@oregonblitzkrieg 2019 looks interesting for Auburn. Most expect a legacy QB (who is still in high school football right now) to take over and start day 1. I am not one of those people. Gus has a hard time trusting freshmen. He likes playing players he trusts over players he SHOULD take last seasons second UGA game, or the embarrassment of getting manhandled by UCF. Kerryon Johnson who Auburns offense revolved around was injured vs Bama when Auburn beat the #1 team in 2 out of 3 weeks. Once KJ was injured, Gus should of gone to the next man up in the RB rotation, and he simply didn't. As far as the DL goes, I wouldn't expect much of a drop off. Auburn has recruited incredibly well in that position. There is talent for days on the DL and they aren't just juniors and seniors. So while I expect a huge drop off from the QB spot, I wouldn't be expecting a huge drop from the DL.

1. I got tired of being in the south so I thought what is the furthest from my home that I could get that would be as different as possible. And Eugene Oregon with all their hippies are as different from the small town in the south as I could possibly find. Rivalry hatred aside, Eugene isn't that bad.
2. The UW DL is a real advantage on the Auburn OL. In years past, this simply wouldn't of been the case. But Auburn went through some BS along the coaching side of the line. The OL coach JB Grimes was the OL coach. He was pushed out for Malzahns buddy Herb Hand. Hand was supposed to be a far superior recruiter than Grimes, with only a slight drop on the coaching side. That's couldn't of been further from the truth. Hand not only didn't really bring the talent in, he was a HORRIBLE coach. Auburn like Penn State gave up record numbers in the sacks allowed category under Herb Hand. Texas thought they stole Hand from Auburn, in reality 99.999% of Auburn people were thrilled to see him leave. Most fans expected a big name OL hire when Hand went to Texas. Unfortunately, Gus rehired the coach he forced out for Hand. So back to Grimes. What side is stronger? Neither. Prince Tega the LT started there a few games last season before being sat in favor of a better player. LG is a new starter, C is a new starter, RG has a few starts under his belt, and RT is a new starter. Auburn replaces 4 of the 5 starters from last season. There really isn't a stronger side. Is there quality depth? LoL, no. There may be quality that isn't known about. I mean Auburn MAY have an All American that has no experience... But that's it. How confident am I? In our OL? On a scale of 1 to 10, my confidence in the OL is about a 2 or 3. Auburns OL will be the difference in a playoff run and fighting to finish .500.
3. Stidham was running for his life most of last season, and still put up the 2nd best passing season in Auburns history. But if you want to see how he handles pressure differently, watch last year's Clemson game, then watch the UGA (game 1) or the Bama game. He matured greatly during the season. However, to answer your question, I would have to see the starting lineup for the OL. There is a chance the RG will slide over to center and one of the RTs will slide inside to RG. If that happens, I think Stidham will fare better than leaving the center exposed as it will be if you see Kaleb Kim as the starting center. If Horton slides over, Stidham will have a better game.
4. I used to be a SEC SEC guy. But then I lived outside the SEC for over 2 decades. I personally don't ascribe to that nonsense anymore. And UGA and Bama doing what they are doing doesn't help Auburn in the least. A. They get 90% of the recruits they want. Auburn is left with a lot of their top targets being taken. And B Auburn plays both Bama and UGA every single year. On the road in the same year and at home at the same year. Plus it's in the last month of the season. So say Auburn is undefeated going into UGA this year, they will play UGA, no body team, Bama and if they win them, UGA again. So if Auburn wins their division of the SEC, they play UGA a second time in less than a month. So UGA and Bama balling out like they are doesn't help Auburn in the least. It hurts them.
@HorrifyinglyAlluring I personally want to play 9 conference games, as does the Auburn coach. So you are preaching to the choir on that one. Also Auburn doesn't play a cupcake before our rivalry games. This season it's Texas A&M before UGA. Then a cupcake before Bama. In the last few seasons it hasn't had any effect on team health or who wins the next game. As far as true road games, Auburn simply doesn't travel to the left coast. In the 20 years I lived in Eugene, there was nothing more I would of loved to see than my Auburn Tigers putting the smack down on the Ducks in Autzen. But no. The former AD was a good ole boy who never has left Alabama, the new AD is a young man from Notre Dame. So Auburn very well may start doing true road games.
@Pitchfork51 you will find a great majority of Auburn people without question ABSOLUTELY want Lindsey being in charge of the offense. Auburn people want Gus to be the head coach and have NOTHING TO DO with the offense.
@AuburnFan Auburn absolutely does not have the best front 7 in college football. Most likely not even the SEC. But keep viewing everything through them orange and blue shaders there bro...
OK guys, I'll check back in a bit for anything else

but on a real note @auburn2eugene
I don't really know if lindsey is good or not. I liked him but we were coming off of Mike Norvell who is flat out legit and Lindsey's only year here we were on our 4th string qb by game 6.
So tough to say.
Although we were scoring over 40ppg I think the first 4/5 games. But that included such horrific defenses as Texas Tech (the game that Ballage had 8 tds)

@Pitchfork51 and it's tough to know how much Lindsey we will actually get. He has thrown to the RBs much more than he has at Auburn. Also there was the LSU debacle last season. Gus clearly was in control of the 2nd half of that games play calling running it up the gut 20 straight times after a 1st down.
Gus let's his DC do his thing but is still heavily involved in the offense. Most Auburn fans want to see him just be the head coach, and let his OC do his thing. So far that hasn't really happened. And Gus coached teams usually take 2 or 3 weeks to get things figured out. If history repeats itself, UDub will easily win this game.
I certainly hope that isn't the case this season.

Doesn't have anything to do with this poast, but it does have to do with weak scheduling.
Oklahoma has not played consecutive road games since 2011.
UW will play @ UCLA and then @ Oregon, with Oregon coming off a bye.
Good job Pac-12.

I get losers lose and winners win, but it's criminal to actively put your cash cows at a disadvantage.
The SEC doesn't travel to the West coast because they don't have to. All the money is being slowly choked out of the Pac and Larry Scott is to blame.
It's complete bullshit a 14 team league plays 8 conference games while 10/12 team leagues play 9.
We're getting punked and money talks.

Theres another advantage they have.
Not only do they have a better fanbase that will sell out an extra shit game, but they have more money to pay the shit team to play them AND there are a ton more shit teams in geographic distance of them.
PAC schools need an extra game because:
1. Weak fanbases (won't buy tickets for crap games)
2. Fewer shit FCS/G5 teams out west
3. No money to pay the few shit FCS/G5 teams to play us or fly to play us vs Big 10 / SEC
In short: we fucked.

Evidently the PAC administration has tired of UW bumbling all the big games and wants to ensure that America's favorite PAC 12 team is tanned, rested and ready to retake what rightfully belongs to it.

Probably right. The conference has long favored USC.

Wanted to join and talk a little Kickoff game with you all. My job is based in Seattle though I work remotely, so travel up there quite a lot and love the area. Wish this was a home/home instead of a neutral site as does most of the AU fan base. Also, I'm a Pac-12 after dark junkie with an unnatural disdain for USC (except for the Song Girls....they can stay).
As for the game, I think as other's have said on here it largely comes down to the O-line play on both sides. If our O-line gels quick enough to give the QB time to throw and open some running lanes, then I think Auburn wins by 7-10. If it doesn't and UW's line is able to handle our front 7, then UW wins by the same amount. I believe this game is going to be a defensive slugfest though and likely a pretty low scoring affair.
The one overlooked factor may be the kicking game. We will breaking in a new punter (former Aussie rules football professional player) and a new kicker (redshirt freshman). Both have huge legs, but no idea how they will react to game situations. Traditionally Auburn has had a strong kicking game, but punting lacked last year and the coverage unit sucked giant donkey balls. How does UW look there?
