Julio Jones has a chance for a big game...If Greg McElroy has the time.
Iron Bowl Prediction Pick 2010, Auburn vs. Alabama
This is it. The game it’s all been boiling down to. 11-0 Auburn at 9-2 Alabama. If you think that people don’t believe that Alabama has a real shot to take this game down? Well, the fact that Vegas currently has Auburn as roughly a 4 point dog is proof that people are thinking upset.
Am I one of those people? Well, no matter how much I’d love to see the Badgers infinitesimally slim national championship chances grow? I can’t trust Alabama.
Not to say that this is going to be one of those games where Auburn’s going to turn on the jets and pull away for a win of a 52-31 ilk, Alabama’s defense is too good for that. But that being said? There’s a big problem with Alabama’s offense that should worry Bama.
And his name is William Vlachos.
A part of the reason why I looked so dumb as to the whole premise of Alabama beating LSU was the performance of LSU defensive tackle Drake Nevis. Him being a disruptive force on the defensive line never really allowed Alabama to get untracked offensively. Add to that some trademarked Les Miles trickery? And Alabama disappeared from the national title picture.
In whole, Alabama is poor on the offensive line with any sort of a defender that could generate a pass rush. And with a man who acts as if he enjoys hurting people in Nick Fairley, Vlachos must have success if Alabama is going to stay alive.
Because no matter the consequences of Cecil Newton’s actions? Cam Newton is a force of nature. This season he’s been beyond defensive schemes and talent on several occasions. And when you consider that his nearest Heisman contender has found himself in the same sort of illegal benefit kerfuffle?
This is an opportunity for a signature game. This is an opportunity for a game where Gus Malzahn is going to attempt to take Robert Lester out of the game with a three pronged running attack with as few passes as necessary. And put it this way. If Cam Newton doesn’t get Marcell Dareus to be a responsive Nick Fairley?
Auburn’s one step away from a title shot. Auburn 37, Alabama 31.
