    My favorite so far are the 5 star athletes from 3 years ago that can't find the field.

    But he's an upgrade.

    Fuck me sideways.

    You won't get that from me. I try to be reasonable. There's a reason AU brought in a grad transfer from UMASS who will likely start at RT. It's because the 5-star isn't ever gonna be ready.

    Maybe. He's a redshirt freshman. Willing to give it time before declaring the kid a bust.

    Atoe was a top 5 draft pick and it took until his senior year to find the field, LIPO

    It's the biggest question mark on the team, but the line is loaded with talent. Just lost a lot of experience due to graduation. For example, the starting LT has only been playing football for 3-4 years total (going back to high school). He's just a freak athlete that was originally recruited to play D-line, but got moved the offensive side rather quickly upon seeing his footwork and potential.

    The new O-line coach is actually the same guy that coached the line from 2013 - 2015. He's a significant upgrade as far as on field coaching goes.

    As for wildcat, AU has run some kind of wildcat package every year under Malzahn. Lindsey also ran some wildcat while he was the OC at Arizona State. I wouldn't read too much into this as it's probably just a new package for matchups.

    TLDR on all SEC posters is basically some form of 5 reasons, but being 100% serious. More talent, coaching upgrades since the offseason, the only weak spots aren't actually weak spots because xyz, the only losses they had last year weren't real losses because xyz. Basically every SEC poster is OBK.

    Fuck I'm actually going to have to root for UW against these assholes.
    @AuburnFan please tell me you went to auburn?
