I'm just surprised people are saying he's gone when, unlike years past, there's no chatter of another school trying to snag him as their OC. He's never flirted with a lateral move, only moving up. He was close to taking a RB job last year but it got offered to someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,651 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Marcello just reported that Horton agreed to new deal with Auburn last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiefifty 16,766 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 i believe someone has us lined up with an australian punter that should sign and show up soon unless he has already signed. there was an article on that dreaded site a few weeks back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri wasn't good at much, last year, but they EXCELLED at special teams. Him + Aussie punter + Little Carlson should finally round us out.

The entire staff could stand to do that - I’d like to hear that they go camp out for a few days - “lunch and learn” with an NFL staff (but not sure who I’d consider a prime candidate/destination, for such a field trip)... maybe they can make some friends to go visit at AU Pro day...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 He posted on his twitter account that their punt return unit had returned 2 punts for TDs this year, and avg over 16 yds per punt return. To compare Mizz and AU in the final SEC Special Team stats for 2017 ranking: MIZZ is 1st column and AU is 2nd column: Punts (defended): 1 14 Punt Ret: 2 8 Kickoff (Defended) 8 14 Kickoff ret 6 3 (that was due to our great FR returner) (OVERALL) 2nd LAST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THanks I assume you mean @steeleagle's post. It bascially shows that Missouri was pretty awesome at Special Teams, ranked near the top in both punting categories, and decently in kick-off categories and we sucked at everything but kick-off returns. It sums it up with the fact that Missouri had the 2nd ranked Special Teams in the SEC last year and we were dead last. He gave credit to Iggy for our good showing in kick-off returns, so I pointed out that he needed to give credit to Missouri's punter for their punting numbers.

THanks Sorry, if it was confusing. I tried to make columns that were lined up, and I failed. Next to each category listed,(ex. Punts (defended): 1,14)) there are 2 numbers. The first is Mizz's rank in the SEC and the second is AU's rank. I agree, that their punter was fantastic too. And our punter made it hard for our punt coverage to keep the returner from getting many yards. But we had problems like this the last 2 years with 2 different punters as well as our kick off team coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
