but it sure is to the rest of the Auburn folk. Their SEASON HINGES on LSU according to the rest of AU nation.

Auburn will be very, very tough this year and Carnell, IMHO, should be the front runner for the heisman. he's the REAL deal in my book. TIGERPOWER Registered User Posts: 2767 Reply Re: Will AU make the SEC Championship game this year? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think so. I see us going 8-3 or even 7-4. We lose to LSU, UT and UGA. We still have problems on the OL, at WR and the ST's are a problem. I think there's a problem at another key position, but I'm not going to go there. The play calling should be better if CAB is given freedom to do his thing. We'll just have to wait and see if CTT gives it to him. JMHO and I hope I'm wrong.

Time will tell. LocalTiger Registered User Posts: 2097 Reply Heisman and Carnell.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...he will not be the front runner. And I'm not talking about bias against the SEC. I'm talking about the lack of a passing game good enought to protect him. I'm talking about the really good defenses he will see that know we don't have the passing game. I'm talking about him having to average more than 160 yards a game in order to be considered...and he didn't even average 100 last year in his first full injury free season. These and an offensive line that just isn't really good (better than average, though) will prevent Carnell from being a front runner, and probably not even a finalist.

I say to him, keep your head up, We'll have a much better passing game this year. The passing game and receivers should be fine, along with the running game. DesScorp Registered User Posts: 1208 Reply Re: Will AU make the SEC Championship game this year? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nope. As an earlier post said, 7-4, or maybe 8-3. No berth in the championship game. I think that belongs to LSU for the time being. AURaptor Registered User Posts: 2869 Reply Outlook not so good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've watched LSU and UGA pass by this program like it was standing still. I'm still a fan of CTT, but I'm not sure if we're at that level. I think we're almost there talent wise, but a bit lacking on the sidelines. When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.

LSU quit messing around and went out and got a real coach and we should have had the 'ba***' to do the same last year. Time will tell.
