If Auburn wins, by less than seven points:
we will know that depth is not on our side
this team barely over-matched Louisiana Tech - a team from the WAC
we will not fair well against the upper crust of the SEC.
If Auburn wins, by more than seven points:
the coaching staff and players implemented and executed a sound game plan. We hope they can rinse and repeat that more than once
this team's talent while thin, is still way better than Louisiana Tech - a WAC team
it's a good thing Tubs stuck this game in front of the original season opener - West Virginia.
If Auburn's defense surrenders, less than 350 yards of offense:
that it was a good effort by a thin group.
it may be a long year, but could be a boost of confidence for future games/i]
we probably won.
If Auburn's defense surrenders, more than 350 yards of offense:
every team we play will copy this formula
it's going to be a very long year
we lost.
If Auburn's offense accumulates, more than 200 yards of offense by passing:
Chris Todd's surgery was at least a moderate success
starting Todd was the best option - especially if he gets over 250
someone taught wide receivers how to play - finally
2nd and long and 3rd and long aren't as hopeless as last season.
If Auburn's offense accumulates, less than 200 yards of offense by passing:
Chris Todd's surgery was not a success
our backup QBs must be really bad
we still don't have wide receivers
2nd and long and 3rd and long are not our friends.
If Auburn's offense accumulates, more than 200 yards of offense by rushing:
Ben Tate and the O-Line are finally living up to the hype
we had a lead and were trying to run out the clock
Malzhan is not just a passing guy
or perhaps Chris Todd's arm/solid WR play wasn't there.
If Auburn's offense accumulates, less than 150 yards of offense by rushing:
Ben Tate and the O-Line are not going to live up to the hype
we may have never had the lead and were throwing it a lot more than wanted
we lost the game.
Feel free to add to the above list.
