Auburn Plainsman Georgia and Auburn are the only two SEC teams whose projected offensive line starters combine for 100 or more career starts . . . If Auburn is ever looking for a permanent non-conference rivalry game, this seems like it would be a good fit . . . The redshirt sophomore walk-on was hard to ignore simply because safeties coach Tommy Thigpen wouldn't stop talking about him . . . While Justin Garrett may not have 40 offers like his ballyhooed teammate, he's good enough to have attracted the attention of almost every ACC and SEC school . . . Depth is on the way . . . The pecking order behind new starter Cam Newton, a junior college transfer who originally signed with Florida two years ago, is not clear . . . Onterio McCalebb is listed at 171 . . . Four of the five projected offensive line starters weigh 299 pounds or more . . . Another 5-0 start is possible this year, but just like in 2009, the second half of the season brings a load of heavyweight SEC bouts . . . There's nothing like adding three veteran leaders back to the mix, and that's what Auburn will do with senior safeties Zac Etheridge, Aairon Savage and Mike McNeil . . . The quarterback situation remains fluid. The defense has some issues. And the Bulldogs play a brutal schedule . . . Garrett had offers from more than 10 schools, including Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Clemson and FSU . . . What is the one game you want to win more than any other? . . . With 15 starters coming back they should see an improvement in their overall record . . . The Tigers will line up with a pair of senior All-SEC candidates in Josh Bynes and Craig Stevens . . . Luper said Dyer will run with Mario Fannin and Onterio McCalebb at tailback as Auburn adjusts to life without Ben Tate . . . Garrett had offers from more than a dozen schools, including Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Clemson and Florida State . . . Justin Garrett, a 6-foot-2, 196-pound player from Tucker High became Auburn's 12th commitment . . . Smith was arguably one of Auburn's most valuable offensive players . . . The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Garrett is the Tigers' 12th commitment for 2011 and their second linebacker . . . The Tigers will line up with a pair of senior All-SEC candidates in Josh Bynes and Craig Stevens . . . While the Red Wolves showed some grit against Iowa, they underachieved, winning only four games, the second lowest total of Roberts' run in Jonesboro . . . Is it possible that the Chizik/Muschamp style is a better fit for a school like Auburn, whereas Rhoads' style is a better fit for Iowa State? . . .
