Mike G (2:43)

We are back with another great edition of Forth & Fore Episode 3, Kyle. Back out here at the Auburn University Club. This segment is brought to you by our friends at Kalshi, America's number one prediction market.

What do you predict we're going to do today?

Kyle Rush (3:00)

Well, we got to do better than we have the last two times. So we don't want it to become who we are. We got to get better. We got to shoot better than, we want to shoot even par.

Mike G (3:10)

Even par? Let's go for even par.

Kyle Rush (3:12)

That'd be better than the last two rounds.

Mike G (3:14)

I want to see Auburn Football do better this weekend versus Tennessee. First SEC road test of the season.

Kyle Rush (3:20)

Yeah, I need that. I'd love to have a signature win for Alex Golish early in his career. And I know this one's going to mean a little bit extra to him. Hey, I've been seeing weather looking a little sketchy.

Mike G (3:32)

Yeah, yeah.

Kyle Rush (3:33)

It feels like that might.

Mike G (3:34)

That good or bad?

Kyle Rush (3:35)

That might play in Auburn's favor.

Mike G (3:37)

Yeah, if we were running the ball better.

Kyle Rush (3:41)

But it's going to force Byrum to have to run the ball more.

Mike G (3:44)

OK, that's fair. That's fair. And hopefully for the young freshman Faison Brandon, it means they can get after him a little bit, maybe force him into some mistakes here, you know, in his own house. So I thought Auburn did a good job, all things considered on Jared Curtis. It's clear to see why he was a five-star quarterback. I mean, he's very, very talented.

But everybody's got talent. It's the SEC. So I'm hopeful, I think, more hopeful this week than I was going into last week, because Florida looks like, they look like a playoff contender.

Kyle Rush (4:20)

They look like one of the best teams in the country. They seem complete.

They're good enough on defense. They're really good on offense. Buster Faulkner has that offense humming. And they get their playmakers involved and let them do the work. And they don't ask too much of Aaron Filo. So they've been impressive. But that, again, that makes you feel at least a little bit better at the results.

Mike G (4:46)

What do you make of Golis's comments about the offensive line and it kind of being an ongoing project? I mean, they did protect well versus Vanderbilt. The numbers support it. They had a good day protecting Byrum Brown. But I think they got to get better at run blocking here. That's the only thing that's really concerning me.
