Auburn Vs. K-State
 

I saw the line is around 13.5 to 14 depending on where you go, does anyone have any thoughts one way or the other?

I think it should be around 19. I think Auburn covers easy.

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

I lean Auburn. K-St. will not be able to block Auburn at all. Freeman has been terrible in practice from what I hear, though he may be doing better of late. I don't see how K St. scores more than 10 against Auburn. On the other hand, K St. has a decent defense and I'm not too thrilled with the Auburn offense, so I guess it depends on how many you think Auburn will score.

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

I'm thinking Auburn scores one TD off a turnover, and up to two other scores off K-State turnovers.

I see two problems with the line:

1. K-State has been horrid on the road the last couple of seasons. They'll be playing in front of 80k plus. They're used to playin infront of 60-40k depending on the big 12 venue.

2. I don't think K-State has the athletes to play with Auburn. If this were a mid-season game, I think the line moves up quite a bit.

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

1. KSU plays Nebraska, OU, Texas, Texas A&M, so a big crowd isn't a big deal though I do think KSU does struggle on the road.

2. Auburn is more athletic and def. has more talent, but there's not as huge a discrepancy as you might think. Talentwise, KSU def. has the best QB.

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

Brad Lester is out for the game (AU starting RB) and AU's O-line is still very unproven and suspect (was terrible last year). I think I heard that 2 of AU's starting LBs are out too for this game. I'm torn, if I could get like +17 I'd def take KSU though. AU has started slow before, see GT game two years ago. I just dont know enough about state.

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

Obvious biased here growing up in Kansas and having multiple family KSU alumni. So I say Wildcats win by 38, ldo. Also, wrong forum.

Seriously though, K-state's defense should be pretty good. Just a matter of how much they can score. I think it will be a great/close game.

Trahan and Gandy are no longer on the team, so maybe that is what you're referring to. Trahan did not make his grades and Gandy gave up fball due to concussions. That is all old news, but I am concerned about our depth at LB. We've got a TFr. at one backup spot. Then again, we are very young all over the place, so we'll just have to see.

Lester being out hurts, but I can't wait to see Tate and Fannin.

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

Sorry about the posting this in the wrong thread...

Auburn has what, nine starters returning from one of the best defenses in the country last year? Meanwhile K-State showed game after game that it has problems hanging onto the ball.

If Auburn had any offensive proficiency I think this is a blow-out. As it stands:

28-6

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

Mojo- Off the top of my head I can think of 4 def. starters gone from last year, plus all our kickers. But yes, I expect us to be top 10 maybe top 5 defense in the country. D-line should be one of the best and the secondary is pretty deep. LB is the big question, although Blackmon should be all-conference.

Re: Auburn Vs. K-State
 

I am concerned about the depth at LB too but if they stay healthy they'll be okay. I'm very excited about Tray lining up at mike and I think that Craig Stevens is going to be a stud. Bo Harris isn't exactly a true freshman, he prepped for year a Milford and has a college-ready body.

I'm worried about the depth at tailback more to be honest. I'm hoping the Lester thing is just one game but jesus what a terrible time for this to happen, we really need Tristan Davis to get healthy.

Aus.. what do you think of Etheridge beating out Eric Brock for the SS job? I'm partial to Brock since I had a class with him freshman year and he was a cool dude and the fact that I thought he was one of our more steady players on defense last year.

Also for bettors.. I'd probably stay away from this game..

I was also stunned with Etheridge winning that job. I made a post about it on the Auburn board awhile back. I thought Brock was great last year, particularly against LSU. To see an underclassman leapfrog him has me pretty excited about our depth there.

Excellent analysis from a guy with a picture of Saban for an avatar.
According to the head coach, Lester will start.

The o-line is young but athletic. We did lose a first round draft pick (Ben Grubbs) from last years front five (terrible? LOL), but King Dunlap (6'8" 315) is on the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid buddy.
