Looking at this information, Kodi did a better job of moving the offense. He was a lot less likely to have a drive netting less than 10 yards. Everything else they are relatively close with Kodi faring better in almost all areas. Todd is slightly better in points per drive, but if you factor in missed field goals, they are both the same. Again, both looked bad and we need improvement, but if you look at it from this point of view, Kodi moved the ball better than Todd. Right now it sounds like Caudle is separating himself from the pack with Trotter working with the 2′s and Kodi being very inaccurate this spring. Todd will get another shot this summer when his shoulder should be 100% from the surgery this past December. Don’t count out Moseley and Rollison who will stepping onto the plains this summer. May the best man win. War Eagle
The Iron Bowl is moving to Friday kickoffs the next two seasons.
That’s the word from Auburn, Alabama and the SEC Office this morning. CBS Sports moved the games to televise them nationally in 2009 and 2010.
This year’s game will be Nov. 27 at 1:30 p.m. in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The 2010 game will be Nov. 26 in Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. It will be the sixth Iron Bowl played on a Friday, according to Auburn.
More than 700 people signed up for the group encouraging Wall — a local standout and the nation’s No. 1 basketball recruit — to pick the Wolfpack by national signing day next week. But the NCAA says such sites, and dozens more like them wooing Wall and other top recruits, violate its rules. More than just cheerleading boards, the NCAA says the sites are an attempt to influence the college choice of a recruit.

IRON BOWL TO BE ON FRIDAY FOR 2009 and 2010 April 10, 200 ’The Iron Bowl will be played on Friday for the next two years.
CBS Sports has announced that it will televise the 2009 and 2010 Auburn-Alabama football games nationwide. Games in both years will be moving to Friday on the last weekend of the conference regular season schedule. “Moving the Iron Bowl is part of fulfilling the contractual arrangements between the Southeastern Conference and CBS,” Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said. “It will also be the marquee rivalry game that day and provide tremendous exposure on CBS for our program and our state.” The 2009 game will be played on Nov. 27 at 1:30 p.m. CT at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. It will be Gene Chizik‘s first Iron Bowl as Auburn’s head coach. “The Iron Bowl is the best rivalry in college football and the conference and CBS moving it to Friday will signify the kickoff of college football’s biggest weekend,” Chizik said. The 2010 game will be played on Nov. 26 (Time TBA) at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. CBS Sports is the exclusive national network broadcaster of Southeastern Conference football. |
