This Auburn offense is really going to test the speed of our defense, particularly the front 7. To me our defensive linemen and linebackers will decide the outcome of this game. If they can keep up with Newton and company, we win, and if not we lose. They also run a lot of misdirection, so we can't bite on every play fake or every counter, we need to stay disciplined. I think we can put up around 30 (or 35 points at the most) on Auburn, so if we can limit the big plays in the running game, we've got a good shot at a huge win. This game will be all about speed. I think we'll get a good look at the progress Mullen is making in that department Thursday night. <div>

We have GOT to wrap up and stick to technique. Those guys are pretty elusive and we can't just let them get away from easy tackles.</div><div>
