I think the value is with Auburn here. Auburn had a disappointing season but their only bad loss was to Tennessee in a game they nearly won despite losing the turnover badly. Auburn should be motivated since they were embarrassed last year and lost their last 2 bowl games, Stidham and other players will want to make a good impression for the draft. Auburn should have a significant advantage on the offensive and defensive line, Purdue's best defensive linemen by far, Neal, is out, and Auburn's defensive line is completely healthy for the first time since the beginning of the year. Purdue struggled against physical teams like Minnesota and Wisconsin.
