.....And the one I worry about is that massive, shifty, vicious end Ole Miss has: Greg Hardy. That guy looks like Quentin Groves on growth hormones. Hopefully, our young guys can deal with him. Tyrone Green sure handled Dorsey, for the most part! They move Hardy around a LOT! Finding him, and scheming against him will be a must!

.....Bama's guy D. J. Hall is a problem. We've got no one who can stay with him. Heck, he was open a lot last year, and Wilson couldn't hit him deep. And Keith Brown is hard to cover, too. Fortunately, Brown drops a LOT of balls. If Wilson, Brown and Hall are on this year, we'll be in a lot of trouble on defense.

.....J. P. Wilson had a great game, and hit his receivers against Tennessee. LSU did it to us. You can roll up a huge score if that stuff is working. The onus is on the Muschamp defense to keep that from happening, Thanksgiving weekend. Same could be said for Stafford and the UGA Bulldogs. They pretty much tore our secondary up last year...

.....I've disparaged the talent on Bama's defense repeatedly this year, and they keep stopping folks. That worries me. The Bama defensive coaches have really worked a miracle. Oh, we SO much need Brandon Cox to be on, and guys to catch it. Billings will, that much is clear. Rod Smith can, but doesn't always. Dunn, Trott and Hawthorne need a winter, spring and summer with three hours a day of ball-cannon work.

.....I still say we should try Chris Slaughter in the slot on obvious passing downs. He might get broken in half over the middle, but we need to try him some in the next few games. We've GOT to catch that slant over the middle on third down. They've run the 5 yard hitch to Slaughter a few times, and he's brought every one in cleanly. Let him work.

.....I also hope, if we build a lead, that they let Kodi Burns try to run an actual offense. You know, one with more than two plays, and some actual passes. Past two games, when he comes in, he takes the shotgun snap, does the happy-feet dance for a second or two, then sprints out of bounds for no gain. Doesn't even hardly run the clock. That's a waste of a redshirt year, there. We could let Fannin do that. He was a high-school QB. At least we haven't had any turnovers out of Burns, the past two games, I suppose.

There's nothing more you can say. That about sums it up! Well said Jay!

The media frenzy in the wake of the Bama victory over a Jekyl/Hyde Volunteer team stirred up the Tubs to ATM rumors again. That's all they got--and they're practicing for when Saban drops his first to Auburn--that Tubs is leaving.  He's seen the writing on the wall.  He can't compete with Nick in recruiting, so he better just get the hell out of Dodge after Nick spots him this first game...  haha

We played LSU real well in Red Stick.  Let's see how Bama fares against them in T-Town on Nov 3 and see how the Bama media distorts the results.

Most LSU fans online seem to be of the opinion that they dodged a bullet last Saturday.  They were thinking they'd just steamroll us.

I don't know about you guys, but I never think of Athens as a road game.  I've been to 7 games in Sanford Stadium going back to 1985 and I've only seen one loss for us.  It's a closer drive for me, and the Georgia fans are always cool.  And they will tell you, no team brings more fans to Athens than Auburn does.  

We get pretty loud all cramped in our end-zone section--it's always a good time.  Think I might head over there this year.  Anyone else planning to road trip it?
