Auburn Counting on Freshmen

[AUTiger1]

YES.

If you ever see Zeke Pike kicking his own ass, he ran out of asses to kick.

Zeke doesn't take steroids.  Steroids take Zeke.

Zeke Pike spelled backwards is the entire U.S. Constitution.

The 2nd Amendment was originally written to give Zeke Pike the right to kick your ass.

Zeke Pike found the G-spot

Well since you put it that way....

Zeke Pike got a perfect score on the SAT simply by writing Zeke Pike as every answer.

Zeke Pike always has sex on the first date - always.

Zeke Pike is what Willis is talkin' bout.

If Zeke Pike is late, time had better slow the fuck down.

So is the consensus that Pike is going to come in 2012 as a true freshman, and take the starting job over a guy that has been running Malzhan's system since the 7th grade, led his team to three state titles in that offense and whose coach played under Malzhan, set state records and gave Gus his first state title as a player running the same system?

Didn't say this was concensus.  While that was admittedly kind of Prowleresque, please allow a girl to dream...  My fantasy?  Gus Malzan and THREE YEARS with a 6'6', 260 lb multi talented athletic QB.  We saw what he did with one of those when he only had one year...

See, that was my original thought too.

But if he's going to see playing time, I'd hope he's at least getting serious reps in game one. I want him cutting his teeth against Utah State, Mississippi State, and Florida Atlantic at home.

Not at South Carolina, at Arkansas, and at LSU.

Would a stat line similar to this suffice for Trotter in a Malzahn offense?  I don't think a freshman can pull it off unless he's already SEC ready. The completion percentage is very high but we lived with less than that last season. He just has to get rid of it, run it or throw it away if it's not there. Trotter has the playmakers around him to ensure success. And I think we only see Frazier if we are mashing a cupcake or failing miserably. Anybody else think we'll see Reed getting 5-10 snaps per game?

I know, it just seems that everyone is on the bandwagon and has forgotten about Fraizer.  Pike is gonna need some serious Yoxercise to get that big.  (6'5", 220)  Speaking of which, Frazier isn't a small lad either. (6'3" 212).  I guess I am not as sold on Pike as I am on Fraizer is all.  I knew that Gus had been on him for a long time and was pleased when we got him.

I would guess maybe three from each class do not go a full four or five years. And Pike probably redshirts unless the worst happens. He has work to do and lacks the polish of Frazier as a potential starter IMO because Frazier has run this offense since the seventh grade and Pike never has before. I'm just excited that Auburn is getting big-time talent at the QB position. Both are good recruiters for AU too. 

[CCTAU]

Cam had never run this offense either. I will take my chances With another freak of nature. I doubted the last one. Won't make that mistake again.
