In the shadows. They will play fast and loose on d and be forced to run the ball if they want to win. They usually have success at that. However, my Auburn friends swear that the coaching staff doesn't "trust" (thier words not mine) Cox to throw the ball more than 13 yards, something he will need to do in order to win significant games this year. The Iron Bowl will be a toss-up unless there are significant backfield injuries on one of the teams.

We’re not sold on Brandon Cox at quarterback. At. All. Their offensive production has gone down each of the last three years." I'm not completely sold on him either, but he was hurt for most of last year, and 1/2 of the playbook was thrown out to his limited abilities as a result of the injuries (explaining the drop in offensive production last year). Cox also has a 7-1 SEC road record (granted he's never been to the Swamp), the only loss being to LSU in OT in Baton Rouge in '05, and that certainly wasn't his fault (5 missed FG's, and a flurry of dropped passes). Could Phil Steele having Auburn at #41 have an influence here, too? “1. We’re not sold on Brandon Cox at quarterback. At. All. Their offensive production has gone down each of the last three years.”

Their 2003-2006 classes were ranked 45-52-68-45 by Rivals. Individual players may play far from their projections, but four classes of 2-3's consistently lose to four classes of 3-4*'s. They were a very opportunistic team in a subpar conference. In last season's SEC, they fall somewhere between Vanderbilt and Alabama. If not for North Carolina shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers in a five point loss, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. The Tarheels lost their other eight by an average of 20 points in a mediocre at best ACC. They were a very bad team, but outgained Rutgers before finding a way to lose, as bad teams are wont to do.

Now, there just isn't the same talent. Sure, some guys will break out and surprise, but as of right now Quenton Groves is the only bona-fide stud; Cox scares nobody. Tuberville will finagle a few wins he shouldn't, and added to the fact that every other team in the SEC has major question marks other than LSU, Auburn could pull off a decent season. 2004 J.Campbell was able to excel because he had no pressure and 2 NFL quality RB's in the backfield. Cox doesn't have the knees, talent, backfield, line, or receivers that Cambell had. The difference between Auburn 2004 is that then, there was talent on campus that had previously underachieved.
