2010 Auburn Tigers Football Thread

War Damn Eagle everyone! Top 5 class is in the books and the year is getting off to a great start.


We get things kicked off with Nick Saban's reaction to guaranteed future Tider Spencer Region pulling a switcheroo and committing to the Auburn Tigers.

I'm excited to see year two for this coaching staff, in action.

War Eagle!

We have 3 very experienced studs that are all returning from injury and all 3 are former starters in the secondary.

Now that it has been announced that Zac will be 100% for fall, Coach Thigpen suddenly has a plethora of experienced talent in the secondary.

Mike McNeil, Zac Etheridge, Aairon Savage. All upperclassmen with tons of SEC starting experience.

I like the combos we now can utilize in the secondary. Probably the best battle in fall will be between Darren Bates and Mike McNeil at FS. Zac will start at SS, with Savage most likely moving back to corner opposite Neko Thorpe or Demond Washington.

We are gonna have a VERY experienced starting 11 on defense. 3 Seniors on the D line. 2 Seniors at LB.
In fact, looking over the projected depth chart...


DE-Michael Goggans Sr
DT-Mike Blanc Sr
DT-Nick Fairley Jr
DE-Antoine Carter Sr

OLB-Craig Stevens Sr
MLB-Josh Bynes Sr
OLB-Eltoro Freeman Jr

DB-Aairon Savage Sr *6th year*
DB-Demond Washington Sr
OR
DB-Neiko Thorpe Jr

FS-Mike McNeil Jr (RS)
OR
FS-Darren Bates So

SS-Zac Etheridge Sr

If Mike wins the job over Bates in the Fall, our entire starting defense would consist of nothing but Juniors and Seniors.
