To put their offensive statistics into prospective, they had 696 yards against Ark State, 450 rushing yds and 660 yds against ULM, 375 rushing yds.I stand by my analysis from offensive statistics to date .... their offense is not THAT great.
Well, Auburn averages 302.9 yards rushing, but that's somewhat inflated due to the 540 yard performance this past weekend. They're third in rushing while we're ninth at 264.8.
We also pass for 233.3 ypg (62nd) and Auburn for 198.1 (96th).
Our TOTAL OFFENSE is 3 yards per game less than Auburn (they're 14th and we're 15th). And they have two losses while we have none against the 11th ranked schedule in the nation (theirs is 19th per Sagarin).
So the offenses are dead even, the defenses are dead even, and Alabama has played a somewhat tougher schedule.
2010 and 2013 they were undefeated in the regular season. thx to a Les Miles lsu coached team, auburn should have 3 losses by now.I'm glad that's their goal. lol BCS!
One thing I have seen with this Bama team. They play together and win together. Even when the chips are down, it never seems like they are going to lose. Aubren may have gadget plays, but overall, I don't think they have enough to hang with Alabama. Unlike 2010 and 2013, I am not concerned.
Lost only to LSU in 20132010 and 2013 they were undefeated in the regular season. thx to a Les Miles lsu coached team, auburn should have 3 losses by now.
Agreed, we should be running out of fingers to hold.It's crazy to think Saban still hasn't beaten the Barn 3 years in a row in his tenure at Bama.
2007: loss
2008: win
2009: win
2010: loss
2011: win
2012: win

2014: win
2015: win
We REALLY need to win this game against them. I'm tired of them hanging around, we need to bury them.
Yeah, but they had one loss in 2013.2010 and 2013 they were undefeated in the regular season. thx to a Les Miles lsu coached team, auburn should have 3 losses by now.
FIFY.It's crazy to think Saban still hasn't beaten the Barn 3 years in a row in his tenure at Bama.

We are the ONLY team that lights a fire under their feet. They are usually the heavy underdog and they have nothing to lose.I heard it said today that Saban is 1-3 against a RANKED barn team. I think we will add another win to that record next month, but like I've said before I dont think they are intimidated one bit by us and will be very relaxed with nothing to lose when they walk onto the field at BDS in a few weeks.
They were ranked in 2011 and 2014, so Saban's record against ranked barn is 2-2 with his players. Had a dozen things happened differently in both games he'd be 4-0 against ranked or 8-0 overall since 2008. As has been pointed out, the best auburn teams in decades won by 1 point(with $cam) in 2010 and were tied(after an illegal TD pass) going into OT in 2013.I heard it said today that Saban is 1-3 against a RANKED barn team.

Sums it up perfectly....
We are their mountain to climb, they are our pothole to avoid.
