can we realistically beat Auburn?

[hogken]

i know now when focused , we can stop the run! but will we always sacrifice the pass play in doing so? can we be balanced on Defense? I think alot of times we pressure or blitz too much. we come heavy on 3rd down and we dont get to the QB nor do we stop the completed pass. I would rather have more coverage on 3rd down after blitzing 1st and 2nd downs. any thoughts?

[jamie72921]

NO!

[Hawgasaurus]

ummmm..... NO!

[dirthog]

NO!

[hogken]

thats what many said about Bama!

[razorbackfan4life]

Nope, we could realistically beat them if Mitch throws a near perfect game and D-Mac goes for 150+.  Our defense would have to hold them to 300 or less yards.

[Hoggimistic]

Is Auburn better than us on paper?  Should they win.....?

Well, the answer is yes.  However, we're talking about kids here......and with kids, you never know what you're going to get.

That's why I love college football.  Upsets happen every week.

I understand some people being pessimistic, but what's the fun in that?

I'm going at it like we have a shot to win......because we do.

What drove me crazy on about three plays was that we sent our best cover guys either out to rest or on the blitz on third and long and blitzed leaving 2nd and 3rd teamers to go man on man with that &*%#81.  They converted almost every time. 

You have to believe you COULD win, otherwise why do you turn on the TV or radio?

Bama is no Auburn.  So to answer...No.

[krack1925]

No we shouldn't, I didn't think we had a shot a texas a few years ago either... so what do i know...

[LCABrandon]

this is when i hate being an optimist...  

[SPAL]

not no, heck no

[hogken]

i agree.....very unpredictable...i mean who in their right mind would ever think a kicker could or even would miss 4 kicks? WOW! Hogs-24 War Eagles-17

[dotnet]

Arkansas can realistically win any game.  I think we had a much better shot against USC than we do Auburn.

Fixed that for ya

[brooks74]

My head says no, my heart says there is always a chance.  The only way we win is to get multiple turnovers that turn into points and we catch Auburn as a trap game.

[GrizzledHogFan]

Can we?  Yes.  We also could've beaten USC twice.

[mayorhog]

I say   NO

and lets not talk about the kicker,   heard he tried to commit suicide by hanging and failed.......



He couldnt kick the chair out from under him.


thats funny i dont care who you are.....
but probably get in trouble for it..  sorry mod people  could help it

[hawgfan_18]

personally i don't think we will come close to beating auburn so realistically i don't believe we can beat them. they're just too good.

[hogsNbeer]

thats what many said about Bama!

We basically did get beat by Bama....Except on the scoreboard..... When the opponent misses that many FGs, and they lose-- well that doesn't really mean that we "beat" them....Means more like we dodged a bullet and Bama did what they had to do to lose.......... From my vantage, We were beaten....

Realistically, we have zero chance in winning at Auburn short of an Auburn meltdown......or the Tigers forget where their stadium is.... That's sad to say.......

Does this mean that we beat LSU last year???

[claycohog]

NOOOOOOOOOO!

[TCBNAFLASH]

I was listening to Lou on ESPN earlier and he said that Auburn will have trouble against S Carolina b/c they don't have good recievers and you can play man-to-man against them while you try to stop the run. Sounds like a team that the razorhogs can beat if you think Holtz knows what he is talkin bout  :razorback:

[piggly wiggly]

Not No, but He.. no!!

[wwwhogfan]

Let's see.....Auburn is quite likely better than USC this season.....do the math.

I believe Lou ALSO picked us to upset USC.
Methinks he is a homer for his former teams.

alabama is not ranked #2 in the nation and barely beat vandy and hawaii.
the only way we win is if someone kidnaps auburn or gives the team a stomach virus.
there isn't a comparison between the two teams

How does that make sense?  The object of the game is to score more points.  We did that, therefore, we beat Bama.  Missed FGs are a part of the game.  "When the opponent misses that many FGs, and they lose-- well that doesn't really mean that we "beat" them."  Yes it does!!!

Do you play pool?  Play 8 ball....... Break, run the table, scratch on the 8 ball.......   Did your opponent win?   Yes he won, but he didnt' really beat you.....He never shot....  You just LOST the game?   Same way I'm thinking on the football game.....

No shitte FGs are apart of the game.....  Didnt' say they weren't..........  It just doesn't make sense to me to be all giddy after we beat an AVG Bama(at best) team because they MISSED 3 FGs....and won in the same fashion against VANDY.......   Doesn't seem like we beat them, but they just LOST the game for themselves..... That's all......

Just as funny now as it was after the '86 Texas game.

[cityhog]

On paper? No. 

In the crazy world of college football where a kicker misses chip shot field goals and a PAT in overtime?  YES.

[idochog]

Since Auburns kicker is gonna be kicking alot of extra points and not FGs, I would say no.

[Hog Belly]

Yes. Anything can happen. I've seen weirder things happen. Probability is that we will not.

[hogfan65]

Yes, Auburn is good but, any team on any given day can be beat...

Then would it qualify as a moral loss?

[DeltaBoy]

Yes because this is College Football! Teams have off days as the Sooner's did last year against TCU. The players are still college kids their minds wander and they screw up.  It is possible just not probable.

[kitshicker]

If we played them 100 times, they would probably beat us 99/100.....maybe this is our time....By the way, what movie is that from, I can't remember.

You don't have to be all giddy, but you can accept the fact that we beat Bama.  If a team loses, then they got beat regardless of what led to the final score.

I think it was this one. Only I think it was 9 out of 10.
