The first week of the college football season is officially over, so what do we know about the rest of the season now? Dawgs on Top The Georgia Bulldogs’ 46-point victory over the No. 11 Oregon Ducks put any doubts or concerns about their offense to rest. The defending champions demonstrated to be a complete football team, and former walk-on quarterback Stetson Bennett IV appears to be among the best in the SEC. Bo Nix, the former Auburn quarterback, is now 0-4 in his career against the Bulldogs after struggling against Georgia and tossing two interceptions in a crushing defeat…

For the Auburn Tigers, another week means another quarterback controversy. One week after Coach Harsin named a starter, the QB competition at Auburn has reopened. That’s right folks Auburn’s QB race is back. TJ Finley’s Performance I won’t dismiss Finley’s performance because he did get off to a strong start at 5/6 with 65 yards and a touchdown. Just a little while later, when Harsin expanded a little on the playbook, he started breaking down. He lost the support he had gained early in the game after two terrible turnovers. Finley was then benched in favor of Robby Ashford following…

The Auburn Tigers began their 2022 campaign Saturday night with a 42-16 victory over FCS opponent Mercer. Even though Auburn did win, they are currently engaged in a major controversy. The Big Controversy I won’t shave off any time. TJ Finley looked rough and made two particular throws that were out of place, both of which resulted in turnovers. I can’t say whether TJ Finley lost his starting role or not, but I am certain that this week’s practice against San Jose State will be very important for the Auburn offense. After TJ Finley’s poor performance and Robby Ashford’s impressive…

In Auburn, Alabama, gameday is just over 48 hours away. After an extremely protracted offseason, the Tigers are getting ready to play for the first time. Let’s look at several players to keep an eye on versus the Bears as Week 1 draws near. Tar’varish Dawson / Wide Receiver Ja’Varrius Johnson, the former starter, lost out to Dawson for the position of starting slot receiver. It’s obvious that “Chick” has demonstrated some outstanding abilities over the offseason. The receiving core should be entertaining to watch regardless, but Tar’varish Dawson has the most excitement surrounding him. Tar’varish Dawson has been renown…

There’s no question that Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin has his job on the line this season. What does Harsin have to achieve this season to get another year in Auburn? How did it come to this? With a lot of uncertainty in the Auburn football program this offseason. Head coach Bryan Harsin has found himself in the hot seat in just his 2nd year at Auburn. After a disappointing injury from quarterback Bo Nix, which eventually led to a 0-5 finish at the end of the year. Harsin found himself in a tough situation where the program was hit…

The College Football preseason rankings are out and the new year has officially begun. I’m breaking down the top underrated teams for the 2022 season. Arkansas Razorbacks The Razorbacks had a great season last year with a nine-win season and are now under third-year head coach Sam Pittman. Arkansas has one of the toughest schedules in the country and will need the help of their star quarterback KJ Jefferson. Arkansas returns 12 starters and nine transfers over the offseason. The big loss for the Razorbacks was first-round wideout Treylon Burks, however, they landed former five-star receiver and Oklahoma transfer Jadon…

It’s no secret that Auburn isn’t very well-liked amongst the media. Every prediction post you see about the SEC most likely has Auburn finishing last in the SEC West. So why is everyone sleeping on Auburn? The Media’s Impression of Auburn It all started last season when Auburn ended the season with an 0-5 record. After Bo Nix went down the Auburn offense fell completely apart. Despite almost knocking off top-ranked Alabama the media won’t give second-year head coach Bryan Harsin another look. “The false inquiry,” that Harsin spoke about was an uncomfortable experience for Harsin, his family, and the…

.It’s finally game week for the Auburn Tigers. Depth Charts are out and final preparations are underway before Auburn’s six o’clock kickoff against Mercer on Saturday night. We’ll start off by showing some of Bryan Harsin’s noticeable quotes from Monday’s press conference.  “There are no more scrimmages, no more spring games… we have a deadline and we have to get ready to play.” Harsin on TJ Finley: “[TJ] won the job and we’re gonna move on with that, he earned it and he’s gonna get a majority of the reps.” When Harsin was asked about the situation of Zach Calzada…

Welcome Back, College Football. We’ve missed you. Week Zero has officially wrapped up and now week one kicks off this Thursday. Top Thursday Games #12 Oklahoma State vs Central Michigan Last season Oklahoma State was an inch away from a potential playoff berth. The Cowboys are looking for a similar journey, but a different result. The Cowboys have a game-changer at the quarterback position in Spencer Sanders. Sanders is the most experienced signal-caller returning to the Big 12 in 2022 and will start as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback in his fourth season opener. Last season, Sanders threw for 2,839 with…

With the 2022 season getting closer and closer to reality, it’s time to take a look at the best players Auburn has to offer this season. #5. Marcus Harris, DL, (RS) Junior Coming in at number five is defensive lineman Marcus Harris. Harris had a good last season for the Tigers and is looking to have an even better year in 2022. The former Kansas Jayhawk earned a starting spot in his first season as a Tiger. Harris has put on about 15 lbs this offseason so he’s sure to be more of a force on the inside. Harris put…
