2009 Auburn Tigers

[Jack Lambert]

Here are the projected white starters for Auburn this year. They had 6 in 2008. It looks like Auburn is going really dark now. They once again have a coal black defense.

What you'd expect from a SEC team.

Offense

QB Chris Todd

TE Tommy Trott

LT Lee Ziemba

C Ryan Pugh

If they don't start their excellent White DT, they are insanely stupid.

 

[Riddlewire]

Chris Todd has been named the starting QB for this season. So Auburn's number improves by one.
I never had any doubt about this one. I saw most of Tulsa's games. Malzahn's offense demands accuracy above all else. Kodi Burns lacks the ability to get within 20 yards of anything he's throwing at.

 

[Jack Lambert]

Thanks Riddlewire, sorry I didn't see that earlier. Burns switched to WR also. Tommy Trott is starting at TE too, so Auburn is starting a whooping 5 white tigers. The defense is still coal black as always.

 

[Leonardfan]

How is Ziemba looking? I think he can be a first round Tackle when he comes out.

DL - Zach Clayton - is being used as a DE this year and he plays quite a bit

Linebacker, Adam Herring, started against Mississippi State but I only saw the end of the West Virginia game so I don't know who started.

True frosh TE - Philip Lutzenkirchen - got his first college TD against Mississippi State.

i am wondering what is going on with sophomore cornerback Drew Cole. he is a tremendous athlete and was highly touted coming out of high school, despite his debilitating skin condition. i understand that he's been moved to "his natural position" at safety ... of course... but i read somewhere that he's backing up a true freshman. i don't recall him seeing the field, but i might have missed him on special teams ...



"weird," huh?

 

[celticdb15]

JC i would say that Drew Cole might have made the worst decison of his life, is that fair to say? I remember him coming out of high school he ran a frickin 4.4 forty! How can they honestlyjustify putting a 5'11 180 lb kid at safety?If he can dig himself out of the gravein Auburn he should transfer immediately.

 

[Jack Lambert]

Cole is a backup safety being benched for a freshman afflete, according to the depth chart I saw.

 

[Deadlift]

It looks like Auburn has a White receiver (from the JC ranks) who may have been a walk-on. He's originally from Bozeman, Montana.

There's a picture of Jay Wisner celebrating with Lutzenkirchen after Lutz gets his first college TD. I watched one of the FOX Sports recasts of that game and knew that I had to do some homework on Jay Wisner.

He has 2 catches for 40 yards so far.


EDIT: He is a White Athlete!! http://jcfootball.scout.com/a.z?s=87&p=8&c=1&nid=4210091Edited by: Deadlift

I was wondering if Jay Wisner was going to be benched during the conference schedule, but he did have 1 catch for 16 yards against Tennessee.

Auburn runs the ball a lot. It's good to see that Wisner is still being used.
