Some Positives of Playing Auburn after UGA

[ShotgunDawg]

Kind of a maroon colored glasses post, but hey, it can't all be sulking around here.

The positives are:

- I consider Auburn and UGA very similar teams and thus we kind of get a "do over". It's clear that we were not ready to play last weekend with a sub-par game plan and we probably are not going to become a dramatically better team in one week. Additionally, Auburn will probably just copy UGA's defensive gameplan. Why not? So... my thought is that it lacks logic for stubborn Dan Mullen to show up this week and we get a do over. In some way, big or small, that has to help. If we played Auburn in a month after blowing out BYU and UMass, it's likely that Mullen would've thought we improved as a team and therefore implemented the UGA and typical Bama game offensive game plan. It lacks logic that that would happen here.

- It may help us that we were blown out at UGA rather than losing a close one. It was a humiliating experience that allows the coaches to challenge the players. Also, it allows us to kind of slide beneath the radar. UGA felt threatened last week and played as such. Auburn sees us as typical Msu due to the UGA game and think they will also blow us out. That's a better spot for us to walk into.

I don't know if we have the WRs or QB accuracy to win this game but I do believe we'll play better than last week.
