1) Clausen isn't a sophmore and 2) Clausen had a pretty big incentive to come into Tiger Stadium to face his old team & play great. People said he couldn't hack it here so he transferred to Tennessee. Cox has no such incentice. Stuffing their running game shouldn't be too hard. We're ranked 3rd in the nation at it.
Clausen isn't physically able to complete a 3rd and LONG pass. But that's a moot point. His Rogaine promotions went down with the drain with Tennessee's season. However, we still control our destiny in the SEC.
You think AU scores 27 on us!? How many turnovers do we spot them inside our 20???? Because otherwise, no way in hell Auburn scores 27 on us.
i love the d and i was taking it easy on the d earlier in the season, but... we wont get to cox as much as we got to leak because au doesnt run the **** spread and au has a better OL. their wrs will make plays against our dbs. now, this is assuming pelini has them playing as agressive as the past few games. i think we should try to play a bit more straight up, atleast early on. im hoping our dbs have a better handle on the bracket zone--great way to get t.o.s especially from a young qb. id like nothing more than to blow them out. i think it more likely that our OL protects JR enough and puts up 40 than our D holding them to less than 20. but what the hell do i know.
actually...its the exact same D that clausen saw. Maybe it got tweeked a little bit but it's the same players and the same holes can still be exploited.
LSU 26 3 td's a field goal and a safety skylar gets a run back. Awww barn 17 two td's and a F goal Tigah defense gives up 110 yards through the air and 80 on the ground auburn D gives up 140 on the ground and 200 through the air. auburn scores on one broken coverage and one defensive TD and then they fight our defense all day/nite for a crummy three pernts. menawhile we control the clock.... tick tock. :yelwink2:
