Joey Gatewood has entered the transfer portal again Zac Blackerby Sun, August 15, 2021, 6:21 PM The former Auburn quarterback has entered the transfer portal after losing another battle for a starting quarterback role. Joey Gatwood transferred to Kentucky from Auburn after losing the battle against Bo Nix. Now, after Kentucky named Will Levis the starting quarterback for the Wildcats. Both Auburn and Kentucky fans look at the decision and ask the question, “What’s next for the former 4-star quarterback?”. It looks like if Gatewood would have stayed, he would have had to compete with Beau Allen for the backup spot. Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops made all of the news official at a Sunday night press conference.

Auburn Football Auburn quarterbacks have ‘plenty to correct’ after 1st scrimmage Today 7:00 AM Auburn quarterback Bo Nix (10) throws during a scrimmage Saturday, Aug. 14, 2021 in Auburn, Ala. Todd Van Emst/AU AthleticsTodd Van Emst/AU Athletics By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com Bryan Harsin wants his quarterbacks to treat every rep like a game rep. After one week of practice, Auburn’s quarterbacks got to experience their most game-like opportunity of fall camp when the team held its first scrimmage under the lights at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday night. The 100-play affair, which was split close to evenly between the first-, second- and third-team units, provided the Tigers’ quarterbacks with a chance to show what they can do when the lights are on and bullets are flying. It also provided Harsin with an opportunity to get some better intel on his quarterbacks’ progress at this point in the preseason. “There’s some really good things tonight at the quarterback position,” Harsin said after the scrimmage. “I thought all the guys ran the ball well and did some things and threw the ball well at times. There’s plenty to correct.” Bo Nix, T.J. Finley and Dematrius Davis all had chances to lead Auburn’s offense during the scrimmage, and while the Tigers created some explosive plays in the passing game — with Harsin impressed by the consistency and playmaking shown by team’s young receiving corps — some missed opportunities came in the form of turnovers. Auburn wide receivers step up, show progress during first scrimmage Bryan Harsin lauded Auburn's receivers for some timely and explosive plays during the team's first scrimmage of fall camp. Auburn’s quarterbacks accounted for some interceptions during the scrimmage, and though Harsin didn’t provide an exact number of turnovers, he said the offense was at fault on “some” of them. On others, he credited the defense for going up and making plays in the secondary while also acknowledging that the defense was ahead of the offense, as is typically the case at this point in the preseason. Despite the interceptions, Harsin seemed generally pleased with the decision-making shown by Auburn’s quarterbacks during the scrimmage. “All the time at the quarterback position it really comes down to decision-making,” Harsin said. “That’s a huge part of what we’re working through now, just learning and making progress as far as what we’re doing and learning to execute the offense and how it needs to look each and every day and every practice, and then making great decisions on the field. When you go out there and it’s time to play, you’ve got to make great decisions. “You’ve got to make sure you’re putting your team in the best position to win and taking care of the football and making the right checks and knowing what you’re doing…. That will be the focus with that position moving forward this week is the decision-making process.” It goes back to Harsin’s overarching approach to the quarterback position and wanting those players to treat every snap like a game rep so they realize that there aren’t any days off at that position. At least, there can’t be if they hope to play the position at a high level in Harsin and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo’s pro-style system. Auburn is still at the point in fall camp where it is working on the installation of its base offense — reintroducing a lot of what it accomplished in the spring, from the run game, to pass protections to general fundamentals of each position — while working to build upon it as the season opener approaches. And while Finley continues to push Nix in practice, with the competition between the two forcing each other to elevate their performance each day on the field, the job appears to still be Nix’s to lose, as he has received the majority of the first-team reps in fall camp. When asked about the possibility of playing two quarterbacks in the opener against Akron, though, Harsin didn’t rule it out. It is something he has done before while at Boise State, but he added that’s certainly not the goal for the position in fall camp. He prefers to have one quarterback take the reins of the offense and execute it at the high standard Harsin holds it to. “Let’s be clear: That’s not what were working toward right now,” Harsin said of a two-quarterback system. “Right now, we’re developing each quarterback to go out there and play the position and be the quarterback. I’ve used multiple quarterbacks for situational things, and because guys deserve to play at that position; I’ve coached some good players, starters and backups.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

AUBURN, Alabama — After just nine full practices, Bryan Harsin’s first preseason camp at Auburn is over. With the fall semester at Auburn starting Monday, the Tigers were given a shorter window than usual to complete their dedicated, preseason practice schedule. Their first day of practice was only last Friday, and they wrapped things up Sunday with a study session and practice to go over fixes from Saturday night’s scrimmage. Obviously, Auburn’s preseason is not over, though. This week, the Tigers will blend fall-camp elements and practices with an “in-season” schedule, Harsin said, before the second and final scrimmage of the preseason Friday. After that, the coaches will work on a depth chart, and the players will transition to game-prep mode for the season opener Sept. 4 against Akron. So there are still plenty of developments to be had, players to improve and position battles to wrap up, but after five different practice viewing periods, three interviews with Harsin, a chat with the coordinators and several discussions with players in the span of nine days, there’s a solid baseline of knowledge about the Tigers leading into the 2021 season. Here are 10 things we learned about Harsin’s first Auburn team during its fall camp. Note: Auburn’s coaching staff has prohibited reporters from sharing information about injured and absent players from the open practice viewing sessions this preseason. There are names at a couple different positions who are not currently practicing with the team due to injury, but disclosure of said players by a reporter could result in limited or restricted access to the program moving forward. (Photo: Todd Van Emst / Auburn Athletics) By a significant margin, Auburn’s wide receiving corps is its most unproven and inexperienced group on the entire roster. The top returning contributor from last season brings back seven receptions, and the most veteran player in the room had 10 career catches. That was, until Auburn added Georgia transfer Demetris Robertson this offseason. Although he reported to campus three days after the rest of the team after he finished up his academics at UGA, Robertson has come along quickly in the Tigers’ offense, developing a particularly strong rapport with Bo Nix in practices. “He's going to have to learn pretty quickly,” Nix said of Robertson. “But also, already having some experience and already being in this kind of pro-style offense is going to help him a lot. The difference between competition levels is not going to change much coming from an SEC school. He's got a pretty good advantage so far, but the only thing he's got to do now is learn our playbook and learn the terminology — which I feel confident in that.” Robertson’s career output (99 catches) in his four-plus years of experience across his time at Cal and Georgia more than quadruples Auburn’s returning receptions at the position. In his first scrimmage with the team Saturday, he made “several” important catches, according to Harsin. Besides Robertson, Auburn now has all hands on deck at receiver after Ze'Vian Capers, J.J. Evans and Shedrick Jackson missed most of spring practices with injuries. Add in newcomers Robertson and four-star freshman Tar'Varish Dawson, and the group is now one of the deepest in the SEC. But besides the Georgia transfer, it’s still a heavily unproven room. Leading up to the season opener — and through the Tigers’ first two home games against low-level opponents — Auburn will continue to look for separation in its lineup out wide. There’s only so many snaps to go around, and the Tigers’ pass-catchers are working around the clock to impress their coaches and become fixtures in the passing game this fall. “That's what I love about this group: They all understand that it's a wide-open competition at this point,” Nix said. “Therefore, they're giving maximum effort.” Auburn lost its third starting-adjacent player from last year’s defensive line when Harsin revealed early in camp that Tyrone Truesdell, set to start at defensive tackle for the third straight season, was no longer part of the program. The Tigers also saw defensive tackle Daquan Newkirk and defensive endBig Kat Bryant transfer in the offseason. In Derek Mason’s 3-4 defense, Truesdell was expected to play a big role as a true nose tackle, anchoring the center of Auburn’s front seven. His snaps are now up for grabs, and there’s an opportunity for another name to emerge on the interior. The leader out of fall camp, seemingly, is UAB transfer Tony Fair, who received plenty of buzz over the team’s week-plus of practice for his surprising athleticism at 6-foot-1 and 330 pounds, and his overall veteran presence and mindset on the defensive line. “I love playing alongside a guy like him because he's guaranteed to take up two (blockers),” defensive end Colby Wooden said of Fair. “He moves better than what he looks like, which was a surprise to me. He doesn't ask for much. He's going to give you his all. Plus, he's very good at the point of attack as well as defeating a block and rushing the quarterback.” Converted tight end J.J. Pegues, former JUCO product Marquis Burks and four-star freshman and early enrollee Lee Hunter also figure to see increased roles at defensive tackle in the wake of Truesdell’s absence. Fair isn’t the only player stepping up along the defensive line, however. The vibe from practice after Truesdell’s exit has been that the Tigers’ front line has collectively raised its level of play and is progressing nicely under first-year position coach Nick Eason. They might be one of the roster’s most-improved position groups from fall camp. Wooden is the “alpha” of the room, according to Pegues, with Derick Hall leading the edge rusher position. Additionally, Kansas transfer Marcus Harris has not only garnered a significant share of praise this preseason; he’s also been a consistent player along the first-team defensive line in practices. Auburn’s defensive front stood out to Harsin in the team’s first scrimmage and have, at times, dominated the Tigers’ offensive line — helped by the duo of All-SEC linebackers behind them. “I thought our linebackers — they were hitting it downhill — and then there were some negative plays that the defense created,” Harsin said. “I thought that front seven did well.” If Auburn’s defensive front elevates its level of play from where it was in 2020, Mason’s defense would likely be in a good spot to be one of the best in the SEC, seeing as the Tigers have a loaded secondary and linebacking corps already. “Cross-training” was the buzz word for Auburn’s offensive linemen this preseason, as position coach Will Friend is ensuring his players learn multiple positions along the line — not only to be able to play different spots, but also for players to develop a stronger perception of the responsibilities of neighboring roles along the front five. "I think it helps them get a better understanding of the communication — the work that those two have to do together," Harsin said. Brodarious Hamm has played right guard and right tackle, as has Brandon Council; Alec Jackson has worked at both tackle spots; and Jalil Irvin has taken reps at left guard and center, to name a few examples. All that is to say that Auburn isn’t ready to name a starting five for the season. Harsin would like to before the season opener, but there are still some kinks to iron out before then. Along the first-team offensive line in camp, Austin Troxell and Jackson split time at left tackle; Tashawn Manning was the primary left guard, though Irvin moved up occasionally from second-team center to take some first-team reps there; Nick Brahms worked mostly uncontested at center; and Council and Hamm worked at right guard and right tackle, respectively, for the majority of practices. The group had highs and lows in the first scrimmage Saturday. “A little inconsistent,” Harsin described them. This final week of practice before game prep for Akron begins figures to be critical for the offensive line, as Harsin is wanting to start working on his official depth chart for the season. If a player along that front five wants to stand out and create separation at his respective spot, now is the time. (Photo: Todd Van Emst / Auburn Athletics) Many Auburn fans hoped that the addition of LSU transfer T.J. Finley would provide pressure to Nix and force the third-year starter to step up his game in the preseason, lest Finley take his job. So far, Finley has been a big positive for the quarterback room, but he’s not truly threatening for Nix’s job at the moment. The two QBs have played off each other well in the preseason, attempting to out-work one another in practices. If Harsin desired a change to Auburn’s personnel at quarterback that would push Nix to work even harder than he already does, bringing in Finley seems to have been the right move. “I feel like as a group, we've all done a good job of challenging each other,” Nix said. “Like you said, competition brings out the best. In me specifically, I feel like I've always been at my best when I'm competing." From the first day of full-team practices, Finley has been manning the No. 2 QB spot. Grant Loy, Nix’s backup last season, was working with the third-team offense, but it seemed freshman Dematrius Davis jumped him for the third-string job in the past few days. Davis had a standout scrimmage Saturday and made more than a few highlight plays, according to Harsin. Obviously, the progression of Auburn’s offensive line and receivers will be crucial in elevating Nix’s performance level under his third offensive coordinator in as many seasons. Right now, Auburn is still harping on the fundamentals with Nix. Auburn’s offense will lean on Tank Bigsby and the running game, yes, but its ceiling will be raised if Nix — or maybe Finley, at some point — can add an explosive and consistent passing attack. Right now, Harsin and his staff are still trying to make sure everyone is on the same page with the new offense. Friday’s scrimmage will be big for the quarterbacks, too, after Nix and Finley combined for a few interceptions over the weekend. “There’s plenty to correct,” Harsin said Saturday of the quarterbacks. “That will be the focus with that position moving forward this week is the decision-making process.” In the past year, Auburn has seen four former four-star recruits transfer out of its running back room: Harold Joiner, Mark-Antony Richards, D.J. Williams and Devan Barrett. Behind a proven one-two punch in Bigsby and senior Shaun Shivers, Auburn needed its two newcomers at the position — true freshman Jarquez Hunter and Central Michigan transfer Jordon Ingram — to learn quickly in order to provide quality depth in the backfield. Those four players are the only scholarship tailbacks on the roster, after all. In fall camp, the two youngsters seemingly delivered. After being lauded for his freakish abilities in the weight room all summer, Hunter took on the role of Auburn’s No. 3 running back, as a runner comfortable with the offense’s “downhill” approach. Ingram, on the other hand, is an intriguing change-of-pace player, whose pass-catching abilities and smoothness in the open field reminded his teammates of a young Kerryon Johnson. Ingram had a touchdown run in Saturday’s scrimmage. “He's real patient,” Shivers said of Ingram. “And then once he sees it, he hits it.” On Hunter: “Jarquez, he's real strong. He's physical. I watched a lot of film of him today, too. He hit the hole. He's explosive. That's a downhill runner right there.” The headliner for Auburn’s offense, obviously, is Bigsby, who returns to the backfield after taking home SEC freshman of the year honors last season. Now fully healthy, he should be receiving 20-plus carries a game on a regular basis. How has he looked in the preseason? His teammates said he’s as strong and athletic as ever, and they expect his production to be taken up another notch in 2021. “What y'all seen last year, he was still a freshman,” Shivers said of Bigsby. “But now, he grew up. He's looking way better than he looked last year. I think this offense is really good for him, too, because now we'll be getting him downhill. He's one cut and go. That's the type of player that he is: a real explosive player. You know when you put the ball in his hands you can expect a big play every time." Auburn has a position battle at safety on its hands for the first time in a few years, after Jamien Sherwood left early for the NFL. Smoke Monday is a known commodity for the Tigers’ secondary, and he’s taken on a big leadership role this offseason. But who will start alongside him? It appears the two finalists are both transfers: Bydarrius Knighten, from Southeast Missouri State, and Donovan Kaufman, from Vanderbilt. The other two presumed contenders, Zion Puckett and Ladarius Tennison, have been Auburn’s top two players at nickel. Of course, Mason craves versatility in his defensive backfield, especially flowing from safety to nickel, and vice versa. But in the interest of naming a designated starter, Kaufman was working with the first-team defense in a brief 11-on-11 setting late last week in practice, and Knighten was getting a large share of the reps alongside Monday earlier in the week. “One thing I like about both of their games is that both of them are going to play hard,” Monday said of Kaufman and Knighten. “They're real hard workers. They've learned the playbook. I feel like they both know the playbook very well. That's really a big thing for me — for them to come in this late and just pick up the playbook so quickly. It's just great to see.” As the pictures at safety and nickel have come into focus, so, too, have the other spots in the secondary. Nehemiah Pritchett, who played nickel in the spring, is back at his standard cornerback spot and has been a top performer for Auburn’s defense in the preseason. Leading that room is senior Roger McCreary, while Jaylin Simpson and Dreshun Miller look to round out the rotation. JUCO addition Roterius Torrence has had a strong camp, as well. Auburn ended up with nine non-JUCO transfers added to the roster this offseason. Here’s how each held up in fall camp. • Finley (LSU): backup quarterback behind Nix, has impressed with his arm strength and downfield accuracy • Ingram (Central Michigan): third- or fourth-team running back who’s made a few highlight plays in the offense • Robertson (Georgia): late camp arrival who quickly progressed within the offense after a couple days of acclimation, is setting up for a role in the primary receiver rotation • Fair (UAB): emerged as a leader at defensive tackle, expected to be a utilized piece in the main rotation along the defensive front • Harris (Kansas): received starting reps early and often on the defensive line, presents more versatility for a group that has plenty of it • Eku Leota (Northwestern): a former All-Big Ten pass-rusher who has been Auburn’s second or third option at edge behind Hall and T.D. Moultry • Miller (West Virginia): has had a relatively quiet camp but is expected to be a starting piece in the cornerback lineup • Knighten (SEMO): former FCS All-American who is contending for starting safety spot • Kaufman (Vanderbilt): reuniting with Mason, has also pushed for a starting role at safety, received some reps at nickel, too (Photo: Todd Van Emst / Auburn Athletics) In all likelihood, it will take a while for his vision to get rolling on the Plains, but Harsin is planning on winning championships at Auburn. One of the primary ways he thinks the Tigers can do that is with strong leadership and a feeling that they, the players, are in control of their success. Harsin has preached to his players that, when he won championships at Boise State, it was because of the strength in the locker room, coupled with a talented and capable roster. The former Auburn players Harsin has brought in to speak to the team have echoed the same sentiment. “Coach (Harsin) talked about this team has to be player-driven,” Shivers said. “They said that when they won championships, it was player-driven, player-driven. So when we're out there, we take it upon ourselves to lead the team. We know what the expectations are. We know what the standard is for the team. We want to implant that each and every day, just keep moving forward. We know have the talent to keep going, keep working hard and just keep pushing." Harsin has been around his new team long enough to know where Auburn’s strengths and weaknesses lie for 2021. In some of the more deficient or unproven areas, Harsin isn’t forcing the issue. All he wants out of groups like wide receivers, offensive line and defensive line is effort. Effort leads to consistency. Consistency leads to success on the field. His coaching staff has subscribed to the same line of thinking. Both Mason and Mike Bobo preached similar concepts about their respective sides of the ball. Harsin thinks Auburn has the talent to be a top-tier SEC team as early as this season. But he’s able to balance optimism and belief with practicality in a way that his players understand exactly what he wants from that every day on the practice field. “A lot of people want perfection,” Mason said. “I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for consistency. I can trust that. I know what that looks like.” ">247Sports

there should not be a side to racism it should wrong period. when you takes sides it is a bad look. lets forget about them crackers but what about them racist blacks? it would appear someone has an axe to grind.

i read this a couple of days ago on yahoo. they claimed they cuffed them for the officers protection. i am sorry but that excuse is just too handy. you are not talking about deranged people here or a frothing at the mouth meth head. this country is in love with violence and we kill each other over stupid things every single day.

i am sixtysix today and never thought i would live this long. so fill free to make fun, jump my ass, chew me up and spit me out with no retaliation or snarky comments from me. tis a free day folks so lets hear it.

i have heard over and over that saban does this regularly so he has a better idea of what he has. and i think that was part of the revolt with a couple of coaches against gus. who knows for sure.

i shamelessly stole it for you guys. grins

even tho they stomped us i have no axe to grind with ucf. it should be an interesting game.

and of course i am lost as to real or joke. what did he do to be a head case?

i have read one word about tank whom we will be relying on heavily and i just do not have time to listen to an hour recap on some podcast. i might be logged in but i usually have several windows open.

i am a huge fan of his. if they let him get in a game early harsin will be signalling to other freshmen qb's they will get a fair shot and i think that could be huge. we might need an oline whisperer but hopefully the mixing and matching players is part of the problem.

i went past the 11000 viewers and counting on my profile. i need to do something cray and keep it going................

i am afraid finley took such a whooping last year it might be a while before he gets it corrected if he ever does. i said it recently and i will say it again. aubrun d was bad and we teed off on him last year. i just hope for the first couple of games dd gets a shot playing live to see what he can do.

in defense of randman i think he was talking about the band no doubt. hot chick and all that.

well i will watch this no doubt. gus says he is a new coach and he needed the time off to get his mind right. if he does like he did at auburn i do not think ucf will let him stick around like we did. but i wish gus the best. sure i was done with him but i am not eaten up with hate. i just wonder if gus will run the same thing or if he has not learned anything over the years.

i have no idea.

this will almost be a must watch for me. i want to see what kind of players coach harsin had back then. also i want to see what gus pulls out of the bag at ucf. UCF vs Boise State Prediction, Game Preview Pete Fiutak Fri, August 13, 2021, 5:29 PM UCF vs Boise State prediction and game preview. UCF vs Boise State Broadcast Date: Thursday, September 2 Game Time: 7:00 ET Venue: Bounce House, Orlando, FL Network: ESPN – All of the CFN Fearless Predictions UCF (0-0) vs Boise State (0-0) Game Preview Why Boise State Will Win New head coach Andy Avalos is about to bring in a high-octane passing attack – at least that’s the hope – with the talent and ability to keep up with teams just like UCF. The Broncos have an outstanding receiving corps, a terrific quarterback in Hank Bachmeier – at least when he’s healthy – or Jack Sears, and the experience up front to come up with a stronger overall year. The O was already strong, and now it should be even more explosive. On the other side, Avalos – the former Oregon defensive coordinator – has a loaded group with nine starters back on one of the Mountain West’s best defenses. The linebacking corps is experienced enough and talented enough to keep the UCF ground game from cranking out the home runs it wants to, but … Why UCF Will Win Boise State has a little bit of work to do. It’s still going to be one of the Mountain West’s best teams – if not the star of stars – and it’s got the talent to quickly get past a few of the 2020 issues, but the ground game needs to prove it can get rumbling again. The bigger problem could be a secondary that has to crank it up at corner and come up with more big plays – not a plus against this UCF passing game. New Knight head man Gus Malzahn inherits an attack that averaged 568 yards and 42 points per game, and he should be able to tweak things up just enough to matter. Expect more from the running game – even against what should be a brick wall of a Boise State defensive front – and a whole lot of quick, big plays in a high-energy attack. No, the defense isn’t going to be special – Boise State will have its moments – but it’s loaded with experience and brings in a few nice parts from the transfer portal. As long as it holds serve once in a while, the offense will take care of the rest. What’s Going To Happen Be ticked off if this isn’t a blast. Not to fire with faint praise, but call this an elimination game in the race for the Group of Five’s spot in the New Year’s Six bowls. More importantly, consider this a showcase game for all of those conferences – what’s up, Big 12? – that desperately needs to find expansion partners. Both defenses will be fine at times throughout the season, but this will be about the offensive fun. Expect over 600 passing yards between the two, wild mood swings, and a whole lot of big plays in what turns out to be one of the best games of Week 1. At home, UCF will get just a bit more out of its offense in the fourth quarter, but it’ll take a late defensive stop to get out of the Bounce House alive. – CFN 2021 Preview of all 130 teams UCF vs Boise State Prediction, Line UCF 43, Boise State 38 UCF -4, o/u: 71

A pro-Trump county clerk is accused of helping to leak sensitive election data to one of QAnn's leaders: reports Joshua Zitser Sat, August 14, 2021, 10:49 AM·3 min read In this article: Tina Peters, a Mesa County clerk, is accused of allowing information to be leaked to Ron Watkins. Mesa County, OAN/Youtube Colorado's secretary of state said that a county clerk is accused of "assisting" in a security breach. Sensitive election data collected during the breach was leaked to Ron Watkins, Vice reported. Watkins, who is believed by some to be 'Q,' shared information from the leak on his Telegram channel. See more stories on Insider's business page. A pro-Trump election official in Colorado is accused of assisting in the compromising of voting machines and allowing someone to leak sensitive data to a prominent QAnon influencer, according to Vice. Tina Peters, a county clerk in Mesa, Colorado, and so-called "Trump Truther," permitted surveillance cameras to be turned off for up to two months, it is alleged. During that time, she has allowed someone to steal information that was then leaked to QAnon figurehead Ron Watkins, the media outlet reported. Read more: Dozens of people who supported radical right-wing efforts to overturn the 2020 election currently sit on government boards running places like the Holocaust Memorial and the Kennedy Center At some point in May, Peters's office reportedly ordered officials to turn off the surveillance cameras monitoring Mesa County's voting equipment, according to evidence from Colorado's Democratic Secretary of State Jenna Griswold. The cameras were not turned on again until this month, Vice reported, which broke the equipment's "chain of custody" and means that the machines cannot be used in November's city, town, and school district elections. "This is troubling for the entire state of Colorado to have someone in a trusted position, literally trusted to protect democracy, allow this type of situation to occur," Griswold said during a Thursday press conference. "To be very clear, Mesa County Clerk and Recorder allowed a security breach and by all evidence at this point assisted it." On May 23, an unknown person gained access to one of the Election Management Systems machines from Dominion Voting Systems used by Mesa County, Vice reported. That person was then able to download an image of the machine's hard drive, a process repeated on May 26, a cybersecurity expert told Vice. On May 25, Dominion employees visited the country to conduct a highly-regulated "trusted build" upgrade to the voting machines' software, the media outlet said. According to state law, only staff from Griswold's office, Mesa County, and Dominion are permitted to be in the room during a "trusted build." Peters, however, invited an unauthorized non-employee into the room during the process, the Associated Press reported. She misled Griswold about his employment status, CBS Denver said. While the unauthorized man was there, he allegedly illegally captured footage of the machines being updated. On August 2, this footage was posted to Watkin's Telegram channel. The former 8chan owner and administrator has fervently promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory, and some people believe that him and his father could be the infamous 'Q.' According to Griswold's team, the footage included an image that accidentally linked the leak to Mesa County. Griswold issued an order last week authorizing her staff to travel to Mesa County to inspect the election system, but when they arrived, Peters was nowhere to be seen. Peters was on her way to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's "cyber symposium" in South Dakota, Vice reported. While speaking at the event, the Colorado Newsline reported that Peters accused Griswold's office of "raiding" her county's office. At the South Dakota symposium, Vice said that Watkins showed the audience images that appear to have been taken from the Mesa County machines on May 23 and May 26. Griswold's office is investigating the security breach, Colorado Newsline reported. An investigator with 21st Judicial District Attorney Dan Rubinstein's office is also looking into related potential criminal conduct, according to the local paper.

Roger McCreary and his brilliant decision Zac Blackerby Sat, August 14, 2021, 12:00 PM Roger McCreary made a big-time decision that surprised a ton of Auburn fans last year. He wanted one more season at Auburn. His tremendous 2020 campaign put him on the radar for NFL scouts, but he decided another year of improvement could propel him to the top of some NFL team’s draft boards. The tandem of McCreary and new Auburn corner and former West Virginia standout Dreshun Miller could be one of the best pair of corners in college football. Jake Crain, the host of the “JBoy Show,” believes his decision was a brilliant one. Crain joined “Locked On Auburn” to talk about it. “Roger McCreary in my opinion is going to be a very high draft pick. I think it was a brilliant move for him to come back,” said Crain. “I know for a fact that NFL scouts grade him really high and it takes so much pressure off the safeties and the nickel when you can have two corners that can go out there and be effective in man and effective in zone.” McCreary was the highest-rated defender for Auburn in 2020 according to PFF. He scored an 80.8 defensive rating over the course of the whole season. His rating was 72.4 in 2018 and improved to 78.8 in 2019. If he can continue to improve, the sky is the limit for his game.

i have an autographed football card of him. i used to collect mantle but since his stuff is so high i collect auburn players. mostly football but basketball and baseball as well. and they are autographed from the companies so they are legit.

Scrimmage Intel: The scrimmage was “thud”, not full tackling. The EDGE player look good. In particular, Romello Height has great quickness. Jarquez Hunter did not participate. Shaun Shivers and Donovan Kaufman were the first-team kick returners. Nehemiah Pritchett and Ladarrius Tennison were the second team kickoff returners. The scrimmage began with 2’s versus 2’s. There was constant artificial crowd noise pumped into Jordan-Hare Stadium. Kaufman was the first team nickel, with Smoke Monday and Zion Puckett at safety. Kaufman later comes out when Chandler Wooten comes in as the extra linebacker. That’s something we talked about on The Corner, the nickel and extra linebacker rotation. Kaufman also played safety, and Tennison moved to nickel. When Tennison left the field, Cam Riley came onto the field at linebacker. Bo Nix completed a 41-yards skinny post on third down early in the scrimmage. Nix hit another 30-yarder on third down, completing a double move to Ze’Vian Capers over Pritchett. It was a well-timed throw and a great catch. There were a “lot” of false start penalties early in the scrimmage. Shivers scored a touchdown a few players later from one yard out. The first two drives for TJ Finley were three-and-outs. Finley missed a corner route to Tar’Varish Dawson. Finley had another drive that went to third-and-one, and the first team defense stopped the second team offense on third and fourth downs, with Zakoby McClain making a big stop against walk-on back Sean Jackson. Nix keeps the sticks moving on third-and-three, but follows that up with an interception by Jaylin Simpson. Nix escaped to his right and threw it up for grabs. It wasn’t a good decision. Pritchett notches an interception due to miscommunication between Nix and a wideout. The wideout stopped the route and Nix threw deep. Later on, Nix overthrew Luke Deal on a wide open attempt from the pocket. He was then sacked by Colby Wooden. The defense really had the offense’s number tonight. Dematrius Davis entered the game with the third team offense against the third team defense. Davis looked good on zone-read plays and outruns the EDGE to the corner, moving the chains on a scramble. Davis then threw a beautiful deep fade to the corner from 30 yards out. There was pass interference on the defense. Davis is stepping into and through the pocket to scramble, where Nix bails to his right. (I saw Davis do the same thing during 11-on-11 work the other day. He stepped up and through the pocket. It’s instincts.) Davis then threw a 21-yard touchdown to Jackson Billings. Per one insider, Davis “outperformed” Finley by a “wide margin”. Davis had another great pass to Landen King that was dropped. Then the scrimmage shifted to working from the 25-yard line in. Finley came back and threw a touchdown to Elijah Canion from 25 yards out. Canion beat backup corner Devin Guice. Nix came in against the first team defense and the offense ran four straight play action plays. The defense covered them all up, including a sack by Wooden. Sean Jackson had some nice runs, breaking a few tackles, including an attempt by J.J. Pegues in the backfield. Pegues flashed with some plays in the backfield. (Like we talked about on the podcast, he’s going to make some “wow” plays even before the light completely comes on at defensive tackle.) Finley doesn’t appear to be as good when the play breaks down as Nix or Davis. Zakoby McClain is a “baller”, including a takedown of Tank Bigsby in the backfield. The secondary looked solid. There are athletes everywhere. The EDGE players all played well. Jordon Ingram with a 24-yard touchdown run on a great cut 10 yards downfield. It was second team offense against third team defense. Takeaways If the defensive front can hold up against the run, they will be very good. The secondary is talented and performed well. The EDGE and linebackers are explosive as well. If Auburn can play good first and second down rush defense, they’ll be in business. Dematrius Davis watched his stock rise tonight. He’s calm and “legit”, one sources said. TJ Finley wasn’t bad either. Bo Nix didn’t have the kind of night he probably would have hoped. In Nix’s defense, there’s still too much pressure coming through the offensive line. He’s still improving, but the pressure being allowed from the offensive line has to be dealt with. Zion Puckett is a player we haven’t talked about much, but he will have a role. He’s big and runs smoothly. Oddly enough, Bydarrius Knighten and Dreshun Miller didn’t get mentioned much as standing out. The offense is still mostly shotgun, with under center coming in short yardage. The Harsin-Bobo offense will feature lots of pre-snap motion and shifts. Think back to Al Borges in 2004. The receivers will be fine. If there’s time to throw, they can make plays. Sean Jackson, the walk-on back, may be ahead of Jordon Ingram. We aren’t sure where Jarquez Hunter was, but Jackson is a load. The offensive line, like I mentioned the other day, needs to find the starting five and start giving them reps together as a unit. The cross-training is fine, but that group needs reps as a unit ASAP. Under the radar guys to keep watching out for our Romello Height, Eku Leota, Puckett and TD Moultry.
