The Other A-Day: Auburn Moves In Mysterious Ways

SBN’s Track ‘Em Tigers Isn’t pleased with the performance of Auburn’s receiving corps against easy competition in the spring game:

Receivers took a step backward in this game. We saw a number of drops. Tight end/H-back Jay Wisner had several go through his hands. The normally sure-handed Eric Smith had an ugly drop, although his blocking play was near-flawless. Phillip Lutzencirchen, the heir apparent at the “3” spot, appeared a bit bigger, and pretty awkward and slow receiving. He wouldn’t be the first athlete that the Auburn staff bulked up into receiver incapability. Onterio McCalebb got numerous looks at inside running. He was bigger looking, but still incapable of moving the pile. Heavier and a step slower, McCalebb is in danger of being sidelined.All this against very little of the first-team secondary, and they still managed close to 500 passing yards. Gus Malzahn is interesting.
