08:21 AM ET 05.02 | This is a good year to be a talented linebacker who would like to play at Auburn. Auburn loaded up with 11 offensive linemen in its last two recruiting classes. Coach Gene Chizik will be focusing on another area in the 2013 signing class. "Linebacker is going to be a huge, huge priority for us moving forward," he said on the Smash Mouth radio show at 97.3 The Zone in Birmingham this morning. "We're a little thin there. That's one on the positions defensively we are the thinnest, so we're really going to have to ramp up our recruiting in terms of linebackers and the level of play at that position." Auburn is on its way to fill the void. Three of its eight commitments are linebackers.

Only time a weak link happens is when the bagmen are overdrawn at the ATM...

I dunno, sometimes all the limos are rented, so they have to rent a box truck for prowling in. That's never impressive.

Lucifer's Vessel at the 2012 Auburn game: Run it off tackle! Then, hit the edges! Put [RB with hands] in the flanker slot. Drag him and the tight ends across the middle shallow! Frustrate the Hell out of 'em! Then, hit 'em deep to score! Strip away their confidence and erode their will! I want to see 'em subbing everybody & the back-up kicker at linebacker! Then, we'll pound them! Grind into them! Steamroll 'em, body & soul! Don't let up one iota until there's no time left on the clock! We'll hang a lopsided score on them and leave them scarred!
