Here are a couple of headlines in Alabama newspapers today re: the Auburn/Buffalo game….

Mobile Register: “Auburn Catching Its Breath”

Huntsville Times: “Auburn’s Intensity Levels Off: Seven-TD Favorite Tigers Try To Heal Up As Buffalo Arrives”

Now Auburn isn’t a 7 TD favorite (they’re 40.5), but that hardly sounds like an Auburn team geared up to blow the doors off of Buffalo. Then again, this is a Buffalo team that scored exactly 3 points at home in regulation against Temple a few weeks ago. Auburn’s backups may be good enough to stretch out their lead to cover that spread.
