We lack depth. We commit too many penalties. We had our most dynamic defender hurt in the spring. I know people look for a magic bullet that explains everything quickly and neatly , but it is a host of things that need to be fixed.

Depth is the issue I want to address because I have discussed it with some of my friends who are on various coaching staffs. Now, I'm not making accusations against Auburn because admittedly I dont know the AU roster by heart. But, the popular conception with HUNH teams is that the head coach will 1) focus more on finding stud offensive recruits and 2) have a greater tendency to move "athlete" recruits to the offensive side of the ball, thus limiting the defensive depth and talent.

Do yall agree with that conception? Are there examples within the AU roster that would fit this idea?

They got this one dude named Nick Marshall that was probably their best safety.

Just glanced at the two deep and I don't see any gaping holes filled with low rated recruits. We have some youth there and higher rates guys not living up to their recruiting rankings.
