penny: ive got a fever. the only cure? MORE COWBELL!!

in the time i can remember watching college football, its hard to think back and name a bad auburn running back off of the top of my head. lets see...we have bo jackson, steven davis, rudi johnson, heath evans, ronnie brown, cadillac, and now heisman candidate kenny irons. you all remember kenny, he got benched by lou for dropping a screen pass and fell down the depth chart behind demetrius summers (last i heard was may when he was working on the cowboys rookie squad. any updates?). so now we watch our former recruit (who herschel walker has said is better than he ever was) lead the tigers along with a strong quarterback in brandon cox against a team who, well...you all watched the game last week.
quick update...micheal henig is out 6 to 8 weeks after we broke his collar bone last thursday....booyah. that means the same fumbling, unexperienced redhirt freshman tray rutland will take the snaps, with the teams primary wide-out serving as the back-up QB. sound like a 0-2 start for sylvester croom? the sad thing here is that he's really not a bad coach, coming in to take over this program after NCAA recruiting violations and with the caliber players he inhereted he hasnt done ALL that bad. but starting your season 0-2, in conference, when youre already on the hot seat doesnt bode well for croom. id say the one bright spot on this team is their defense, which aside from giving up a trick play to us looked pretty solid. quintin culberson impressed the hell out of me, seemed like he was in on every play in the game.
short story long, auburn wins this game. im sure they win big too, easily covering the spread and keeping the cowbelling to a minimum
