Auburn is starting to put in the game plan for Louisville. Football will be back very soon!
OK, some thoughts on the tweets...
Whew, it's great to hear everyone is back and practicing at full-speed, now. That's especially true of Tray Matthews. We really need him to be ready to start at one of the Safety positions against Louisville. Kerryon Johnson was pushing for a role, too, so him being back and going strong could make the running back battle even more interesting.
You have to love the comments that the position battles on the line and at running back remind him of 2013. As many folks have pointed out on Twitter, Gus sure seems confident in this team. He's sounding the happiest with the way practices have gone, he's been more vocal in interviews, and just seems to be genuinely happy with where things are right now.
Y'all, if I were the rest of the SEC I'd be scared as hell at that.
Other notes: Byron Cowart is a young kid. Duke is still with the 2nd team (I still doubt he starts against Louisville, but that won't mean anything). Auburn expects to have almost a home-field advantage in the Georgia Dome. War Damn, y'all.
Now to the Tweets...
