirrel would trip or do some stupid dive into the end zone, so he could fall on top of him and squish 'em.
