Barret Trotter Could Play vs. West Virginia

Kodi Burns will go into the West Virginia game as the no. 1 quaterback on the tiger's depth chart. He will get the start. I don't know if Chris Todd will play at all. Tommy Tuberville seems to be in desperation mode. Last week, he fired Tony Franklin in mid-week. This week he is going to talk to Barret Trotter and family to see if it is ok if he takes off his redshirt and plays him next Thursday vs. West Virginia. I know Tubs is searching for an answer to the offensive woes we have seen the past couple of weeks, but is it worth taking the redshirt of a future player? In my opinion, this season is all but in the dumps, before he takes off the redshirt, put in Neil Caudle and see what he can do. When a coach shows that he is desperate, he will lose his team. When a coach loses his team, he loses his job. Don't do this Tubs, I don't want to see you go! That's all I have to say today.........................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Top 10 After Today

A lot of the top teams went down today. When the AP poll comes out tomorrow, the top 10 will look very different. If I was voting, here is how my ballot would look:

1. Texas- Looked very impressive vs. Oklahoma
2. Alabama- Stayed idle, but did not look good enough last time out to move up
3. Penn St- Played a great game, beating Wisconsin by 41 points
4. Texas Tech- Stayed unbeaten in OT vs Nebraska
5. Florida- Beat LSU, and I mean Beat them down
6. BYU- Max Hall continues to come away with victories
7. Oklahoma- Looked good against Texas, but came away with a loss so will take a slight drop
8. USC- Blanked Arizona St. 28-0
9. Georgia- Beat Tennessee, but not very impressively
10. Oklahoma St.- Looked good, and stayed undefeated by beating Mizzou

Remember when looking at this that I do think some of these will actually happen, but most of all, this is my top 10 rather than my prediction. That's all I have for today..................................................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What A Day

It was a long day for me in college football. I woke up to a great Oklahoma-Texas game, listened to a horrible Auburn game, and finished with a blow out in the swamp. Going in, I expected Auburn to win pretty easily against Arkansas, who I thought was the worst team in the SEC. I was way off. Instead, Auburn came out flat, with what looked like no fight left in them, and lost the game. They looked like the worst team in the SEC, although they have more talent than most SEC teams. Tuberville fired Tony Franklin, but that was not the problem. We could see this year end ugly for coach Tubs if he doesn't turn it around, and turn it around quick. I do not want him fired, but the board of directors have been looking for something to fire him for for a while now, and they might just have a reason by the end of this season. The defense is still good enough to keep them in every game they play, but the offense is bad enough to keep them out of every game they play. We will have to wait and see what happens the rest of this year. That's all I have for now....................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday Predictions!

Sorry guys, I'm a little late on posting this. My mom just had a liver transplant this past Thursday, and we have been here at the hospital for since Wednesday. Everything is going good with the transplant and mom is doing great! This is one thing Auburn and Alabama fans can be happy over together. There are a couple of big games this weekend. Auburn-Arkansas has turned out to be bigger than expected with the firing of Tony Franklin. Here is how I call this weekend:

Auburn vs. Arkansas
This is a huge game for coach Tommy Tuberville. If he loses this game, he is automatically on the hot seat in the minds of the board members. I think Auburn will come out big during today's game vs. Arkansas. What kind of offense they are going to run is a different question. I believe they will run a hybrid/simplified spread/west coast offense. I know it sound confusing, but it will be better than the spread itself has been. Kodi Burns is going to be in the game, I don't know when, but I think he will get more snaps than Chris Todd. The defense will be, well, the Auburn defense. Arkansas will move the ball, but will have trouble scoring. My prediction: Auburn-31 Arkansas-13

LSU @ Florida
It is never a good idea to challange the Heisman Trophy winner. That is exactly what LSU defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois did this week. He basically said that if he got the chance, he was going to hit Tebow and take him out of the game. Come to find out, Jean-Francois is out with a groin injury, and Tebow is not. This Florida team is going to be fired up. LSU is good, but I think Florida has more talent and will expose LSU's weaknesses. My prediction: Florida-28 LSU-14

Oklahoma vs. Texas
This is a game that effects everyone in the title hunt. OU is ranked number 1 in the country and Texas is ranked number 5 in the country. I am going to go against the experts and say the Texas is going to be ready to play. I believe that the winner of this game will be number 1 when the polls come out on Sunday (sorry Bama fans), meaning I think Texas will be the top ranked team next week. Will Muschamps defense will be ready to go, but a lot of points will be scored on both sides. My prediction: Texas-38 Oklahoma-31

Im glad it is Saturday and College football is finally here again. That's all I have for today................................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who Is Ready For A Big Game Against Vanderbilt?

Who is ready for a big game against who? Did I just say Vanderbilt? The same team that has been an automatic win for a while now? Well not anymore. This team has beaten two quality SEC teams, and is going to be a tough game to win for Auburn. ESPN College Gameday is actually going to be in Nashville for the game. That's how big this one is. In my opinion, this game will be the turn of the season for Auburn. Tuberville said that they may run the spread 100% this weekend if everything goes as planned. Mario Fannin is expected to get a little more involved this week, and rightfully so. He is a playmaker, and Auburn has got to get the ball in his hands. This could be the week that the offense finally clicks. I hope so anyways. We have been waiting all year for the "click" to happen. All we can do is wait and see. That's all I have for today..............WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
