    I'm thinking 8-3 or 9-2 as well.

    Assuming they lose the LSU game. They will lose at least 1 maybe two out of Georgia Tech (who I think will have a great year), at Georgia, or Alabama.

    a very fair assesment. I agree with most of what they have to say.

    I also agree with what they say it will take for it to be a successful season.

    I've predicted AU to go 9-2, with the most likely losses being to LSU and UGA , in that order. No way AU loses to Georgia Tech....take a look at the GT O-line.... it's abyssmal.

    wow, he cannot be serious. our WR corp bar-none the fastest and best in the SEC, not to mention the deepest. skyler and xavier are two of the fastest in the country, period. and that's not to even mention davis, bowe, and doucet. maybe they aren't the most proven (mainly due to lackluster and inconsistent QB play), but they are far and away the most talented.

    The reviewers base it on production. Our WR corps produced abysmally last year, unfortunately.

    then they sure do conveniently leave out the production that AU will lack in campbell's absence (in terms of how the WRs will perform). saying that they will peform at the same level as last year with a new QB is foolish.

    IMO, he's talking "receiver corp" and you're talking "wide receivers." I believe he specifically mentions Tight Ends in his evaluation/description....mebbe that could be the difference, dunno.

    That would make it even more obvious that LSU is so much more superior, I dunno who Auburn has at TE, but I highly doubt he is at David Jones' level.
