No. 2 Auburn is set to do battle against No.1 Florida State, in the BCS Title game, Monday night, at 8:30 p.m. ET.

With Auburn, and its number one run offense in the country (335.7 yards/game), going against Heisman winning quarterback Jameies Winston, there's sure to be an offensive firework show.

Florida State will need to focus a large portion of its defensive energy on stopping the three-headed running back monster that is Tre Mason, Corey Grant, and Cameron Artis-Payne. Quarterback Nick Marshall is also a threat since he ran for over 1000 yards this season.

Marshall is a rookie quarterback who only threw for 12 touchdowns this season. Fans can bet that Coach Jimbo Fisher will be stacking the box to try and get him to sling it downfield.

On offense, everything runs through Jameies Winston. He has taken leadership over this team and proven that a bad off-field scandal doesn't affect his play on field. The quarterback threw for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns this season. He can get some things going with his legs, as he rushed for four scores this season. Winston is also excellent in the clutch, as he .762 percent on throws of third-and-ten-plus.

The Auburn Tigers will try to take the ball out of Winston's hands and turn the game into one of dominanting possession time. Their stellar running game has provided them with third-and-short down situations all year. If Auburn's offense can ride on the back of their running talent and dam-like offensive line, one more game, they have a shot at taking down a Florida State team that has beaten every one of its opponents by at least 14 points.

On defense, Auburn has to close the holes in their sieve-like secondary. Coach Gus Malzahn's passing defense is the second-worst in the SEC, giving up 259.3 yards a game. That may not cut it against WRs Kelvin Benjamin, Rashad Greene and Kenny Shaw.

Enstars predicts Auburn controls the line of scrimmage, and the ball, for just enough time to squeak a late comeback win in. With comeback wins against Alabama, Texas A&M, Georgia, and Mississippi State, we think Florida State adds its name to the list.

Final prediction: Auburn 40, Florida State 38
