Florida Atlantic Preface
So here we are with a 6 and 1 Auburn football team that has already exceeded expectations. It's hard to believe that a year ago we were 1 and 6. We have some new players mixing with last year's players playing to their maximum. It's all about coaching. This much is clear.
Expectations are getting out-of-hand. Sure, this team could run the table, but this team could lose some games too. I hope the coaches have this team playing one game at a time.
I understand that FA is 2 and 5 and that AU is a 24 point favorite. What I hope to see is a team that first of all wins of course, but also a team that takes care of business, doesn't play down to the opposition, and wins like it should rather than slopping around.
Let's take of this game like we should and head to Fayetteville.

Texas A & M Preface
Is this a big game or what? The Tigers go to College Station to play the 7th ranked team in the country with both teams standing at 5 and 1. The Aggies are a 14 point favorite with the defending Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. Say what you will, Johnny Football is a fantastic football player to watch in action. We have the slow down their offense as best we can and play ball control as much as possible. Hope comes from the fact that TAMU is 13th in the SEC in rushing defense and last in overall defense. At least we should score on them. I'll be excited at the start this one. This game will certainly be a measuring stick for the program.

Western Carolina Postmortem
The Tigers take care of business. They take care of business in a crisp and efficient manner. Now it's on to College Station, Texas.
I watched the Aggies beat Ole Miss 41 to 38 last night. This game is winnable though I don't expect to win out there. The difference is that our offense will not sustain enough drives. TAMU will get their points. I don't think we can quite catch up to them. One good thing is that we might be able to run the ball on them. Another good thing is that Manziel got nicked up last night. Maybe he will not be as mobile as usual.
At least I will watch the game not thinking that we will get embarassed as we were under Chizik.
