Several weeks lie between now and the October 31 game in Auburn, and Ole Miss could improve a great deal before then. However, their schedule is about to get a lot tougher and this game could be devastating for a team that had so much hype coming in.
Auburn should be able to move the ball on the OM defense, and it will be interesting to see how the Gus Malzahn-Houston Nutt matchup will play into the game. Certainly Jevan Snead will have better games than the one he had in Columbia tonight, but if Auburn can apply a decent amount of pressure, they can slow him down a great deal.
Either way, it's going to be a huge SEC matchup on Halloween and you never know what could happen. But if they were playing next weekend, I would feel very good about Auburn's chances.
But congratulations to the Gamecocks for their first ever home win over a Top 5 opponent.
War Eagle!!
