Tiger Talk - Auburn vs. Clemson Edition

[RunInRed 16,360]

Auburn is "pretty healthy" heading into Saturday, Malzahn says on Tiger Talk. "Everybody is going to be ready to go."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn on similarities between Dak Prescott and Deshaun Watson: "I think they're both dual-threat quarterbacks."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn said Auburn had what sounds like a sweet cookout during the summer, including kickball, corn hole and inflatables.

Fan requests Malzahn defer if Auburn wins the kickoff so defense "can go out, shame and embarrass" the Clemson offense.

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn said Sean White "was never close to 100 percent" after injury vs. Arkansas last season. Fully healthy going into Clemson game.

Malzahn: "Usually the first game of the year, special teams has a lot of impact plays. ... We've been preaching that all camp."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Fan asks Malzahn if White and Franklin could be in the backfield at the same time. "I've thought about just about everything."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn: "(Franklin III) competed hard. He's a great kid. ... He's really impressed us." As to if he will play: "we'll see what happens."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn: "I'm really looking forward to this offense."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn: "There will be a whole lot of true freshmen out on that field Saturday." Hopes "a handful of them" will make impact plays.

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn on true freshmen wide receivers: "This will be a position of strength in the future."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Malzahn on Marlon Davidson starting at DE as a true freshman: "That's rare. He's earned that. ... He doesn't act like a freshman."

— Josh Vitale (@AUBlog) September 1, 2016

Auburn's Gus Malzahn's prediction: 'There'll be a whole lot of true freshmen out on that field Saturday.'

Gus on Austin Golson: "Austin's a very smart player. He's conscientious, he's a very physical guy."

— Sam Butler (@_sam_butler) September 1, 2016

Gus Malzahn: 'I think we have a chance to be a good defense… The challenge is we're playing one of the best offenses in college football.

Agree.

It has been a couple years since I've listened to tiger talk ...

He seemed like he wanted to be at work and not there.

the DT QB comment was pretty funny

Obviously I'm making a conclusion out of a tiny statement - but he seemed to be looking for a nice thing to say about jf3

Seemed very positive about the DL and young WR

some of the questions were horrible.

i really enjoyed listening to coach hoppa

Gallman is going to be tough..he's definitely one I'm worried about

[Plainstalk 32]

Ready for some football.  Something tells me this team will surprise a lot of people.  We tend to be at our best when the "experts" think we will be terrible.....

Man, those quotes were painful to read. It felt like he was an angst-filled teenager forced to answer questions lol

 

Noticed how Gus said WR will be a strength in the future...we are going to need that future to be right now haha

Maybe Hand is rubbing off on Gus and he's developing a sense of humor... On second thought... nah... he probably doesn't realize it was funny.

So Gus said nothing other than coachspeak.  Just win Gus.

You know, to think that that was a serious response by Gus makes it even funnier.

Coaches speak is all Gus ever says.
