Auburn’s offense is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that has been tied to thick cement blocks and tossed into a river full of hungry piranhas.   :laugh:

You may be right.  And while Auburn gave up a shizzle ton of running yards to MSU, it was mostly Nick Fitzgerald, and while he's not an elite RB i just learned that he did break Tebow's SEC QB rushing record, and that's impressive to say the least.  JG will never come anywhere near breaking Tebow's record, but if he can help pick up a few first downs over the course of the day it may help.

It's going to be an interesting matchup.  Two keys will be can our run game even come close to what MSU did and also how will our young secondary look vs. an apparently overated Stidham?  I almost hesitate to mention that last one, because recently QBs tend to have career days against UT.  But I am firmly in the camp that says superstitions don't matter, so I think Stidham (sp?) has been so underachieving this year that we have some success stopping him.
