Johnny Dwight was/is suspended, too?

I wonder if Tony knows what the decision is, the article didn't say.

I'm sure Tony knows, too.

Were they both recruited by OM perchance?

Well, you may have forgot but I've been waiting to see when he is available and what that could mean for the secondary. I've figured he'd end up being the star thus allowing Fitzpatrick and Humphrey to be dedicated outside corners. Averett hasn't done poorly but Fitz/Hump/Brown is our most experienced trio of corners.

We'll sure notice it when he comes back. He was really needed with the attrition Saturday...
Yes he was. When Fitz and Eddie were out and we went to dime, Ole miss TORCHED us in the 4th quarter. Approx 150 yards on 13 plays. all passing. No guarantee TB would have fared better, but we had two guys out there who'd barely played in Carter and Thompson and that's not ideal against a QB like kelly.

Averrett seems to be playing well.

I am definitely looking forward to Tony returning to the lineup, and I think he will make an immediate impact in the secondary as well as special teams if they continue to use him there as in the past.

Beyond the ability to plan personnel, the fact that Saban knows when the suspension ends, but can't say when that is, doesn't sound good.

If Brown were scheduled to be eligible against KSU or UK, you have to figure the NCAA would be OK with announcing that. Sounds to me like this is at least half the season, but not the full year.

Anybody else have a different read?

Very peculiar situation. He is a supreme talent though and I hope dearly that he will be back in the rotation sooner than later. Someone asked about OM but I believe this has something to do with behavior from last season. No confirmed word on that or anything, but I think it's more likely than a tie with OM. Who knows, though.

Didn't realize Thompson was out there. Add Hootie to the mix, too. While he's a junior, he has very little experience.

good point about hootie. Out of the 6 guys on the field as DBs then, only Hump was a true starter last year with Harrison being a solid role player in dime...
