Like you, I have married into enemy territory as the in-laws are all FSU fans. It’s a great excuse not to visit - until the Bowden picture is removed I refuse to stay there.

Sounds like you hit the main point early. Their lines just look better than ours which has me very concerned. But I’ll be in my seat at the Swamp with my son and my dad - it’s the boy’s 13th birthday hope the Gators give him a gift.

I agree that the swamp will play a part. We showed up for LSU last year and we'll show up Saturday.

Excellent preview. Do you and the wife have a friendly wager going down? Does she share your views of the game?

I'd be mighty nervous if I were Auburn. I think we match up well against them. I worry about #5 disrupting and taking over the game. I see turnovers as the only path to us losing this one.

Great Preview Ox. I kinda feel the same way you do about this one. I asked myself after watching the MSU game against Auburn....what have they done (MSU spotted them 21 in the first 5 min, what did they do at aTm and that's not a great team. We'll have to bring all those facets to the Swamp and I will be there to do my part. The feeling I get is Ole Piss from a couple years back. This could be a great one.

Nice podcast though I think you are bit too optimistic on the score. I anticipate a closer score (though would love it if you were correct). Here's the real question: Who is Mrs. Ox picking? As you noted, she is quite the college football guru.
I re-watched the Towson game last night (OK, I fast forwarded a lot) and confirmed my opinion from watching in person that we were a little flat, especially on D. In the first half the tackling was pretty atrocious. I have to believe it will be better this Saturday; if not it will be a long day.

Your perspective is totally a possibility. But there are a lot of possibilities with this game. Bunch of question marks everywhere on both teams even after both have played 5 games. Gus is a wildcard and sometimes he gets things going in games that has the other side having no clue of which way is up. But sometimes he gets himself not knowing which way is up.

You talk about our OL inability to block for run plays, which is one of our biggest concerns (if not biggest), but I think our DL inability to defend the run is a huge factor against Auburn.

I have no clue what will happen Saturday.

Good podcast. I agree with your assessment in most areas. Think this game comes down to Gators stopping the Auburn run and turnovers. If our DL and LB show up big I think we'll be in good shape. I expect the best crowd of the season and an amped-up, motivated Gator team.

Hope your score prediction is right (so does my wife and my heart), but I'd be happy with a 1 point win ala Clempson this past week.

Go Gators!!

Good podcast Aaron. I don't give a crap about the uniforms, but I've never cared for the look of the white helmets. I like our orange helmets with the Gators script. I just think they're the best looking helmets in the country. Why change that? Anyway, the uniforms won't help our Gators win or lose. It's their preparation and attitudes that will. Hopefully Mullen makes it clear to them that they're going to have to fight, bite and scratch for 60 minutes to win this one. Our front 7 should keep Nix rattled if they can hold him in the pocket and not let him keep getting lose on them like that Towson QB early in the game (looking at you Moon). Gotta tackle well and try to limit their running game. If we can put Nix in a position to have to throw. I think that'll work to our advantage. The key is stopping or limiting their run game imo.

I listened.

Appreciate your enthusiasm, but feel like it'll be a closer game then that.
I do however agree if we jump out to a big/decent lead then Nix will make some mistakes and it can get ugly quick with some turnovers. TO's need to be pick 6's or scoop & scores.

Thanks for taking the time, and a week not having to listen to the Mrs. can't be that bad, right?

Good podcast from Ox who obviously knows as much about Auburn as anybody on the board.

Nobody’s talking about the kicking game and special teams. A key match up could be Christian Tutt and Freddie Swain.

Ox, it sounds like you have a great wife. Hope everything is going well. My wife is also a big college football fan but not on the level of yours.

Here’s a guy I’d like to introduce your wife to.

We’ve got not only Zuniga & CJ back but also Miller, who’s been banged up and out. Nix doesn’t scare me at all. I think Tom Flacco is a better college QB. If we contain, we win. We WILL be able to run the ball some and we WILL throw for 250+.

Good podcast but you missed an opportunity to do a "He says. She says." with your wife. Mainly, GatChat would have LOAO when she permabans you on the air. 20 out of 200,000, now I know why you married the gal.

Florida has 24 sacks, which is only 1 less than the most in the nation. Florida has taken away 13 turnovers, which is also only one off the national lead. We need to continue this trend by forcing Auburn and Nix to pass the ball and get some sacks and turnovers. That's how we beat this team. Gotta stop the rush and make them throw then make them pay.

Hopefully you are correct and we crush those hillbillies. My wife is also an Auburn girl. So what if she wont talk to me for a few days. I'll just rub one out. It's the champagne of victories.
