"Pound Puppies," I love it.
Seriously, though, Auburn is one of the harder-to-predict teams in the preseason (as is LSU, for that matter), in relative terms. Why? Tony Franklin.
Tuberville was always one of the greatest coaches in the nation (if not the very best) at finding ways to win without actually scoring many points on offense (it's not such an easy thing to do).
Franklin coached Lorenzen, Couch, and Bonner, at Kentucky, and made them into a competitive team even when their defense blew big time. So you have to admit, Franklin has the potential to eventually push Auburn into the national elite, since offense was always the missing ingredient for Tuberville's Tigers.
Really, I'm surprised Franklin is not getting more attention right now.
