How Tigers Beat Dogs

  Flip the conversation today. Allow me to look at this from Auburn's point of view. What are the Keys to an Auburn victory? Let's take a quick look.
   Key #1: As I mentioned in the scouting report, the Tiger's veteran OL has a match-up advantage across the board on the 'Dogs DL. Auburn wants to run it. And Cam running the Zone Read play has been unstoppable. Run it some more. But one key would be to get Dyer involved early. Grantham's plan will be focused on slowing Cam. Dyer could have a big day, if he gets the touches. Feed him early. And mix in the deep shots, once the run is established, and the 'Dogs start to overplay the run.
   Key #2: Roof needs to be aggressive with his defense. Put 8 in the box on run downs. Come after Murray in passing situations. Get Washington & Thorpe some help with A.J. Green. Make someone else beat you. Playing soft zone only helps the 'Dogs offense get cranked up. Be aggressive and maybe you force some turnovers. 'Dogs can't win doing that.
