Gonna have to sell.
I watched parts of the Georgia game again and Fitz is not spreading the ball around very well. Several times where he ignored open receivers trying to force a ball to Gray. He'll get better and Mullen knows how to teach him but Auburn's D isn't much fun to learn against.

Our vertical game is ****.
Fitz isn't hitting anyone unless they are wide open, and our receivers aren't getting open more than 4 yards down the field. We don't have any high level talent in the receiving core, and Fitz isn't a good enough passer to hit guys who are well defended.
I see a repeat of the UGA game coming. We could easily go 9-3 where none of the 12 games are close.

So...we will score 17? Your logic doesn't make any sense. If we get blown out, we will score 17. But...here's the obvious flipside, if we don't score 17, we will get blown out. So, we will score 17.
I'm buying. Auburn is better than Georgia. They will score, A LOT.
We will get some late scores. Hell, we almost scored 10 against Georgia.

What? You're overthinking this. For example, 14-21 is not a blowout and it's not 17 pts for us.
No my logic makes sense. The only way we score 17 is is they come out and stomp our *** like last year and ease up early in the 2nd half so somoone like Mixon gets a garbage touchdown or 2. If our Defense helps us hang around just enough to keep Auburn interested in keeping their 1st stringers on Defense in the game then we don’t score 17. Mullen is only an offensive genius when he has the better team.
Sell .... Mullenz teams have not shown much mental toughness after getting hammered.... we will be ready against the Mormons.
I'd argue the opposite. We've been getting whipped by Alabama and LSU yet have a pretty good recent record vs Auburn and Ark who we typically play the next week.
I got curious and looked it up. Under Mullen, we have been held under 17 points in back-to-back games twice in 8+ years.
2010
Lost to Auburn 17-14
Lost to LSU 29-7
2012
Lost to Alabama 38-7
Lost to Texas A&M 38-13
Then last year, we got held to under 17 in regulation back-to-back one time:
Lost to Auburn 38-14
Lost to BYU 28-21 (14-14 at end of regulation)
So, it would be very unusual although not unprecedented for us to score less than 17. One other thing of note, a Mullen team has never been held to single digits in back to back games.
