8-4 should be the expected record for AU this year, prior to their bowl game. That's what Mahlzan has done, on average, as a HC.

What is this TE position you speak of?

I don't think the other fan bases realize we've had only 27 passes to the TE in four years under Lashlee. Glad to revive this position.

Godwin just forgot that Tray Matthews doesn't play for us anymore. We should have that cleared up now.

Well, he's already reversed his long-standing policy prohibiting QBs from working with outside coaches, so I don't think you can say clearly not.

And Auburn is literally better than Georgia in literally every phase of the game.
Stidham being a question mark? That's just what the rant tells themselves to go to sleep at night.
The real comparison for him isn't JJ, because everybody was pumping him up, not just Auburn fans. The comparison is a different JUCO QB of ours who the rant also questioned. They called him Brent Schaeffer 2.0 because "JUCO QBs NEVER work out in the mighty SEC And then he proceeded to break his dick off in the SEC, just like Stidham is about to.

Tbh the real question at QB is Eason at UGA. Until game it's a question mark if he isn't still worthless shite 75% of the time.


QB- Auburn is better than Georgia
RB- Auburn is better than Georgia. Nobody is scared of that hobbled gimp she of his former self Chubb anymore.
WR- Better than UGA
OL- Best in the SEC
DL- Better than Georgia
LB- Better than UGA
DB- Better than UGA
Special team- Better than Georgia
Kicking- literally the best in the entire world!

Literally. Every. Single. Phase.

with probably one of the top Olines this year. if Stindham has any downfield threat, the run game should dominate like 2013(sans QB rushing)

We have some wr's that can ball, hopefully we can get it to them.

On D, our front 7 is my main concern. Should be fairly good, but we are going to need a star to emerge on the line. DB's are legit.

Really like usual, it hinges on the QB. At worst, I think we end up with a similar record to last year or less a game

Well except we have more SECC than you and same number of NCs..

8-4, that's what you guys are looking at until you hire a coach that knows a sweater vest and a visor together make you look like a giant douche.

Last season 100% of catches from our TEs were TDs
Can't get anymore efficient than that.

When was the last time your school accomplished that "giant douche" feat of a conference championship?

You've won 2 in the last 35 years to Auburn's 7 in the same timeframe. Don't live in the past.


Btw. Ironic coming from a fan of a team with Kirby Smart as HC

Is there a reason that you alternate between Georgia and UGA?

Also, this will be great material in case we somehow beat y'all this year, in Auburn, despite y'all being better in every facet of the game.

Best linebacker group since 2004.

Great place kicker.

Should be able to be more balanced run pass wise.

I think we have a shot at a pretty good season. I think our November games will be meaningful.

2 is also the number of times you've managed to beat UGA during the last 11 years.

Auburn is our bitch, your coach is an 8-4 type guy, you are a dumbass.

You've got Kam Pettway and what else?

Stidham is a question mark until game 1 so put him aside. Is it your defense I should respect? Who are the big names? What about receivers? OL is usually above average under Hand and is that expected to continue?


QB - 2 guys that have had proven success but questions around whether or not they can stay healthy and survive a full season. With Stidham we should be able to attack teams vertically again something we have greatly missed after Marshall

RB - Pettway is Pettway. Expect KJ to be used more in passing game. Solid depth now that Whitlow is working at RB as well

TE/FB - Lots of experience here in Chandler Cox and Jalen Harris. Added a receiving threat in Cannella. We will see if we use them

WR - Tons of potential but need to see it translate. Nate Craig-Myers, Darius Slayton and Kyle Davis should give us one of the best WR trios but like I said they need to actually stay on the field and produce

OL - 7-8 guys that can play but concerns at OT position. We have a plethora of interior players but might not have OTs ready. That means best guard (Braden Smith) playing out of position. I think we will be fine up front but might take a few games to find the combo which is scary with Clemson week 2

DL - Need Derrick Brown and Byron Cowart to live up to rankings. Big question will be pass rush. I think we will be strong against the run but need to see if we can get consistent pressure with front 4

LB - Four experienced players plus a strong recruiting class. Deepest we have been in some time

CB - Thin but proven talent at the position. Hopefully Jamel Dean can stay healthy and give us three solid CBs

S - Three seniors who have played a bunch. Should be a strength

ST - Best kicker in football, questions marks at punter tho


Overall, AU has some of the most returning experience in SEC this year. It appears we went out and got a solution to our biggest concern which is QB. Pass rush is the next big question to be answered. I firmly believe this team should be playing Bama for the SEC West in late November but I won't be confident in that until I see it given Malzahn's track record.
