Auburn preview: Similarities to OU game abound as Bama tries to get up off the mat

by Jess Nicholas, TideFans.com Editor-In-Chief

Similar records. Similar offensive philosophies. Similar ability to pressure teams with a competent running game. Similar defensive metrics.

Alabama is hoping the similarities end there.

Following convincing wins over Missouri and LSU, nobody thought Auburn would be able to mount a serious threat against Alabama in the 2024 renewal of rivalries. The game is in Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, which has become as big a problem for visiting Auburn squads as Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn ever has for visiting Alabama teams. At that moment in time, Auburn was a loser in five of its previous six games, averaging only 16 points per game across that stretch.

This game worries me simply because both teams seem a little floundering and you need something to fall back on and Auburn has ingrained beating Alabama into their psyche, and well, this is just another game for Alabama.

 

[Bama9001]

Since Auburn's strength is their DE's and our OT's looked terribly pedestrian last week...have to find a way not to let those two DEs beat us.

 

[ROCKEE]

Great write up as usual Jesse.
This team has been up and down all year.
probably due to new coaching staff, new players, blasted nil, too much me and no team……etc etc. I still say we roll Saturday!

Well, Bama’s playing at home. Our 3 losses are on the road.

Hopefully, Alabama will win this one. The OL needs to BLOCK, esp. that RT! Well, the LT also.

Bama fans in the stadium! Make LOTS OF NOISE when the Barn has the ball!

 

[FloridanBlogger]

This certainly makes me feel a little better.

I’ll be there! Taking my 10 year old granddaughter. Will be her first BAMA booger game. She’s been to a lot of other games. Just not this one. All winners!

Good write up; but don't really understand the discussion of back up QB's; Milroe and Thorne will go the distance; win or lose. Barring injury.

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

Home game.

Crazily, that's all I got. RTR!

 

[BamaNation]

I’ll be there! Taking my 10 year old granddaughter. Will be her first BAMA booger game. She’s been to a lot of other games. Just not this one. All winners!

When we win, she has a legit case for you taking her to EVERY Alabama game, no matter the location. Just sayin'

 

[BamaFanInTally]

We need the output and intensity from the first half of Bama vs Georgia for the entire game in this one. Shock and awe early with a big lead, but don’t let up and just keep pounding.

 

[Tide Rev]

Have to play a complete game and not turn the ball over.

Hopefully (lol) Auburn hungover from TX A&M win and Bama angry and aggressive after OU embarrassment.
