2017 Auburn: SEC CHAMPIONS or BUST

quote:

---

What more is needed for Auburn to produce a championship season?

Rhetorical question or naw?

We have everything we need to be a contender this year as far as I'm concerned

We made it to the championship in 13 without the win in Baton Rouge #StiffDew.

Adams will be missed no doubt

We need to figure out how to win somehow in Baton Rouge.

Yes...yes we do.

I'd feel comfortable saying this if:

I could assume( without pinching myself)

- that Stidham is as good as advertised.
- Our DL play stays the same at minimum, improves at best
-Our OL plays better
-Our LB's stay the same at minimum, improves at best
-RB's stay healthy
- Lady Luck shows up once or twice
- Secondary improves (Carlton Davis)
-Coaching improves

That's a lot of assumptions.

- Our DL play stays the same at minimum, improves at best Improvement may be asking too much. So let's assume same
-Our OL plays better Braden Smith staying another year was huge.
-Our LB's stay the same at minimum, improves at best
-RB's stay healthy
- Lady Luck shows up once or twice No good Auburn season is complete without it
- Secondary improves (Carlton Davis) Is it fair to say he regressed in 2016? Hopefully he bounces back
-Coaching improves Assuming STD is the missing link, should make the coaches job easier

That's a lot of assumptions.

Yes, that's a lot of assumptions but it's doable

Even when our offense is clicking, We really just need a serviceable yet balanced signal caller to make it work. The addition of Stidham at the LEAST gives us two guys that fit that mold, and perhaps 1 that goes way above and beyond.
