I will give you the correct answers to your question regardless of your trolling or my peers opinions. You can take these to the bank. I have insider information and I am much smarter than most of my peers

(1) Gus calling plays "for real"

This is not a concern but a plus. Auburn has always done better with Gus actually calling the plays. Its what he does best

quote:
(2) New Qb(s).

It is always a concern for every team. We dont know what either of these young kids will be like until they are in a live game, fighting for their lives and getting their arse kicked for a few quarters. My opinion? It will take either of them 5-6 games to get comfortable and we just dont have that unless our running game is greatly improved

Now I will give you more concerns that matter

3) - Injuries. We are having a lot of injuries to some key players already in fall practice. We are not extremely deep in some areas and can not sustain many guys getting injured and not playing.

4) Offensive line is just not that talented. Even though they have played together some and they are all seniors, our interior is bad. Tackles are OK but our center is just a big body out there passing the ball to the QB. A Gus offense only works when we have a running game. If that does not happen, the season will be a tough one

5) Schedule. You already know about this. 6 of the top 12 or so teams. There is no break in period

What are ya'lls expectations for the season, and what are you looking for?

Would love to think we can win 10 games. Just not sure about that yet. I think a 9 win season with our schedule would be a decent season. Just too many good teams on our schedule and we will have some new pieces in there.

Is Gus actually on the hot seat, or is that just talk?

Everyyear. Its a dumb thing but if the wheels fall off, he is on the hot seat. If he can win 8 games, he is probably OK. I think firing him for winning 8 or even 7 games this year would be a bad decision but that is just me. I am not much on firing coaches just because the fan base is crying wolf. Thats what Auburn fans do. I call it the "Alabama effect". "Bama is gonna win another one and we aint. Fire the coach". It is the Auburn way
