Auburn vs. Tennessee game time announced

Hey everyone. Everyone who had "night game" in the AU/UT pool is feeling mighty good about things right now.

ESPN has picked up the game and will televise it beginning at 6:45 p.m. CDT on Oct. 3. The game will be played in Neyland Stadium, a large facility that holds lots of fans, and should provide an intriguing matchup.

Tennessee's power-run game could be an issue for the Tigers' defensive front.

Auburn's multi-dimensional offense could be an issue for Tennessee's linebackers.

Jay G. Tate said...: Something to consider for the Arkansas game on Oct. 10:

CBS has a doubleheader that day. That means Fox Sports gets an 11 a.m. game to go along with the regular 11 a.m. SEC Network game.

Here's your SEC lineup that weekend:
*Auburn at Arkansas
*Florida at LSU
*Ole Miss at Alabama
*Tennessee at Georgia
*Houston at MSU
*Kentucky at USC

I predict Auburn will be in one of those early slots that week. That's my hope.; 1:20 PM

Unknown said...: My concern with Tennessee is them wearing out our linebackers. I think we are okay depth wise on the defensive line.

I am counting on us simply outscoring Tennessee.; 1:25 PM
Seanzie said...: That, Steve, is entirely possible.; 1:25 PM
E-Bro said...: Who hates pumpkins?; 1:25 PM
mytommyd said...: I will have to 2nd or third Michael's sentiment about D Adams no-look catch. Definitely one of the greatest catches I've EVER seen.; 1:25 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: UT is going to be able to power run all over us...we just have to score more points, and against Monte im not so sure about that; 1:26 PM
Unknown said...: We could end up playing on ESPNU for Arkansas. I bet sportswriter Tate is getting very sick of night games.; 1:26 PM
wes said...: i thought you were supposed to be unusually optimistic...false advertising; 1:27 PM
michael said...: mytommyd - for real. When you realize where he was in his route when the ball was thrown, it just doesn't get any more precise than that. I know I haven't seen it all, but I have never seen a route like that run even in the pros. Usually timing routes involve quick stops or outs, not skinny posts 1 yard from the back of the endzone. Beautiful; 1:28 PM

Experience matters.; 1:29 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I would pay someone $100 to play an early game on the 10th.

I need an early game there. So badly; 1:29 PM
Unknown said...: Florida's offense isn't the same without Percy Harvey:) They rely too much on Tebow running and without a go to receiver, they had issues.

We will have to be able to pass against Tennessee and FAH may have a good game in that one.; 1:29 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Does ESPN have two night games planned for the Arky / AU game week? If so, I'm fairly sure ESPN gets the next two after CBS, and I would have to imagine we would make the top 4 games that week list. If ESPN only gets one game, then we will be a lock for an 11am time slot.; 1:30 PM
michael said...: I missed the UT game. So all of a sudden they have a for real offense? Because for all our D's trouble, it is hard to imagine they are that far below the level of UCLA.

And I doubt UT and their fans will be as up for a game this year as they were for the Florida game.; 1:30 PM
michael said...: Do you have a fancy dinner party the night of the 10th, Jay?; 1:31 PM
digger4au said...: Jay G. that is a classic KI wonder how he really feels about Tennvols; 1:32 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I fly out of Tulsa at 6 a.m. the next morning.

Fayetteville to Tulsa is 2.5 hours.

If I leave the press box at 1 a.m., you can do the math. It wouldn't be a fun morning.; 1:32 PM
Unknown said...: I really hope Ohio wears out that Tennessee team. Who am I kidding? I wish we played them this week instead of Ball State. Both teams should be rested in two weeks.; 1:32 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: UT can run the ball at least fairly well. Their big problem is passing.; 1:32 PM
Seanzie said...: Why is everyone so worried about UT all of a sudden?; 1:33 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: This is how I see Oct 10:

*Auburn at Arkansas -7:00 ESPNU
*Florida at LSU -3:30 CBS
*Ole Miss at Alabama -7:45 ESPN
*Tennessee at Georgia -8:00 CBS
*Houston at MSU -11:00 am FoxSports
*Kentucky at USC - 11:30 SECNetwork; 1:33 PM
mytommyd said...: Michael, I thought they had two different routes going, until all of a sudden he hits to the inside and the ball is right there. AWESOME!!; 1:33 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: their problem is named C-R-O-M-P-T-O-N.; 1:33 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I want an early game on the 10th too, since I'm going to a concert that night.

UT's D and it being our 1st road game has me worried about the trip up there. I know their passing game is bad, but this team hasn't played on the road yet and definately hasn't played against a D that good.; 1:33 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Ball State @ Auburn could be the most lopsided game I've ever covered.

As far as predictions go, Clubber Lang would say: ``Pain."; 1:34 PM
WarEagleRK said...: UT's running game can control the clock if we don't tackle better, and make that a much shorter game for our offense.; 1:34 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Peter- I agree with that list except flip the Bama/Ole Miss game with the UT/UGA game.; 1:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Jay G,

Even worse than the 73-7 game vs LaMonroe?; 1:35 PM
mytommyd said...: Cause that's what we do Sean :)

I think we get the pleasure of worrying about games until November.; 1:35 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Problem with Tennessee hmmmm UF put up 23 on them...uhhh they ran the ball well on UF...WVU ran the ball amazingly against us...; 1:35 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i hope you're right. you think we hit 70? and if so, does the North EZ scoreboard short-circuit? i think the HD board could handle it, but the North one....BOOM!; 1:35 PM
Unknown said...: I am not as worried about Tennessee as I am Arakansas, even though Arkansas doesn't have a defense. We play them after Tennessee and we will likely be beat up. Arkansas is one of the teams that might match us score for score and our depth issues may come into play then.; 1:35 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i'm worried to death about Tennessee b/c i freakin' live here. my goodness, do i want to beat the snot outta them agai! ok, i had to get that off my chest.; 1:37 PM
Unknown said...: Tennessee's running game is a different monster than WV. WV was all about speed and the added threat of Brown running. I will try not to have nightmares of Crompton running.; 1:37 PM
Seanzie said...: Different sort of problems, Jhag. Apples and Oranges. Florida ran all day over UT, UF's passing game is not that good, and it showed Saturday. I daresay we will matchup better offensively.; 1:37 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I've been looking at Ball State, and they are bad bad bad. I hope to see Caudle getting some meaningful reps early and often in that game.; 1:38 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: oh, True, Eddie. Flip those two. Either way, Jay G's screwed with a sucktastic late postgame trip to Tulsa.; 1:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: with Todd's heel/ankle or adjacent body part wounded, why not see Caudle play the entire game?; 1:39 PM

Michael Owens of Deshler High fame finally made the field and had a game.

Hope it works out for Ark.; 1:40 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: BTW, HABOTN caps are now IN THE MAIL for those who didn't pick them up on saturday. you will have them for the huge BALL STATE matchup this weekend!!!!!!!!!!; 1:40 PM
Harrison said...: I will be in Fayetteville on Oct 10th also. 11:00 games are just terrible for everybody, except idiots. I could handle 2:30; 1:40 PM
digger4au said...: I am worried about the Tenn game, but I worry about all SEC games. I don't think Tenn will bring the intensity to the Auburn game that they brought to the FLa. game. IF the BIG IF we improve on tackling we should win a close game against them.; 1:40 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Sensi,

I was at that La Monroe 73-7 game as well.

Me and a friend of mine tried to get a "Marshall Thornton" chant going when we got down to the goalline late in the game. He carried it once and was stopped before the endzone and someone else scored.; 1:40 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Auburn scored a touchdown on every possession the last time Ball State played in J-H.

Auburn's offense is better now. Ball State's defense is worse now.

Pain.; 1:41 PM
wes said...: thanks scottie...looking forward to my package.

re: living in Kville...i understand your pain, and wish braggin rights galore for you.; 1:41 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: Wes- Next Season :); 1:44 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Scottie,

I'm with you. Living in TN, I don't want to lose to them. Since I live on the corner of TN, GA & AL I really have three teams whose fans all live in this area.; 1:44 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I was at the last Ball State game as well, fun for the first few minutes... then got boring.

I feel better about the UT game than I did the WVU game. UT's running backs are more comparable to Dixon than they are two Devine, we controlled MSU's running game for most of that game.; 1:44 PM
Unknown said...: I would love to see Caudle or Kodi get lots of snaps at QB versus Ball State. We can beat Ball State with the RFYLK offense, but not Tennessee.; 1:45 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: JG with the crowd size humor. nice.

ANOTHER ticket alert: i'm not going to be able to go to the game this weekend. if anyone wants my tickets please let me know. i can't afford 4 straight weekends on the road. bummer. :(; 1:45 PM
mytommyd said...: Thanks Scottie B!!; 1:45 PM

I had no idea he was playing.; 1:49 PM
wes said...: my wife noticed that the WVU fans seemed to be "calling the hogs" at several point during the game. i had another explanation which is inappropriate to post. anyone see this and know what they were actually doing?; 1:51 PM

Commish of Old Pimps said...: Hello all. My boys and I are still drying out from Saturday. It was worth it for that game.

As far as the defensive challenges UT presents, my belief is that they are not in the same league as WVU by any stretch. I think WVU is the best offense AU will face all year.

Go ahead, call me a meshuggana, but barring an injury to that man-child QB and his team of fleet footed smurfs, WVU will win the Big East and dominate the rest of their 2009 opponents.; 1:55 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Comm'r pulling out the Yiddish.; 1:57 PM
digger4au said...: It did look like King Kong and the Brigade of smurffs; 1:57 PM
mytommyd said...: Perhaps they thought they would stirke fear into the hearts of the Auburn faithful with the Gator champ. Evidently they also don't keep up with recent history.

I have no idea what the fans were yelling when they were doing that yelling thing. I just know their band was VERY loud. (I'm a band guy, I take notice); 1:58 PM

digger4au said...: Dropsie THT; 2:00 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: LOL at THT; 2:00 PM
michael said...: Wisner had a block that turned Fannin's big gain into a touchdown. I love how our receivers are blocking down field this year.

As far as UT's running game, I think our d tackles and Bynes are different from what we have been fielding in the past at those positions. I think they will fair much better against a traditional power running game than they did against W Va. In the past, when we had 200 lb middle linebackers, this would not have been the case.

I am more worried about their defense. In the old days, I would have said good D always gets the best of good O. In this topsy turvy world though, I am not sure. I have no idea what to expect in that game.; 2:00 PM
michael said...: Also, mad props to #96 Chris Humphries. On our first kickoff, dude ran down like a mad man and demolished someone. He wasn't even going for the ball carrier. W Va figured it out and then proceeded to knock him down the next couple of kickoffs until he was finally knocked out cold. I hope he is alright.

But I rewound every kickoff and said "Check out 96! Dude has guts!" So I looked up his name, and now I have a warm spot in my heart for him. Go Chris Humphries!; 2:03 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Michael - I loved your 50 lb post earlier today which I just stumbled upon.

And to answer your question, we would have had to use 1,176 footballs per play for each of the 87,000 game balls to have been "official."

Now y'all excuse me while I get back to work. I'm obviously no good to HABOTN anymore. What a failure.; 2:04 PM
mytommyd said...: One thing we know is that the UT practice offense will in no way be able to replicate the speed of our offense. I think a quarter and a half of our offense will have any and every team gasping. It even eventually wore down WVU. And I think it took THEM until the 4th quarter because they get to practice against it; 2:05 PM
michael said...: THT - thanks for crunching the numbers on that one. I knew I could count on you!

(of course, I don't believe in any of these numbers since I have never counted to them before, but that is a whole 'nother deal); 2:11 PM
Jet said...: Gus > Monte.

Monte uses the Tampa 2, but Gus uses the South Beach 3. Works every time,

I suspect Saturday will be canktaculously ugly. Hopefully we can get a 3 TD lead and get the reserves out there. No need to use this game to build a poll resume. Regardless of UT's station in life, we'll get in the poll if we win there. The poll is not my worry.; 2:14 PM
michael said...: These Auburn-W Va highlights from the auburner are hilarious/exhilarating. What a complete video:

michael said...: If you look at my 50 lb post again, you will see that immediately after it, rk said, "I wouldn't care if Warren Moon said the same thing."

Now, he was in mid convo with something else, but I thought it was still pretty fitting and pretty funny. After people tell me something from now on, if they take too long, I will say, "I wouldn't care if Warren Moon said the same thing" and walk away. What a phrase!; 2:18 PM

We're spoiled and won't make the playoffs this year. A lot of the football talent now gets siphoned off to play only baseball at the HS level and it is catching up with us.

Fitzgerald is the Purple Hurricanes(plural).

True enough I suppose, but he neglected to say that MTSU beat Maryland and Southern Miss beat Virginia. No surpise at that last one, but the fact remains that ACC schools have lost to at least four non-BCS schools that I know of, and two of those were 1-AA.

The ACC needs the U to win its next two games against Va. Tech and Oklahome...badly.; 4:57 PM

AU MikeyC said...: FBomb always uses the Racial thing to fire people up, and get a bunch of callers in to sound so stupid.

It doesn't surprise me at all that he is making a big deal out of it.; 5:14 PM
Unknown said...: Wade, I tried. I really did. I just can't care too much about Troop dropping the N word.; 5:16 PM
E-Bro said...: I thought I heard Troop say that, but figured there was no way ESPN would show that (because it was a taped segment) if he really did say that. But yes, it did sound like he used that word.; 5:16 PM

Double your Beasley!!!; 5:17 PM
Unknown said...: Words don't kill people, people do. Context matters too, so will somebody tell Finebaum to please STFU in the nicest way possible.; 5:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well, that only made me feel a wee bit better, but I guess that's better than not feeling a wee bit better.; 5:18 PM
AU MikeyC said...: steve, my thoughts are if the players don't care why should anyone els.; 5:18 PM
coosa said...: I hate night games, I hate espn, not too fond of TN. Oughta be a lot of fun that weekend. I just hope the ARK game doesn't wind up on espnu; that's the only network that carries sec games that isn't HD on DTV.

I'm thinking now that it will be week 8 before we play a ranked team. If you have to beat a ranked team to deserve to be ranked, we may have a long wait. Guess it doesn't really matter.

I think our defense can deal with TN much better than they did WV. I feel much more optimistic today about our season for some reason. I said before the season started that I thought we had better first string players than 8 of the teams we would play. Anybody agree with me now?; 5:23 PM
dan dan the AU fan said...: Which four teams have better players in you opinion?; 5:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I think our D can deal with UT better than WVU, but I think the UT D can also deal with us much better than anyone we've faced yet.

Plus it's on the road.; 5:28 PM
dan dan the AU fan said...: Agreed RK, I would imagine that our defensive plan for UT will be similar to WVU's plan against us. Stop the run and make 'em pass to beat us.; 5:33 PM
dan dan the AU fan said...: Our offensive strategy will be to stay away from #14.; 5:34 PM
E-Bro said...: If UT does stop the run and we have to beat them with the pass, probably gonna be a long night for our offense. I don't want to HAVE to throw to win against Eric Berry and that Tampa 2 secondary.; 5:35 PM
Unknown said...: You crackers need to lighten up on the N-word. It is actually one of the funniest words in the world. Want proof?; 5:35 PM
schofunk said...: If anyone is interested, I'm trying to sell my Ball State, Ole Miss, and Furman tickets. I can't go to the Ole Miss game and really can't afford to travel for the others. Make me an offer if you're interested.; 5:38 PM
WDCWE said...: Jay G, I met a former Advertiser man today. I was in Tallassee Tribune and met with Mr. Kevin Taylor. Auburn Graduate. Good man.; 5:41 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Eddie's Bro,

That's why that game scares me.; 5:42 PM
IV said...: Schofunk,

How many tickets do you have for each game?; 5:46 PM
Anonymous said...: I feel better about our chances to beat Ark than UT. Our offense is as good as UGA and our defense is better.; 5:56 PM
schofunk said...: IV,

I have a pair for each game; 5:56 PM
Unknown said...: At this point I think we are better than Georgia. I also think Arkansas is better than Tennessee, but it would be one of the weirdest games ever. A great offense meets a great defense, while a crappy offense meets a crappy defense.; 6:02 PM
Anonymous said...: Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor were young in that vid...

Would the PC police even allow that vid now?; 6:03 PM
Unknown said...: Probably not. Is is sad because people take life way to seriously these days. It ain't like it's life or death, or maybe it is.; 6:05 PM
WarEagleRK said...: No, I don't think that skit will be allowed today.; 6:05 PM
WarEagleRK said...: So close to turning the page...; 6:10 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I was just looking at SEC statistics. Did you know that Chris Todd has the two longest touchdown passes of the year so far? Of course, we all know they didn't travel too far in the air, but would you have penciled his name in for that or any related statistic at the start of the year?; 6:11 PM
WDCWE said...: Here I go.; 6:12 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: well hurry up; 6:12 PM
WDCWE said...: Turn the page.; 6:12 PM
