After Saturday’s season opener against Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn’s quarterback competition will remain a hot topic of conversation.

The main question, though, might be, “Who hands off the best?”

There’s a reason the mural of Pat Dye in Jordan-Hare Stadium’s south end zone was scowling Saturday night.

It didn’t take long for Robert Dunn to escape the doghouse.

Antonio Coleman knew it was going to happen. He saw it in his dreams.

ATLANTA — A tornado helped derail the last Alabama team to play in the Georgia Dome. Thunder and Lightning weren’t nearly enough Saturday night.

Brundidge native Nick Walker had a career-high in yards (67 ) and catches (7) during the game. The tight end also had a 4-yard touchdown catch. His previous best game yardage-wise came against Ole Miss in 2005, when he compiled 46 yards. His previous high in catches was five in last season’s opener against Western Carolina. 

Who will be Auburn’s quarterback?

With so much of the preseason coverage of the Auburn football team devoted to the always-interesting quarterback race, it can be easy to forget that there are actually 10 other players on offense, every play. (It’s true — we looked it up.)

Finally, the speculation ends. Alabama unveils Year 2 of the Nick Saban era tonight against ninth-ranked Clemson.
