Imagine if Stidham exhaust his three years of eligibility at Auburn, during his rs senior year our qb room/depth could be the most talented in the history of our program if not all of college football - Jarrett Stidham Malik Willis Justin Fields Joey Gatewood Bo Nix Likely a pipe dream, but still a beautiful thought nonetheless.

Any idea if we'll lose 2017 commit ss Ricardo De La Torre to the Twins after they selected him in the 6th round? I imagine he'll take the signing bonus and go to the minors?

We both know that the ultimate goal of the majority of football players is to make it to the NFL and under Saban, Bama does a lot of that. Kenyon Drake: 3rd Round Corey Grant: Undrafted FA

They have 5-stars holding water bottles for the backups who are 5-stars.

What's the appeal with Ohio St.? Kinda pissed we lost Master Teague lll to them only after they recently offered. I imagine the weather is miserable during the winter and I wouldn't guess they have a lot of hotties up there like southern schools have. Like I said, I just don't comprehend the appeal. Don't get me wrong, I think Urban Meyer is a great coach but growing up, I don't ever remember Ohio State coming to the south and hand picking the players they want, sigh. I guess Urban's got it like that nowadays.

Ummm, Corey Grant was grossly underutilized during his senior year so I'm not sure I'd call him. Not to play devil's advocate, but Bama used a player like Asa extremely well in Kenyan Drake who went on to be taken in the 3rd Round of the NFL Draft by the Dolphins.

Ummm, remember David Marshall? Ya know, the measly 3-Star defensive lineman out of Georgia that was committed to us in the last cycle before flipping to UGA. All he went on to do in his true freshman campaign was record 26 total stops this season, including 2.5 QB sacks, 3.5 TFLs and five QB pressures.

I read this morning that TD has a chance to be bumped up to 5-Star status in updated rankings, but it could have just been click bait by an Auburn beat reporter...you guys would know better than me.

It seems that Stidham is trending towards Auburn and that would be a game changer for us with the type of talent we have returning.

Clicked on the thread to read the latest on Stidham. Instead I get a Herb Hand, Rhett Lashlee and even Joey Gatewood discussion lol. 50/50 or is A&M perceived to be a heavy favorite for Stidham?

I just have an overwhelming gut feeling that Carl is going to have a coming out party and everyone in the country will know who Carl Lawson is after the Clemson game.

Would you designate a spy for him? Someone like a Rudy Ford or Montavious Atkinson that has some wheels?

Stat, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that the tale of the tape is gonna come down to the two strengths - Clemson's quarterback and Auburn's defensive line - if AU can get quality pressure and force some inherit throws and a turnover or two by using 4 down linemen and dropping 7 back in coverage then I imagine that'll be our m.o. Then again, Watson is a hell of a quarterback, so we might have to show him a lot of different looks from the defensive side of the ball to keep him on his toes. If the defensive line plays like it did in the first half of the Louisville game when everyone was healthy, I feel very good about our chances.

Just for the record, Briles has come out and said recently that he expects he'll get another head coaching gig after this season; obviously not on the level of Baylor, but he still expects to be a head coach none the less, so you might want to temper any pipedream thoughts about Briles joining Gus on the plains.

Did you watch last season? Our offense stunk as bad as our d.
