Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Should be a good one! Quote Link to comment
Lawrence Phillips Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Tough game, will we see the Auburn that beat Florida and LSU or the Auburn that looked mediocre against Georgia and Arkansas, there are easier matchups that is for sure. Quote Link to comment

huskerfan17 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 ive heard the cotton bowl stadium is a dump. i dont understand that because then why would oklahoma-texas play there? Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 This should be a good game for us!!! I hope we take it to them and go into the offseason like we did last year. GBR!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
hskrdedhed Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I would have gone to Glendale for the game because there is alot to do recreationally in Arizona, but Dallas Texas is a dump. I will be watching the game from home this time. Quote Link to comment
Huskrz65 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Auburn, just as I thought. http://www.huskerboard.com/forums/index.ph...st&p=142568 Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I am very excited to play an SEC team. I have always wanted a shot at Auburn, in particular. After all the pouting that Tuberville has done this year, it would be nice to show them that the Big XII is a tough conference as well. Quote Link to comment
Lawrence Phillips Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 They key for us will be to put pressure on Brandon Cox, he has been very inconsistent when pressured this year. Good for us since pass rushing is our forte. Offensively we will have our hands full they sport a pretty good defense but they typically do not see the kind of offense we have and that might play out. Lots of short passes underneath should loosen them up a bit. Quote Link to comment
HuskerExpat Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 ive heard the cotton bowl stadium is a dump. i dont understand that because then why would oklahoma-texas play there? my guess is that it is a dump because they only play two games there a year. texas vs. oklahoma and the cotton bowl. not a lot of money to go back into the stadium from just two games...

huskerdude171 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 If their D isn't as good as OU's, then I think they could win this game. OU is actually 12-1 cause they got robbed by the refs. They could easily be playing for the MNC if that didn't happen. Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 If their D isn't as good as OU's, then I think they could win this game. OU is actually 12-1 cause they got robbed by the refs. They could easily be playing for the MNC if that didn't happen. Auburn's defense, like much of the SEC, is small but exceedingly fast and quick. Makes them vunerable to a power run game, which is pretty much all Arkansas is. However, it also means that they tend to be able to get to the quarterback pretty well on pass plays. So, ideally, we should see a steady does of the run, with some quick, three-step drop passes from our offense. Auburn shouldn't be able to run on the Huskers. There is not a defense in the SEC that's built like the Huskers - SEC defenses tend to be fast but undersized. That means that we can expect to see a lot of passing. Well, hell, I guess everybody would take that route with the Huskers this year... All-in-all, a winnable game. Quote Link to comment
