Mark my words. The 2012 Auburn football season is going to be a first class cluster.
I know they are somewhere just north of 70 scholarship players for 2012. I have a good sense that of that number, they will be able to count on somewhere around 65. Seven guys have been run off or quit. Another two might not make it.
Of the skill players they signed in 2012, they might get two or three on the field. Of the senior leadership they expected this season... well, I don't want to get ugly.
In 2010, I picked Auburn as my Dark Horse candidate to win the SEC, so I'm not just homering.
From what I've seen in the offseason, during spring practice and fall camp...
Coach 5-19 is back in his toothless glory.
