AUBURN’S GETS SPREAD-UCATED
The replacement for Al “Gorgeous” Borges this season won’t have to pay more for moving expenses, as he’ll be trundling his goods right down the road 61 miles from his current home Troy, Alabama to Auburn: Tony Franklin, offensive coordinator for the Trojans and Leach/Mumme pass fiend, will be taking his four and five wide sets to Auburn this season.
Auburn fans who saw the words “Mumme” and just passed out, please pick yourselves up off the floor and note that Franklin is the pilot of the Omar Haugabook offense that scared the daylights out of Georgia in 2007 and were 17th in the nation in total offense. They also lost to Florida Atlantic, but when you fight Schnellenberger, you fight ten men in one. Ten men in snazzy ties, man.
You can’t beat this kind of sexy, boy.

…..We’ll gladly take him. I hated to see Borges go, but I think our personnel are much better suite to the spread, anyway. Well, as long as Tuberville doesn’t have us dumbed down to running the read-option every play!
…..I think the Boom is gone. We should have already made contact with Jon Tenuta, and be trying to sign him up!

Scared?
Not really. Would’ve been nice to stop ‘em a few more times, but I’m sure Florida fans were saying the same thing earlier in the year.

Auburn had this plan for a while, they just had to wait for Brandon COx to graduate, as that system requires a QB to run it.

#4, I knew he was complimenting us and I appreciate his positive opinion of the situation. I was just working the fact that AU swept UF in our home and home series into a comment about how good this hire is for our program. Didn’t mean for it to sound mean-spirited, just sarcastic.

If Boom MF’er Yeah That’s What I’m Talking About goes to Arkansas…why not bring Coach O in to head up the defense. We could blitz 2 LB’s and a DB every play and it woud make perfect sense.

Borges – 16.3 ppg against Florida, UGA, and Arkie
Franklin – 30.3 ppg against Florida, UGA, and Arkie
If Boom motherfucker leaves, they will hire Ed Orgeron as DC, yaw yaw motherfuckers

Aw, man. I was so hoping we’d hire Kevin Cosgrove as OC. He oversaw quite an offensive explosion at Nebraska.

I may be late to the game…but it is an abomination if Howard Schnellenberger has never been the featured act on Mustache Wednesday!
If not – next Wednesday, perhaps? In honor of the Owls first bowl game?

Let’s see, the Spread Eagle offense coupled with player biting police dogs. There would be some serious home-field advantage in there if the dogs would bite the other teams players!
HA HA HA!!
War Eagle!

mmmm…..I really do not like this hire for your OC. SEC athletes running that offense will not be fun to defend. Hell the Troy athletes were not fun to defend. Thank God he doesn’t have a QB on the plains that can run it.

#22, you are wrong, so wrong about our QB stock – in addition to Kodi Burns on campus already, we’ve got committments from DeRon Furr and his #1 receiver Jarmon Fortner who are poised to win the Georgia AAA state championship this weekend running the spread. Oh, and there’s the other QB commit, Barrett Trotter, who ran the spread all the way to the Alabama 5A championship game.

TIGERinATL says:
And I’m pretty sure Kodi Burns could pull it off. I was sure they’d reshirt him in 2008 so he could absorb more of Borges’ advanced calculus level playbook. But now I think Kodi is our starter next year.

NativeSon says:
But, why would AU do that? The spread O won’t work in the SEC. The defenses are too fast. It’s a gimmicky, trickeration-riddled overhyped joke of an offense. I read that on-line so I know it’s true. Other things I’ve learned on the interwebs:
1) Charlie Weiss is a genius/savior/guru
2) X Lee at F$U is an early favorite for Heisman 2008
3) Tebow can’t pass.

Biggus Rickus says:
I saw someone comment that Auburn has the personnel to run this. How is that? Their receivers were their second biggest liability behind the OLine. Still, it’s a good hire and the system does suit Burns, even though I have no idea how well he can throw the ball (please don’t throw out high school stats. They’re well nigh meaningless).

From what I’ve been hearing, Auburn isn’t actually going to the spread. They will introduce “elements of the spread”, similar to what LSU ran this year.

Spence says:
When the hell did troy’s offense “scare the daylights out of Georgia?” The final score of the game wasn’t as close as it appeared. They scored a late 8 with the walk-ons on the field, literally. Their coach did have some quotes in the paper afterwards, he appeared to have an inflated sense of importance. Noboby is scared of their quad right bubble screens. Auburn doesn’t have qb’s or receivers to make his offense work immediately. Troy was the best team in Alabama last year and Hougabook was the best qb. Franklin is going to feel similar to Bobby Petrino after next year.
