Definitely a top 3 rounder. Maybe late 2nd rounder. If he plays for a good line and gets 20 carries a game, he’s a consistent 1000 yard rusher. He will have 1000 this year easily. He’s averaging 7.2 per carry.

I've been very critical of Auburn this year as a fan. But we don't have a D1 caliber QB on the roster. I think it's possible that we may have been optimistic 1 year too early. If you think about it, our losses are close (mostly). We have the worst quarterback I've ever seen, and we STILL could conceivably earn a bowl bid. It's not likely. In fact, it would take one too many miracles. But the fact that we have even a single SEC road win is remarkable, when you realize that our wins the last two years have come DESPITE Peyton Thorne. I really do think we would be just as good, if not better, if we just ran the ball and threw purposeful incompletions just to avoid interceptions.

UCF fan here. For the love of god will you please take Gus Malzahn back! I can't listen to any more stupid press conferences of Gus making excuses! Auburn fans were warning us when Gus took over. We didn't listen. The entire alumni and student body is absolutely horrified at the results. Malzhan has taken a UCF team that was smoking everybody in their path. We were a power 5 team before we entered the Power 5. Good old Gus ran several of our top notch Quarterbacks out of town so he can have a one dimensional offense and just run the ball. Let me remind you that our starter was Dillon Garbriel. Dillon is now the QB for number ONE ranked Oregon Ducks. Dillon saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship. Mikey Keene, was an outstanding QB that wanted to stay but jumped ship and is the starter for Fresno State. Castellanos is another QB that left and is the starter for Boston College. I'm going to PUKE. I was at the game against BYU and the UCF fans were yelling "FIRE GUS" We've had enough. He's ruined the program. Back to Auburn!
