Four Star OL Prospect Impressed by Auburn

Four Star OL Prospect Ed Christian from Valdosta, GA has decommitted from Florida State after his visit to the Plains for the Ball State game. Kudos to Gene Chizik and his staff for putting the bug in his ear. Now they simply have to land him on the hook in February! He now lists AU as his leader, but we all know the whimsy of youth!

10/18/09 Update: Consider Mr. Christian a Tiger, for now! He committed.

Game Wrapup: Auburn 54 - Ball State 30

• Our defense looked atrocious, however, I'm going to drink the Kool-Aid that we were emptying the bench with a 28 point lead so that we could rest our starters and give the reserves some much-needed reps.
  
• When Ball State loaded up to stop the run, we passed. When the pass loosened them up, we ran. I expect the same formula to work in Knoxvegas. I just hope that our defense can hold them to at least one fewer point than we score.
  
• From the looks of all the in-CROMPTONCIES that occurred in UT's win over Ohio, it looks as if their offense will give us some help in keeping their points to a minimum. We simply have to stop the run and force Crompton to beat us.
  
• Terrell Zachary made an iimpact in the game last night. Good to see someone besides Darvin Adams cath the ball!
  

Game Wrapup: Auburn 41 - West Virginia 30

• Our defense looked atrocious at times, but made big plays when they had to.
  
• Our offense can apparently run AND pass with effectiveness. You didn't see our run tonight due to the conditions, but our pass stepped up when it had to. I would like to continue to see the pass only when needed!
  
• I got the barn-burner I expected and, despite the rain, was one of the best Auburn games I've ever been to. Auburn-LSU '94 being the other.
  
• Glad to see Tim Hawthorne back to fill the void left by the departure of Montez Billings. Can't wait to hear exactly why he left.
• Excited to know that we should be getting a commitment from RB Michael Dyer in the coming days

Game Wrapup: Auburn 49 - Miss. State 24

• Once again, it's all about adjustments. Auburn made them at halftime, when in years past, they wouldn't or couldn't.
• Congrats again on another record setting night. Onterrio McCaleb and Ben Tate became the first running backs in AU history to rush for 100 yds. in multiple games. This is an even greater feat when you consider we ARE Running Back U! Wonder what Lache Seastrunk, Michael Dyer, and Marcus Lattimore think about that!
• Will be in the loveliest village next weekend to (hopefully) see things in person. Otherwise, will simply enjoy the ambiance! Expecting a barn-burner!
  
• Thinks the offense needs to spread the wealth next week, if possible!
  

Game Wrapup: Auburn 37 - LaTech 13

• I had my worries in the first half, but the team appeared to make adjustments at halftime (unlike last season) and dominated the second half.
• It was especially important that the defense came out and played with intensity. Giving them the ball to open the 3rd quarter had me worried.
• Was really happy with Wes Byrum, he was money, let's hope he stays that way!
• The pump fake and following bomb from Chris Todd to Terrell Zachery was picture perfect. Good to see the two of them finally having an impact.
• Having two 100 yard rushers on the same night was nice! Reminded me of Lionel "Little Train" James and Bo "Big Train" Jackson.
