Is a anybody really worried about Auburn?

I know I'm more worried about going to Louisville. I mean yeah if we play like crap AU could beat us. But I don't seeing the Tigers playing that bad. Go Tigers 31-17.

I "worry" about alot of games because hey, stuff can happen, but I worry more about road games against Louisville, VT, and NCST than I do about this home game against Auburn. Going into the season, I ranked toughest as:
1.) at Louisville 2.) FSU 3.) at NCST 4.) at VT 5.) Auburn 6.) at chickens 7.) GT
For me, loss of Francois drops FSU to #4 (with top 3 being the road games), an Auburn still comes in 5th

yes. Both have new qb's. I think o's will sputter like last year and it will be low scoring. A turnover could swing it for one or the other. I still like our chances but it will be a grinder

I know the Louisville game worries a lot of people. Don't get me wrong they are capable of beating us but not if we play to our standard. It has been evident the last two years that the overall talent of our two programs is heading in opposite directions. The first year (2014) we got away with one. We have seriously played down to them and been sloppy the last two years yet still beat them. Lamar is the only thing that keeps them relevant at this point. If we play to our standard we will win by double digits.

not really - just of freak things like turnovers or bad call
Sep 7, 2017, 1:46 PM

that is the only way we lose.
I would parlay SCU over Missouri, UGA over ND, and Clemson over Auburn.
I want Missouri and ND to win so I am hedging myself and Clemson I have very little doubt about.

I'm growing more confident about games like this
Sep 7, 2017, 1:53 PM
|

but I be would lying if I said I wasn't at least a little worried about KB's performance against a stout defense. We just haven't seen enough yet to know how he will handle adversity.
On paper, I really think we are the better, deeper team. But man, I'm still nervous.

Agree with this due to it being an actual game, but don't forget he plays the best defense in the country every day in practice. Things will be slightly easier for him and slightly harder for Stidham due to a road game and a better faster defense than he's used to.

Auburn is very talented and its possible we lose. I expect us to win, but also think we'll struggle offensively but find a way to win.

I'll be honest...
Last season took ALOT out of me and it was such a huge relief to win the championship that I have just become quite numb to the emotions of this season. Don't get me wrong, I love our team and I am very in tune with the season...But I just I don't get nervous and worry all week like I did last season and the one before....Thank god we finally one and would love to win as many as we can...But its just different this season...Maybe its because DeShaun is gone...

Auburn looks very formidable. They are big, experienced and deep. I think they feel they 'owe us one'. I don't think we will win big. I hope we don't fall behind by more than 7 at any time. As usual injuries, turnovers and penalties will have all some impact on the game.In summary I think Auburn is more likely than we to win big- by 10 or more points. We will need to play a near-perfect game to get the win.

Glad we're big, experienced, and deep as well.
Also glad we are at home and they have an inexperienced quarterback playing in his first road game of this magnitude.

Auburn is an 8-5 middling sec football

team. Why would anyone worry about them? Obviously they can't win. That's been proven for several days here on tnet ??. But seriously, they're an 8-5 team ...

If both teams play their A game ... Auburn wins by 7.
I think it will be a 3 to 7 point game, the winner will have less turnovers than the loser.
In a turnover free /No injury game:
Auburn 27 Clemson 20

You do realize any team that loses can use "we beat ourselves". Have you ever thought that if your team plays bad, the other team caused it? I thought Bama fans were bad, but you guys may have them beaten. I remember coming over here last year before the game and having rational conversations but after you guys won the national championship, your heads are way up in the clouds. I sure hope your players are as confident.

Well, you have to take into account that some of your fans have came over and claimed that Auburn are world beaters and have every advantage possible.
Over time that wears on people and you get the responses you are seeing.

No you Auburn fans just because you have a QB that hasn't played in 2 years. Think y'all are on CLEMSONs level when AU hasn't proven more than an 8 win team in 3 years. You see we are the big Dogs now if you don't believe me ask Bama, OU and OSU. You get respect when you earn it.

Before the season I thought FSU and Auburn were the two toughest games. They're more talented than any of the other 10 teams by far. With FSU losing their starting QB that puts Auburn at #1 for me. Win this one and the Tigers are in good shape.

All I have to say is look at the Pitt game last year. Anything can happen in college football and I hope we come prepared and kick some ###.
That being said, I believe Auburn stands no chance and our defensive front is going to make them look like a bunch of little boys.
