Comments

This game could be an upset special if Auburn isn’t in the right frame of mind. Hopefully, they’ve gotten over the rally to beat Oregon. This is a trap game if there ever was one. I think Auburn wins but this could a really wild game. Tulane has some talent, not as much as Auburn but they have guys that can play. The Tigers had better not overlook ’em. Greenies don’t like Tigers.
