Spring Practice

Spring practice has been scheduled to start two days earlier than originally thought. That day is next Tuesday. That means we are finally about to have something to talk about. The main question is who will win the QB job. My guess at just from what I know is Kodi Burns. He looked pretty good during the time he played in the Chick Fil'a bowl. Tony Franklin doesn't say that though. He says they are all on an equal playing field and anyone can win the job. Another question Franklin has is who will come through as the go-to receivers. No one knows how these things will come out, all we can do is wait and see. That's all for now. WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rule Changes Proposed by NCAA Rules Committee

The NCAA rules committee has proposed a couple of changes. There are a couple of them, one of which OC Tony Franklin does not agree with. I thought I would inform you of a couple of them. Remember these have not been passed yet. Here they are: The play clock will be 40 sec. starting at the end of the play, instead of a 25 sec. play clock starting when the ball is marked ready for play. The play clock would remain at 25 sec. after a change of possession. Coach Franklin likes this rule, because it would allow Auburn's new spread offense to keep the defensive linemen in their stance longer, and try to tire them out. Another one is that when you go out of bounds, the clock will start back when the ball is marked ready for play, instead of when the ball is snapped. The rule would not apply in the last 25 sec. of each half. Franklin does not like this one, he made this statement, "I don't think I like that one, there are a lot of out-of-bounds plays. That's going to take plays out of the game." I just thought I would share these with you all in case you haven't heard about them. That's all for now. WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!

No Big News is Good News I guess

This is why I never got a personal Blog--- atleast during football off-season I have a good excuse-- there's not much to write about. Oh yeah here's one bit of news. Alabama may win a "recruiting national championship". LOL... Judging by the way they count championships this may make number 14 for them. Sevenly will be heavenly!
