Overly Specific Predictions - Week 9: Ole Miss


Welcome to Overly Specific Predictions. During this segment I will look ahead to Auburn's upcoming game and throw out five predictions as to what we will see both on and off the field. These aren't your usual predictions; they will be needlessly specific and random. They will probably be horribly and ridiculously wrong, but that's the beauty of the Internet: no repercussions.

Prediction I
Auburn won't have much trouble running the ball, but Gus Malzahn will try to flex the passing game's muscle a bit more this week than we've seen recently. Auburn will gain 350 yards on the ground and 200 through the air.

Prediction II
Zac Etheridge won't get a chance to make a solo tackle on Rodney Scott, but he will be seen helping him up after a play, which will delight the commentators and both fan bases.

Prediction III
Cam Newton will be responsible for 1 turnover. Jeremiah Masoli will be responsible for 3.

Prediction IV
Ole Miss will score a touchdown late in the 4th quarter, but the game will already be out of reach by that point.

Prediction V
Someone in the crowd will be wearing a Cam Newton / Superman mashup Halloween costume. I'm guessing a simple Cam jersey with a cape, but I really want to see Clark Kent with a #2 poking out from beneath the button down shirt.

Final Score
Auburn 42
Ole Miss 31

Look for the predictions recap on Monday evening!
