Auburn was really tested last week against MSU. This week Clemson comes to town and along with them comes the Gameday crew. This game will be highly advertised, discussed and will be on prime time TV (in 3D!). This is a good thing for Auburn especially when it comes to recruiting, but it is going to take a good showing from our Tigers.
I don’t know that much about Clemson. They haven’t really played anyone yet this season as they blew out teams like St. Mary’s by the Swamp and Presbyterian Women’s College. What we do know is that they have a really good quarterback with a good arm who was a 1st round draft pick as a pitcher. Although they lost a good running back and all-around player in CJ Spiller, they have 2 pretty good returning running backs. I look for them to really try to spread the ball around with their QB and will try to exploit our secondary that hasn’t been a strongpoint of this defense at least after 2 games. Look for them to continue the trend of trying to move the ball with the little short passes and screens.
They are strong on defense as well and Auburn will have to rely on more than just Cam’s feet. He is going to have to complete some long passes as well as those intermediate passes across the middle. I also look for Mike Dyer to step up with more carries and we are definitely going to need him to get some yards up the middle with OMac mixing in some misdirection and runs around end. Look for Auburn to hopefully open up the offense more and really try to hurry things up this week.
Overall I see the good tigers winning, but again in a close game. Remember if you are going to the game to wear blue and War Eagle!
