A-Day Game

Tomorrow will be Auburn's anual A-Day game at Jordan-Hare Stadium. It has been said that it will be a passing circus. They have the quarterback job down to two people now. They are; Kodi Burns and Chris Todd. The job will probably not be settled before spring is over, but how they do tomorrow will help the coaches with the decision. Running backs, on the other hand, will be mostly held out. Brad Lester and Ben Tate will come in shortly before heading back to the sideline. The game will kick off at 1 pm, and will be aired on CSS at 6 pm tomorrow. This game is making me want football to be here. I can't wait for the season to start. That's all for today............ WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spring Practice Update

There is a lot of things going on at spring practice this week. With spring break coming up, they had a half scrimmage just the other day. All of the scholarship runningbacks have been held out, so practice has been focused around the quaterbacks. The defense has been working up a good pass rush to see how the they could handle it. Apparantly they handled it pretty well, cause they came through with 8 touchdowns. Chris Todd finally got well enough to practice. He was 17-25 for 168 yards and 3 touchdowns. He says he still can't throw like he should. Neil Caudle was 10-14 for 142 yards and 3 touchdowns. Kodi Burns was 7-9 for 122 yards and 1 interception. This was only a half scrimmage with 100 plays. That's all for today. WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spring Practice Update!

Spring practice has been going on for about a week now and the quaterback job already has a leader. That leader is Kodi Burns. Chris Todd was out with a shoulder injury and freshman DeRon Furr was looked at as more of a runner. That left about 30 passes a piece for Burns and Neal Caudle. Coach Tony Franklin said that Caudle was pretty good too, but Burns has the early lead. On the defense, Linebacker Josh Bynes really stood out. He is tall, long arms, and is very physical. Those are traits that a middle linebacker needs to have. That's about all for spring practice.



Doug Sergest is doing an SOS playoff for teams in the past 12 years. After a couple of rounds, 2004 Auburn was matched up with the 1998 Florida Gators in the semifinal. The SOS is basically a computer simulation that plays out the games. It was Auburn's time to shine and they went in and beat them 32-7. Ronnie Brown was the MVP after he and Cadillac Williams combined for 208 yards. Auburn is set to face off with the 2001 Florida Gators for the SOS championship game.
