Well folks this auburn team is a powerhouse, a perfect example of power football at it’s best. With 2 great tackles, a great full back and a great kicker. Throw in 2 very good ends, 2 very good guards and a very good blocking center. Their other backs and receivers are good blockers who occasionally catch short passes and carry the ball about 1/3 of the time. Their quarterback is very good handling the football and is accurate on short passes, seldom throws deep unless to James. Seldom intercepted and takes care of the ball.

But this team’s game is running the fullback between the ends and make you stop it defense.

Auburn with those 2 all American tackles is tough to run on inside, their ends are hard to get outside of, their linebackers close well and try to crowd the line and their corners support the run well. In short this team will be hard to run on

This will be a great exhibition of power football against against a well balanced offense like we ran against ole Miss. Auburn has more power than ole Miss but not as much overall speed.

It will take an effort like we had against ole miss to come out on top in this one.

Game Rules

#1–take care of the ball don’t short field our defense.

#2–execute–execute–execute

#3–no penalty’s

It is my opinion that this will be a low scoring game played in the heat of the afternoon with a late field goal being involved in the outcome. Whether that field goal is successful or not will decide the winner.

We need this game bad. It will be a test of endurance and hopefully our tackles play well and offset auburn’s 2 big horses.

The wrap Auburn game

The Auburn game was 2 well matched teams offensively but with totally different offenses on a hot afternoon in Birmingham. Auburn ran inside mostly because they could since their line was a great blocking line, anchored by 2 great tackles, with a great fullback to run behind that great line–they lacked a lot of speed at their receivers so they were not deep threats except for James a burner.

Kentucky had to run a more rounded offense because of those 2 big Auburn tackles which pretty much sealed things up inside. Sure we ran inside some, we didn’t gain a lot of yardage there but we had to keep them honest inside. We also threw a lot on first and second down. Ran some on third down just to keep auburn’s defense off balance.

Both teams played great football on both offense and defense with Auburn scoring late in the first quarter and Kentucky in the middle of the second quarter. 7-7 at halftime.

Auburn scored late in the third quarter and Kentucky scored early in the fourth quarter with both teams driving a long way to score.

Late in the game auburn drove down just short of Kentucky’s 20 yd line. Kentucky called time out and got a blow, talked things over. We put a rush on auburn’s qb and fb and got a couple of stops. Auburn then completed a short pass well short of first down and attempted a 38 yd field goal which was wide. Kentucky got the ball but time ran out before we could score.

14-14 tie. 2 very good teams.

Mississippi St. is coming to town next week end. This team has won their last 3 games after losing their opener to Florida. This is a dangerous team, especially offensively. They have a sprint out quarterback that throws on the run or pitches out to speedy backs that can get outside. Their quarterback also keeps the ball and runs with it very well, but he is most dangerous throwing the ball down field. Totally different from Auburn

Our defense will be tested our offense should be able to move the ball on this team.

Our game plan is to play run pass defense and execute–execute–execute and of course take care of the ball.
