Here We Go Again

The 2012 college football season is upon.  Auburn will be trying to improve on last years 8 & 5.  I can only be cautiously optimistic given the new coaches and so many new players on the field.

The offensive line is so young.  Reese Dismukes hurt the team by getting suspended.  We can only hope that Tunde Fariyike can do the job at center.  Redshirt freshman Robinson and true freshman will start in that offensive line.  The only senior is John Sullen.

We have a realitively untested QB who attempted only 12 passes last year.  Mike Dyer is gone and except for McCalebb it will be running back by committee I suppose.

The strength of this team has to be the defense.  Only 2 or 3 seniors will start but everybody has played.  I hope we have a strong front 7. We are led to believe we have depth.   I think the key will be the defense.

We have new coordinators.  We shall see how they work out.

I have no idea how good Clemson will be.  All I know is that they came from beind last year turning a 21 to 7 deficit into a 38 to 24 win.  They run the Gus Malzahn offense.

I've learned not to have expectations and just wait and see what happens.

READY FOR FOOTBALL!

I am ready!  On Saturday, we have Auburn and Clemson, plus Michigan and Alabama.  On Thursday, we have South Carolina and Vanderbilt.  Kick it off now.
