Center Casey Dunn, left guard Mike Horton and right tackle Darius James were all dressed out and participated in a "limited fashion," coach Gus Malzahn said Wednesday. Dunn and Horton missed last week's game against Arkansas, while James was carted off with a leg injury in the second half. "So far, so good," Malzahn said. "Everybody's out there with their pads on and all that, but we're going to be extremely smart with them this week."

Pretty crazy that James has been carted off the field twice this year and neither time did it turn out to be a serious injury.

Getting both Dunn & Horton back would be big. We are at out best this year when Golson is at LT & Dunn is at C

Agreed. Think they lead the nation in sacks with 28 (or something like that).

Maybe he is a little dramatic? Dunno, glad that he isn’t seriously injured though

That's pretty impressive considering how big of a head start we gave Clemson during week 2.

So there is a strong chance we could finish the year #1 in both sacks and sacks allowed.

Clemson DL is overrated as shite except thier game against us. 11 of 25 came from our game.

What does that say about our O-line? I disagree. They have two future NFL first rounders on that D-line.

They aren’t over rated, but our game plan helped them out tremendously.

That's also exactly half of our sacks allowed.

Horton/Golson/Dunn/Smith/James appears to be our best OL combo. Would be nice to have them all at or near 100% the rest of the way.

Don't disagree with you. Our defensive backfield does not look as formidable as when they were playing.

They have averaged 3.4 sacks/game in the 5 games after AU

Auburn has averaged 2.5 sacks/game in the 6 games after Clemson

A great pairing with our ‘offensive genius’ coach.

They really should only have had 4-5 sacks against us. Some of those sacks Stidham was holding the ball 6-7 secs
