Top-ranked Georgia visits Auburn Saturday to renew the Deep South’s Oldest Football rivalry, but the matchup is being overshadowed by games at Duke and Colorado. What in the world is going on in college football?
Part of the explanation is Auburn’s offense looked completely inept in a loss at Texas A&M last week. Welcoming Georgia to town is not a recipe for getting things straightened out.
UAB lost by four touchdowns last week, but the Blazers had a much better week than Auburn or South Alabama.
UAB showed signs of promise in losing 49-21 against Georgia. There were no moral victories for Auburn or South Alabama in its home against Central Michigan.
Alabama fans are a little less on edge after a strong win over Ole Miss last week. The Tide has a chance to build on last week’s defensive dominance with another win against a team from Mississippi.
