"I think Sean White's injury, depending on what that is — they haven't been very forthcoming with what it is — was a bigger deal," Rowe said. "But Auburn's a good team. ... If they are healthy for that Alabama game, I think you're going to see a different offense."

...
Though Alabama will certainly be a heavy-favorite in the game, Rowe said she's not exactly sure Auburn will be a pushover despite its crushing loss to Georgia. The Tigers' strength on the defensive line is a big reason why it could be closer than many think.

"There's a part of me that thinks it could be a good game," Rowe said. "I believe in Auburn's defensive front. I think they're good, they're stout. ... But the offense has to get first downs. When you're hurrying-up and you don't convert and get a first down, your defense really suffers. That's a unique thing about that system that they run.

"Alabama's defense has proven to be pretty difficult to get a first down against, so I would stay with Alabama until proven otherwise. But Auburn has the pieces. It's a matter of 'do they put those pieces together against Alabama.'"

Okay, ...
