Based on experience, Auburn has no qb at the moment. Also, their tailback is not an every down back (McCaleb). He was their change of pace back until Dyer was dismissed. If they can't throw and can't run that is a problem.
However, Auburn will win the line of scrimmage and Clemson's offense starts this season the way they finished last season - poorly. There is no reason to think it should go otherwise as the same skill people return to the same offense that got figured out halfway through the season, only now Clemson has less experience on the o-line.
I hope Auburn wins but it will likely go down to the wire. I don't know which team has the better kicking game but that may be the difference.
Auburn 21
Clemson 20
