Scouting Report

The Loveliest Village on the Plains puts together one heck of a pregame show between the tailgates that envelope the campus and the massive crowds that gather around the Tiger Walk. Auburn is a special place for all the Tiger fans that get to live through the highs and lows of their football program each year.

It seems that Auburn always has National Championship expectations entering each season. However, Cam Newton and Nick Marshall were the only quarterbacks able to lead Auburn to a National Championship game in the last 10 years.

The focus is now on Baylor transfer quarterback Jarrett Stidham. He’ll ultimately determine how good Auburn is this year. And that could determine how much excitement the Auburn fans come to their tailgate with each Saturday before they enter Jordan Hare Stadium.
