1. Auburn has proven that we are not an away team. We do not play very well in hostile crowds. USC will be a big test right off the bat.

2. Lack of leadership. Auburn lost a tremendous amount of leadership after the 2000 sec west champ team left. last year they struggled to find a leader and as a result, faltered in some big games.

3. new offensive and defensive game plan. as you will note, i mentioned this in both my 5 reasons why posts. its bad because it will be an adjustment of the way they learned the first few years. offense will suffer more with the adjustment than defense.

4. the team's frame of mind is still lingering from the affects of starting the season 6-1 and then dropping 4 of the next 5. if this team gets down early, could be a long year.

5. lack of a wr that has college experience. Auburn could play up to 4 or 5 true freshmen at the wr spot. this cant be a good sign. esp in big games.

Sounds good to me

Well I hope it isn't so.... it could be a long season in my household if my Sooners challenge for the title and my GFs War Eagle gets shot down right after take off. Good Luck Tigers and I hope your season goes well!!!

now now....I wouldn't say they're going to have a bad year

There is a lot of potential on Auburn...Cadillac, Ronnie Brown, Jason Cambell, etc.

I think if Ronnie and Cadillac can get something going, I think if the running game is good, it makes it that much more easier for Cambell and the WR's...

I think Auburn has a chance at Top 25... and I think they will finish with a .500 or better record...

Its Auburn! Auburn has a great tradition, and I promise they will have a good year....just watch
