Even as players expressed their optimism for what is to come, they remembered what it was like just eight months ago when they trudged off the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium, embarrassed by a 49-0 loss and a 3-9 record. They vowed then not to forget, and they haven't.

"We're not going to forget last year," junior wide receiver Quan Bray said. "That's motivation for us to keep grinding and do the things we do every day. We're ready. We're very hungry. We have some things to show."

Senior linebacker Jeff Holland said the harsh reality of what happened in the fall of 2012 will long be part of those he experienced it. But remembering doesn't have to be a burden. And Holland, like his teammates, vows it won't be.

"We can put it behind us, but we can't forget it," Jake Holland said. "It definitely fuels the fire for this year as far as moving forward and getting better."

"I'm whatever they want me to be right now," Ken Carter says. "Right now, I'm at defensive end. I'm going to make the best of everything.

"I'm very excited. I've been dedicated."

Auburn figures it has an established pass rusher in Dee Ford, but DC Ellis Johnson says one isn't enough. Enter Carter?

"If you only have one, they can pick on him," Johnson said over the summer. "We certainly need one to develop on the opposite side, and we need our tackles to become pass rushers, too.

"I don't know if we can generate a dynamic pass rush without blitzing."

...

Two of Auburn's high-profile recruits -- Carl Lawson and Elijah Daniel -- are defensive ends, and they impressed during summer workouts.

"They have great skill. They have potential to be some of the best players coming through Auburn," Carter said.

Auburn defensive tackle Nosa Eguae said he's ready for football practice to start Friday after a summer with Coach Russell.

"It was really intense in the weight room," Eguae said. "Everybody was really flying. We were always moving."

Eguae pronounced the team was in "great shape."

...

"We can't wait until Aug. 31" and the opener against Washington State.

Punter Steven Clark and place-kicker Cody Parkey attended the Kohl's kicking camp in Wisconsin over the summer. A lot of other kickers did, too.

Clark averaged 39.8 yards per punt last year. More importantly, he dropped 15 punts inside the 20 and only five of his 70 punts were returned.

"I've always been able to get the ball high. I'm working on being able to control the distance based upon the situation. I'm just getting more comfortable with all aspects in the kicking game," Clark said.

http://www.auburntig.../080113aak.html

“I’m working on being able to control the distance based upon the situations and stuff. I went home and kicked a little bit into the wind back in Missouri, just kind of getting more comfortable with all aspects of the punting game. It’s a continual process, and I don’t think I’ll ever be finished, necessarily. But I’ve made big strides over the summer, and I’m happy where I’m at.”

Even before the third-team All-SEC preseason selection attended this summer’s camp, Clark said kicking guru Jamie Kohl has “been a reliable source” for both he and Parkey throughout their college careers.

“Just kind of twist his ear every now and then about what he thinks we might be able to do to improve,” Clark said. “He keeps an eye on us as much as he can. He’s a pretty busy guy, but he’s definitely been a key part in my success in college.”

...

“It’s always a work in progress with something especially as technical as punting,” he said. “There’s so many aspects, and I try to pin people from the 40, the 45, the 50. And then I back up and try to hit a liner into the wind. It’s a lot of situations you have to practice out of the end zone, heavy rushes — all sorts of things. Whenever you’re able to do all that good (that’s great.) But I don’t think anybody is able to be totally complete.”

With just three wins, Auburn could see significant improvement in 2013 without making a bowl. Senior linebacker Jake Holland said that’s unacceptable.

“Just from what I see — going off past years — this team is probably the closest we’ve been (to a bowl team) in a long time,” Holland said.

“Bowl capability? There’s no doubt in my mind.

“A bowl game is our goal. Obviously, championships are our goal, but bowl game is kind of our minimum.”

Several veteran players who have changed numbers. Dee Ford went from 95 to 30, interesting for a defensive end, and Cassanova McKinzy flipped from 30 to 8. Ricardo Louis from 6 to 5 as Jonathon Mincy made the previously reported change from 21 back to 6.

Dominic Walker. That dude is going to hurt somebody. Gained 16 lbs as a WR. If he isnt fat, this guy is going to be unreal. Like the guy LSU had (rb turned WR). Gus will kill them with him.

Oh, and Peyton Barber is going to be another Ron Dayne.

i think he would have to have a Jared Lorenzen type eating plan to get to Ron Dayne size.
