A Week from Today

A week from today Auburn's 2013 football season will start with a night game at Jordan-Hare against Mike Leach's Washington State.  The Gus Malzahn era begins.

Excitement is high with a new coaching staff.  Expectations seem to be modest.  If only we can have a winning season---something like that.  That's okay since Auburn seems to do best when least expected.

JC transfer Nick Marshall wins the QB job.  We hear good things about the offensive line.  The receiving position is supposed to be thin, the running back position strong led by thousand yard rusher Tre Mason.  The defense is expected to give up points.  We get good vibes from defensive line coach Rodney Garner.  Dee Ford, our best DE, will miss at least the first game.  Demetruce McNeal, our best safety, was dismissed from the team, yet we get good vibes regarding the secondary. 

The line is something like 14.  I'll take a win any way we an get it.
