Any word on Eli Stove? I liked his play last year but this year has been hush on his name.

Not sure about the exact number of plays but with the offensive problems that AU has had these past two years there have been many punts and many field goals. If you add the stress of kick offs, field goals, extra points, and constant punts every Saturday, as well as practices, somewhere along the line I would imagine a little fatigue would show in his leg thus leading to a possibility of less accurate field goals. I'm by no means speaking on what Carlson can and can not handle but when you've got a kicker that can all but guarantee three points from anywhere on the field you want to make sure he can perform that duty. What I'm saying is if he can punt and kick and be fine then by all means, but if there is another option I rather them go with that option and not Carlson. Plus like you said, chance of injury would increase and seeing as he is a NFL caliber kicker I would hate to put his future in more jeopardy than it has to be, even if that means less than average punts.

I was wondering the same thing. It might be worth a shot. I rather go for it every 4th down than have Daniel punt. I hate to see him get worn down when he's been such a vital part of almost every game for the last three years. We saw what happened in the Outback Bowl. We need that golden leg.

I would take Chandler Cox as my go to favorite this year. That guy comes ready EVERY PRACTICE. He is FIRED up. I love that energy he has. He loves what he is doing. In fact, of all the things I've observed from these practice clips it's the energy the entire team has. They seem to click. This team is fired up in every video. Call it pumping sunshine but I think this team is something special. Something about them feels different than in the past.

I get the same feeling as well. This article makes it seem like this is a UGA and FSU battle. I hope that feeling is wrong. Kirby can recruit but can he provide the offensive scheme to JF that AU can.

Maybe Eason and Fromm will scare JF from UGA. I hate losing recruits to anybody but especially UGA. Their home state advantage doesn't help.

Really disappointed in this news. I really thought both of these guys would see plenty of playing time this season. As much as AU has going on, why would these guys want to transfer? Wonder the reason why.

Glad to see both players go and I hope Ford gets drafted as well. As far as Carl goes I figured he wouldn't go as early as others, but to be honest I feel like the Packers seriously got a steal with Adams in the third round. I think he should have been drafted higher and I do not think that the many drafted before him are better than he is. I am not sure what his negatives or concerns were but I just feel like he is underrated and has been underrated for whatever reason. I hope he shows out and proves me right.

I just hope they start to utilize the punt and kickoff return game before the Alabama game this year. With Davis we had a dynamic punt return game in 2013. I hope to see that return.

Really hope to see him back in the fall. I was looking forward to seeing him and Craig-Myers torture opposing secondaries.

My only concern for Hastings is strength and how that will stand up against harder hitting DBs in the SEC. Very talented, just hope he can hold on to the ball and most importantly not get hurt.

I was looking for a more in depth look at Stidham vs live college defenses and I found this video I thought gave an interesting look at it. It's baylor's offensive plays vs Oklahoma in 2015 when Stidham was a freshman. Another one as well. Baylor's offensive plays vs OK State 2015. Definitely faces some pressure here. Stidham leaves game with injury at 9:40.

I'm impressed with Stidham but that was to be expected. I'm more impressed with the mind and thought process of Willis. Mentally he looked waaaaay more advanced than a true freshman QB that hasn't been playing the position long. He seemed poised and confident. Not sure what happened with Barrett? Is it possible coaches already see that he won't make as successful a QB as the other three options so they just decided not to play him much once he struggled on the first few drives? I mean Willis started with the two's. That says something. Overall I'm thoroughly impressed with this team. A little nervous about the safety position. Maybe one of the true freshmen coming in are further ahead than usual. That would be nice.

I honestly do not see anything wrong with what Haley did, concerning the reaction to the Florida coach that is. Regardless of how she has handled situations before this one, to me she is justified in her actions. She does not have to high five anyone she does not want to. Does that possibly make her a poor sport yes, but that is her decision. It is obvious to me that Walton purposely reached his hand out to tag Haley's shoulder when it was obvious she did not want to high five him. To me, his actions are an immature reaction to the situation. All he had to do was put his hand down and keep walking. Technically, all she did was put her hand down, walk straight, and ignore him. She wasn't enticing him. She was attempting to handle the situation in a civil way. He was the one to initiate a reaction. It was almost like he wanted to show/ teach her something. That is not his place, he is not her coach. Let her coach handle her actions. There is obviously some bad blood there that we do not know the whole story to, so I am just forming my opinion on the video. I probably would have reacted the same way. That is an individual in a position of authority and he needed to act like it. Take up your problems with the opposing coach, not the players. To me, it doesn't waver my opinion on her or the program. It was a normal reaction in the heat of the moment. How do we know he has ever treated her with respect or how do we know he deserves hers? As far as her going after the players, that is another story.

My favorite parts of the scrimmage recap: Willis threw two touchdown passes. Franklin caught one.
