well my thoughts are that both games are on the road. All 3 teams have new head coaches. These are all critical games for the home team and I still home field advantage will play a major role. however, after reading your analysis I would move them to Toss up games. I think Au has better talent coming back then both of those teams but winning on the road in the SEC is going to be hard for the Aldi's especially considering the dumpster fire of the season that they had last year but Arkansas and Tennessee add dumpster fire season goes well so I will change them to toss up games.

f*** you Talk to text app!

I'm gonna hold off on including UGA with the other two. They should be loaded to bear this year because of a senior laden team, but we'll see about the next year.

That game against WSU is scary, imo. Leach's boys have a year now in the system and he has a couple of NFL prospects on the oline, which WSU hasn't had in awhile. Auburn hasn't looked particularly good in pass defense when I've watched them the past couple of years.

He's also facing the chance of having to start 4 out of 5 walk-ons at offensive line.

That that is classic Leach trying to flame the fire of the schollie players. That guy does not show his cards.

So, one walk-on has NFL potential?

If it wasn't at AU, I'd be worried. I think we win by @13.

No, as I alluded to earlier this is pure gamesmanship by Leach. Fullington and Rodgers are listed as prospects for 2014 and 15 respectively at tackle and guard respectively. Most speculated that both would be left off the starting lineup based on knowing that Forbes was definitely playing with the first team and always on scholarship. Btw, most of the four walkon are former walkons and awarded schollies in prior years - that was missing in towels post. However, understanding Leach's reticence, I would take zero from his post spring comment to the media. The guy holds his cards tighter than Chip did.

USU a couple of years ago .

I wouldn't want Oregon to play that game at home for the first game of our season. WSU has always been a fricking pesky little team. I wouldn't want my offense working out the wrinkles against them.

Btw, I pick AU to win the game. Just wouldn't want that as my opener.

Bosch and Ecklund played a lot of snaps. It's not like they are returning few starts and using walk-ons with zero starts nor is it due to injury. Btw, four walk ons former or current will not lineup as starts against AU. Context is king.

"It's a New Day" I know this because I saw Malzahn say this on a video.

See here it is again. It's everywhere. SEC Fuccccckkkkedd, so is WSU.



He is also a tall coach and has teeth. I feel confident.
