News Article: Auburn starting QB will be game-time decision

Very interesting that the starting RB thinks the starter is obvious. However, the coaching staff says that they both are neck and neck.. Hmmm..

Sounds alot like the guy the coaches want to start has not distanced himself from whom the players think should start. Something to watch..
 
This is going to be an interesting game for Auburn. I think ULM proved last season that they aren't going to just take a beatdown from a SEC team and a nice payday back to Louisiana. In fact, I expect a pretty decent showing out of them since they return alot of their studs from last season. Plus, they have seen the system before when it was at Troy, so there isn't going to be a surprise element there.

Auburn could have it's hands full on Saturday.

Well, I would say ULM would have a pretty decent chance, except they lost their star running back due to graduation.

Auburn should win this one, easily...just like Bama should have won last year, easily. We had no business losing to ULM, no mater what the circumstances were.

If Auburn gets too cutesy and they really don't have their new system in check, then they could stumble somehwhat in the game, but it's a game they should win. If they don't, it will be a longggggggg season on the Plains.
 
Then it's the white guy, Chris Todd. They know who it is and if it was Burns, they would say so. A lot of tension on the plains these days.
 
I suspect that its Todds to lose as well. He played in Franklins offense in HS and followed Franklin to AU.
Burns is a good athlete and an excellent runner but is not geared for a strong passing offense like Todd. He came in under the Borges/West Coast system. I think if Burns had the arm to go with his running ability he'd be the starter. But from everything I've read, Todd seems to be the better passer and has a better understanding of whats expected in that offense.
They can spin this however they want, but you'd have to wonder if this a delicate way to hand the job to Todd without offending Burns. If thats the case, I suspect there are few on the team choosing sides.

They better nip it before it festers into something ugly. It may be best to install a package for the 2nd string guy if that's what it takes to keep team unity. Without all 11 guys playing hard for whomever is in the game at QB the offense does not stand a chance....I would hate to see their team become divided.:)

I know this might sound a bit odd for a Sunbelt team out of lowly Monroe, LA, but they reloaded. The backup to that star running back is probably better. I saw the kid run all over most 5A teams playing for West Monroe, LA (a perennial favorite to win the state champ. every year and high school of our own Luther Davis) a few years back and I think his YPC were better than that star running back named Calvin Dawson.

There's no doubt that the Barners shouldn't be able to paste ULM by 40+. However, we all have seen how equalizing the Spread Offense has become in college football and ULM has shown it can run it pretty decent. If I was betting, I would be all over ULM in this one.
 
Todd will start, but Burns (or Busts) will see just as much playing time. Tony "The Innovator of Controversy" Franklin will use a two quarterback system from here on out.

Come on people, Burns IS NOT that good of a QB. Sure, he was a "true freshman" last year, but Cox put on a better performance against MSU last year, and needless to say he did NOTHING against NMSU last season. And his numbers weren't very impressive in the spring game either.

Bingo ! . IMO , they don't want Burns to start pouting , divide the team and then transfer . From what I've heard out of cow-town , KB couldn't hit 50% of his passes if his life depended upon it .
 
Dude, they don't have a QB. Burns is by far their most talented QB, and I bet he doesn't have near a handle on that offense. He's a true Soph that's a runner, not a passer in a pass happy O. Todd isn't a SEC QB IMO, certainly not as of now.
 
Does anybody have STATS on their scrimmages???

other than and number of knives stabs or how many noses are broken and how many lips are busted
