Alabama will make Auburn one dimensional by stopping the run and forcing Nick Marshall to beat them with his arm, something he hasn’t done this year. Bama will use its offense to control the clock and sustain long drives which will keep the Auburn offense off the field and not allow it to get in any kind of rhythm.
Junior college transfer Nick Marshall has been outstanding this year leading Auburn to 10 wins, but the stage will be too much for him to handle this week against an Alabama team that across the board is superior to their intra – state rivals. Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron thrives in games like these and will once again prove why he is the best game manager in college football. Alabama stops the Tigers rushing attack, controls the tempo of the game, and rolls to a comfortable 21 point win. Take Alabama and lay the points.
Nice write up, but if Auburn scores first, 'Bama is in for a much longer day than they expect. Auburn has all the emotions going for them. This is the biggest game in Auburn in years. This is definately a pass.
If Auburn scores first it doesn't mean a thing. Blowout Bama! Georgia should have ended the Auburn fairytale but they got lucky. Bama will end the Tiger fairytale. Mason will be stopped, Marshall will be stopped = no running game. Marshall will have to pass= Bama Sacks. Prediction 42-17 tide rolls!!!!
