I'm going with 6-6 maybe 7-5 if we have a QB that matures quickly. Hopefully the OL will mature and be better than what most think.

I see that game as a toss up with us having the advantage at home. USC and KY are 2 teams we should beat as well as all out of conference teams. I see us losing to LSU Bama Ole MIss and arky 8 wins pssible.Quote:

They have a top 10 class coming in to help. Their questions are at WR and LB moreso than QB I think.
One thing working in our favor is Auburn has to play Clemson, A&M, and LSU before they play us. They could be beat up and/or deflated with a couple losses. On the flip side- the GusBus could be coaching for his job when he comes to Sville.
Beter tell Ole Miss that.Quote:

Everybody has known how to defend it for 60 years, but knowing and having the discipline to do it , are two different things.
I hope we go back to the "Relf" Offense.
All these QB's can throw better than him and it's not as hard for the Oline to run.
Not really. It's all about coming up with new wrinkles. The zone read was a new wrinkle on the option. Now it's old. Freeze has come up with new wrinkles when needed, Mullen hasnt as much so far.Quote:

That's 10 very winnable games. I say we get to 7 comfortably with a chance to get to 8 in the regular season. I'd actually set the U/O at 7.5 for this team.
its not about wrinkles- its about the fact our OL is not getting seams for the RB on the zone play. The Read aspect is no good if the LB's arent really that worried about the TB. Our OL guys are struggling and getting eaten up by the down linemen- unable to get to the 2nd level and block the LB's.Quote:

I see what you are saying, and agre we are going to throw more interceptions, but i dont think it will be as bad as you are predicting. I think this because I just don't think we will throw the ball nearly as much next season. I am thinking 20-26 attempts per game. Fitz won't go out there and have the opportunity to throw the ball 45 times like Dak did this year. I expect our offense to look a lot like it did in 09' with Dixon and Lee. The inexperience will cause Dan to simplify the offense from years past and I think it will help in the long run.Quote:

I want some early vcash odds on the media picking us 7th in the West at media days
I dont think anybody thinks we will lose to SC- but they should be pretty good on D and if we turn the ball over and allow them to keep it close- anything can happen. They gonna try to ugly the game upQuote:

I'll be on the field practicing it Tuesday. Because it works.
We don't have anyone like Jovon Robinson, Carl Lawson or Montavious Adams on our team.Quote:

Lawson is a time bomb though... I'd be much more surprised if he played every game than if he didn't.Quote:

Auburn signed three 5-star DL players to add depth to what was already a damn good DL. They will be sick on the DL in 16. They also return 4 starters on the OL. Auburn is going to be very good upfrontQuote:
