Auburn Depth Chart

[ShotgunDawg]

So did ours in 2013.

Auburn gave up only 6 more TFL's than us
They gave up fewer sacks than us yet threw it 60 more times

They return 5 starters- we return 3.

Auburn's OL will be very good and likely better than ours

Our other two OL have a good bit of experience though & Williams is likely the best player out of both OLs

I like us at RB & QB more than Auburn. Nix will be good in time, but surely Tommy Gunn will be better this season.

Auburn has an edge at WR, but I think we'll be much better than a year ago.

If Nix is good THIS YEAR, then Auburn should be better than us. That's a really big IF though

If they become one dimensional, then I think we beat them in a similar game as last year

[ShotgunDawg]

Our football program is as good as Oregon’s now. They just have an easy schedule and Nike hype.

Agree.

They've also been recruiting well & I think that's fed some of their hype, but the good recruits are only FR

Auburn has about 4-5 really good DL/OLB types and the rest of their team is average in the SEC. Facts.

THey know just as much about nix as we know about Stevens.....

Right. And most have us around an 8 win team, not a contender in the West...

3 of Auburn's 5 olinemen are preseason all sec (1 1st team, 2 3rd team) according to coaches. They have 3 dlinemen on the coach's team (1 1st team, 2 2nd team). They have arguably the best combo of offensive/defensive lines in the league

They have an average OL in the SEC. Off the top of my head, Bama, UGA, State, LSU have a better OL.

If you think AU has a better OL than State you just aren?t paying attention.

[defiantdog]

Auburn is stacked on the OL and DL. Also, Nix is a dynamic dual threat QB. I think he's going to surprise a lot of you. Auburn's playbook is the size of a two year old's coloring book. The learning curve is simple, and I don't think he'll have an issue with the speed of the game. He'll thrive in Gus's system especially with an OL full of seniors.

[Covercorner2]

Y?all are giving their OL too much credit. Hell all of our top 7-8 guys are upperclassmen. And they didn?t suck last year.

[Homedawg]

Well first I don't think they will be a contender. Bama wins the west. But the dt's they have coming back make them better on d.

Man, this thread is like an EKG of a crack addicted squirrel admitted to the ER from choking on a hummingbird on quaaludes...

One fact I did notice... Nick Coe is legit.

Auburn is going to be the best team in the country in the trenches. Their OL and DL is better than ours. And it's not really close. They have 4-5 draft picks starting- we have 2

Their DL is elite. No one will argue against that.

But, their OL is not elite, and to say it?s better than ours is definitely debatable. And again, they are average everywhere else, too.

The way you describe their team is pretty much 2018 State without the LBs and CBs.

[TUSK]

That?s a roster that?s gonna get its ass handed to it by Oregon!

Their OL wasnt much worse than ours last year- and they return all 5 guys. We lost 2 of our best 3. They gave up fewer sacks than us with 60 more passes. Their OL will be top 10 in the country.

They are a top 10 team. That's the bottom line

[Schultzy]

34 loves him some returning starters, even if they sucked last season.

Not sure what Oregon has but I’d take their Sr qb over Auburn’s true freshman.

QB- let?s just call it a push
RB- I would take Kylin, but again let?s just call it a push
WR- AU (although they aren?t great by any stretch)
TE- State
OL- push

DL- AU
LB- State
CB- State
S- push? Although I would take our guys

Again, how is AU a 10 win team and State is a 7 win team given the above and AU?s schedule? They are only much better at DL than State, whereas our back 7 is better and the rest is pretty even. That?s the bottom line.

To quote the late, great Ferris Bueller...”Finske”? Name your stakes Bammer! Y’all realize that Vegas thinks the Barn is only a FG favorite. I’ll take the Ducks straight up...make it interesting ladies, I have a PM

We gave up more sacks on 60 less passes than Auburn's OL- what does that say about us?

I don't believe (that you believe) Oregon is gonna win at Auburn...

I will agree with ya though that sometimes ya don't want some players coming back... sometimes it's best to send em to the NFL and move on...
