Even Dick Butkus was afraid of Atkins
Watched your vid and then another one that popped up with players discussing him. One guy said that he was at the HoF one year and all the HoFers were talking about Doug Atkins. Said that told him everything he needed to know about Atkins.
From what I saw he was one bad mofo. Proud that he's not only a UT guy but also a Tennessean. The state has always produced great linemen -- both OL and DL -- even when we didn't produce much else in the way of prospects.
Hard to believe Reggie, Doug, and Barnett are all from the same state given how maligned state talent often is.

Austin Allen (will be drafted)
Brandon Allen (drafted)
Tyler Wilson (drafted)
Ryan Mallett (drafted)

Cam Newton alone puts Auburn ahead of all 5 of those bums combined. You have getting drafted and "will be drafted" and making a mini camp as their accomplishment?

Only one of the guys on your list ever made an NFL start. And Mallett only has 8 NFL starts.
Auburn has had a couple really really bad QBs this decade in Jeremy Johnson, Kiehl Frazier, and Clint Mosley and Auburn is still higher on the QBU list than fricking Arkansas.
Auburn has had more 1st round draft picks at QB in the last 15 years than Arkansas has had in it's entire history

Jason Campbell had a better pro career than ANYBODY Arkansas ever put out.
1st round QB-
Auburn: 3
Arkansas: 1
Heisman winning QB-
Auburn: 2
Arkansas: 0
Nick Marshall was better than any of those guys on your recent list as well.
Cam Newton
Pat Sullivan
Jason Campbell
Nick Marshall
Dameyune Craig
Stan White
Travis Tidwell
That list blows away whatever Arkansas can put together.
But claiming Auburn is QBU, because we're not. But neither is Arkansas, recently or otherwise. And Auburn is higher up that ladder than the piggies.

Reggie White is the only SEC pass rusher better than Kevin Greene

Reggie is a motherfricking giant.
Crazy to think about it but Barnett didn't just break Reggie's record. He set his own. He's the only DE to have 10 sacks or more three years straight in SEC history. He's no combine champ but DB's bend was amazing and will give him a real shot in the NFL. First day of practice, his new teammates and coaches were like 'holy shite - that bend!'

IF we're going off of recent history then Ohio State is DBU. Five first rounders in the last four drafts including three last year and several others drafted in later rounds including Vonn Bell in the second round.

Yeah, your clear bias. But that's nothing new on this board
This coming from one of the most biased people on this board.
Btw I think AU's no.2 behind USC in being RBU.
