Two men bound and killed in Goodwater By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor
Investigators are searching for answers today after two men were found dead from what appeared to be gunshot wounds late Tuesday evening at a Goodwater residence on Old Dam Road. Officials from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation and Goodwater Police are awaiting autopsy results before releasing many details in the case. It was confirmed that the men had been bound
and the wounds were consistent with gunshots. ALEA Public Information Officer Sgt. Steve Jarrett identified the victims as Terrance Strong, 42, and Dantigo Kelley, 35, both of Goodwater. The first call to law enforcement came at about 8:30 p.m. Investigators from the ALEA’s State Bureau of Investigation, Goodwater Police Department and the Coosa County Sheriff’s Office responded, with SBI taking the Cliff Williams / The Outlook lead on the investigation. Crime scene tape limits access to a home on Old Dam Road in Goodwater where two See KILLINGS, Page 5 men were found dead late Tuesday evening, having been bound and shot to death.

BRHS students hope to float team to victory Seniors and others prep for Homecoming Parade By Mia Osborn Outlook Staff Writer
On Friday night, the Benjamin Russell High School Wildcats will face down the Eufaula Tigers at the BRHS Homecoming game. But no matter who wins on the football field, BRHS students will already have something to celebrate: finishing their parade floats. “We’ve been working for three weeks,” said Scout Treadwell, BRHS Senior and SGA President. “This week we’ll be putting on the finishing touches.” Students have been working like crazy since the planning meeting in late August. Students and parents have organized every part of the floats, from planning the theme to building the frames to painting, light and sound. Many students have had their hands full working on floats for both their class and activities such as cheerleading. Treadwell herself is working on the senior class float as well as the one for the dance team. Her favorite float is the one belonging to the senior class. The theme is “TickTock the Tigers” and in true Cinderella form, it’s complete with a clock tower and a pumpkin carriage. “I’m excited...I’ve never been able to ride on a class float because I’m usually See FLOATS, Page 5

Dadeville appears to be on its way to having an ordinance banning saggy pants but one council member wants to make sure it is equitable. “My concern is it should be for everybody,” Dadeville City Council member Stephanie Kelley said at Tuesday’s Council meeting. “I think for the girls, with these shorts up so high looking like under garments and dresses so short, I don’t want us to be showing favoritism.” The sagging pants issue was first brought forward by fellow council member Frank Goodman at the Aug 25 meeting. Goodman further explained his reasons for the ordinance to ban ‘slacking.’ “It is about respect,” Goodman said. “Who is going to respect you if you don’t respect yourself. The reason I brought this up is I think people deserve respect when they are in public. I think slacking is disrespectful. I think it gives our younger generation See PANTS, Page 5

If you’re looking for a place where your child can experience an interesting mixture of academics and fun either after the school day or during the summer months, then the Boys & Girls Club of the Lake Martin Area – which has served Tallapoosa County and vicinity since 1997 – is the right option for you. “We try to use our summer programs as a time to have fun, but still do a few little things to keep the children’s brains engaged so that their minds are sharp when school rolls back around,” said Melissa Reynolds, executive director for the
Boys & Girls Club of the Lake Martin Area. “We go swimming, bowling, hiking, do some arts and crafts, have some visitors drop by with different animals. Like I said, the summer’s basically for fun and a lot of physical activity, but there’s a little bit of the educational side to keep their brains clicking.” About 230 children participated in the summer program this year. The after-school program, Reynolds said, concentrates on character and leaderships skills, an academic power hour and arts and David Granger / The Outlook crafts. This year, about 200 children Destiny Burns, left, and Abril Herver work on their school work are involved in the program. during ‘Power Hour’ at the Boys & Girls Club of the Lake Martin See SERVICE, Page 5 Area’s after-school program at Stephens Elementary School.

DEAR ABBY: At what point does a parent no longer have the right to know who their child’s friends are? I have three grown daughters, all on their own, living on the other side of the country. During a recent visit home for their grandmother’s birthday, I asked each of them to give me all of their friends’ phone numbers, in case I couldn’t reach them. I also wanted to know who they were exactly, how well they knew them, etc. I was simply thinking of their safety. If I can’t reach my girls, I want to know who might have seen them last and, if need be, give that information to the police. Abby, all three of them told me NO! They said they are grown women and can take care of themselves, and besides, if, God forbid, they didn’t want to answer their phone when I called, I sure as h--- didn’t need to be pestering their friends. They say they are adults, and that we (their dad and I) no longer have the right to “dictate” who they are friends with. I say

something really annoys me. My husband and I are usually early, and when we go to the movies, our friends ask us to pick up the tickets if we arrive first. After the movie we’ll grab a bite to eat and at the end of the evening say goodbye. The question is, how do we ask them for the money we laid out for the tickets if they forget to offer it? This has happened three times with different friends and we’re out the money. -ANNOYED IN TEANECK DEAR ANNOYED: There are a couple of ways to do it: As you hand the tickets over, you might say, “That’ll be $20, please.” But if that’s uncomfortable for you, the following day, you or your husband should call these “forgetful” friends and ask them to send you a check.

Our
Opinion
Change is needed in Alexander City
T
he Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled our fair city’s municipal court practices a “modern-day debtors’ prison.” Those would normally be fightin’ words. They claim that when a defendant in Alexander City Municipal Court is found guilty and immediately unable to pay the fine and/or court costs, that defendant goes directly to jail and must either work those debts off at a rate of $20 per day while in jail ($40 a day for trustees) or find family members or friends who can raise the money. There is no arranging payment over time, as occurs in most municipalities, including Auburn, Opelika, Dadeville, Phenix City, Clanton and Sylacauga. In fact, of all the municipalities The Outlook contacted, none – that’s zero – operate like Alexander City. The SPLC is seeking change to Alexander City’s current practice of refusing to offer payment arrangements and possibly award compensatory and punitive damages. Are the allegations true? If they are, is it wrong to demand immediate payment? We will let the court make that decision. Our local government has enjoyed its share of negative publicity lately. First, our mayor tried to award raises to city employees – including a healthy increase for his assistant – without going through the City Council as is required. Then, The Guardian, a newspaper from “across the pond,” sends a reporter to town to investigate a two-year-old story about a police officer’s perceived threat, despite the fact that the city’s insurance company had already settled the complaint. The sad part is that in the issues we have mentioned, most of the members of the city council had little or no knowledge of these practices until the news broke. We love Alexander City and we are tired of this type of publicity. Here at The Outlook, we have said it before, but it should be said again. Alexander City needs a change in its local government from the mayor-council model to a councilcity manager model. We need an experienced professional managing our city, one who will, as his or her first step, go through our municipal organization, ordinances and procedures searching for ways the City has been wasteful, or just plain wrong. Our fair city has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. There’s nothing we can do about that. But to continue to do things the same way and expect a different result? That’s called insanity.

Living life behind enemy lines
I
’ve been to a lot of great places in my life – places such as Disney, Daytona, and Dadeville. While Dadeville might not stand out as a great place to most readers, it is to me, because it’s where I come from. Technically, I was born at Lee County Hospital and lived in Opelika from day one, but my mama and daddy both hailed from the second largest city in Tallapoosa County, as did Archibald Curwood Jennings and Woodrow Wilson Washburn, my great-uncle and grandad, respectively. I’ll get to them later. I’ve also been to some places that can only be described as less than desirable. I spent almost three years of my life in Iraq, not to mention several weeks entertaining troops overseas in places such as Afghanistan. I’m writing this article from one of the scariest places on earth; I’m writing this article from Tuscaloosa. I’m behind enemy lines. The military teaches us to dress discreetly while overseas, so we don’t bring any unnecessary attention to ourselves. I probably should have practiced that in T-Town, but I just can’t help but wear my Auburn gear wherever I go. I guess I just have too much Auburn

in me. I have faith that I’ll be ok, because much like Gloria Gaynor, I will survive. I will survive because they already gave me their best shot, and I’m still standing. Yesterday, upon arriving, I’d planned on going to Dreamland BBQ for their world-famous ribs. I’ve had them before and knew they were incredibly delicious. In fact, “Ain’t nothing like ‘em.” They’ve also franchised outside of Tuscaloosa, so I knew they would be safe. As I approached enemy territory, I drove past another BBQ joint owned by a couple of guys named, get this, Archibald and Woodrow. Coincidence? I think not, but I could not pass it up. They obviously knew I was coming to town and had done their research on me. I had no choice but to stop. The place was not well lit and was more like a night club. It was sketchy and felt as if Al Capone or Big Al himself could’ve been lurking in the corner. I ordered
pulled pork and ribs and ordered it to go. I did not feel safe. I was born at night, but I was not born last night. Due to my keen senses, I made it out of there alive. I brought my food back to my hotel, and it was less than desirable. They were no doubt trying to off me. I didn’t eat very much of it, but I did eat some. This morning, I do not feel very well. My food was no doubt laced with Tide. I survived their assassination attempt and will get the last laugh when all is said and done. You see, I like to take things from hotels such as soap, shampoo, and conditioner. This time, I took three rolls of Angel Soft toilet paper from my room and will use it this year at Toomers Corner when Auburn wins the Iron Bowl. I win. They lose. I’m a survivor. War Eagle! I have two more days here. I’m ready for anything. I will survive. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

Reader upset over The Outlook publishing sex offender article and list Dear Editor, Shame on you on your sex offender article and posting next Saturday. The recidivism rate averages 8.2 percent. These are not dangerous monsters. These people have children and wives living with them! You might as well be passing out torches and pitchforks in your fear mongering. Children will
be humiliated and ostracized for no reason. And you will be responsible for vigilantism that kills the whole family. Besides, by some studies, 24 percent are actually innocent but were convicted by hysterics like you. Shame on you! Yvette Kaplinsky Dallas, Texas
We had law and order and respect when we had a strong religious presence Dear Editor, This is our winter of discontent. We have freedom from religion and homosexuals are out of the closet and demanding equal rights. Blacks have equal opportunity for jobs, education, scholarships and entitlements from the government. So why is everyone so unhappy, angry and ready to blowup? Is this the end of the world or just the end of our nation? Whatever it is, it is anarchy. This is the breakdown of law and order and more importantly it is the breakdown of religion. When we had a strong religious presence in the nation and “our religion was pushed on children”, according to the ACLU, we had law and order and respect for other people. Conservatives have been unable to come to grips with Liberal administrations, educators, and business leaders subtly indoctrinating us for socialists to be able to take over. George Soros is spending millions to foment riots. Bill Gates is spending billions to mold education into an indoctrination tool, which uses his soft-
ware and computers. Fox News donated 3 million dollars to Hilary Clinton’s campaign because conservative media makes more money when a liberal administration is in power. We aren’t just fed-up and frustrated with politicians and media trying to control us, we are scared to death that after two terms of Barack Obama, we won’t have a government with the ability to maneuver because of all the Agreements and Treaties that Obama is loading us with. We can’t impeach Obama because we would need to impeach or fire all the administration. In the line of succession for replacement of Obama both Biden and Boehner are Globalist. Impeachment proceedings would take time and energy away from the debate about the Trade Treaties. We need to tell our Legislators how we feel about the Iran Deal and the Trade Agreements. Both are bad for our national security and the free trade deals are not free and are bad for our national independence. That’s my opinion today, Sherry Sellers Alexander City
Stop looking for trouble, look to the positives in the community Dear Editor, The Dadeville City Council wants to address pants hanging off, for real? This is a 20-year-old problem, and now they are tired of it? Solve the big issues that the city faces. Yes, sagging pants are ugly. But, I say stop looking to the street and judging children, when it seems like an epidemic, but it is not. Go to the schools. I was at Council Middle School on Thursday, and I was very impressed by the children over there. When we got to the door a young man opened it with his leader and welcomed us to the school. As we walked down the hall, we came to another team where you register your name and we told
them the teacher’s name. They showed us where her room was. These young children were black and white, well dressed, taking leadership roles and doing it very well. During our time there all the children we saw were well dressed. There were no children with pants hanging. So let’s stop involving children in the legal system and commend these leaders and mentors that are working with these children. After all these years, unbelievable. Arlean Wyckoff Alexander City

Service “In our character and leadership program, we teach the children to be good citizens and leaders in the community, at school and at home,” Reynolds said. “We have a Torch Club and we learn about community service, public speaking and other skills that will help them in life.” In fact, at the recent Boys & Girls

Killings Autopsy results are still pending, so officials would not speculate on the exact time or a finalized cause of death. Officials also declined to verify if the term “execution style” was an accurate description of the murder scene. Family members of the victims indicated that law enforcement notified them of the deaths at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
help the children with math, science, reading and writing,” Reynolds said. “This year we’re really focusing on reading and writing. With all the emphasis on No Child Left Behind, kids are learning to speed-read, but they aren’t really comprehending. We want them be able to read and understand what they’ve read.” Reynolds said that about 47 percent of the Boys & Girls Club of the Lake Martin Area’s budget comes from the United Way. Those funds

Wednesday, some commented on the similarities between this case and the Dec. 9, 2005 killing of Ricky Ardeall Russell, a 24-year-old man who was found shot the same way in his Goodwater home. Russell died after receiving a single gunshot wound to the back of the head, said to be behind his right ear. Despite following every possible lead, no arrest was ever made in that case.
Jarrett confirmed that no arrests have been made, but investigators remained on the scene until late in the day Wednesday processing the scene and logging evidence. While law enforcement worked the scene, traffic on the street became heavy as motorists slowed to look at the activity. The killings are just the fourth and fifth in Goodwater in 25 years, officials said.
Pants the wrong impression of what is cool.” Goodman went on to explain other issues of ‘slacking.’ “We have people walking down the street with their hand in front of them holding up their pants,” Goodman said. “Then they have the nerve to walk into a place of business and ask for a job. If you come to my house you are going to pull them up before you get on my property, much less in my door. I prayed about this. I know that God would not go around with pants down.” Other council members indicated their support on the issues. “I have heard more favorable positive comments about us even considering this than I have on anything else since I have been on the council,” Council member James Tarpley said.

It is so noisy. I don’t want School Street rezoned. I don’t want this in my front door. Dadeville Building Inspector Michael Richardson explained that the project has been to the planning and zoning board. “They came before the planning and zoning board,” Richardson explained. “They are putting in a storage facility, completely enclosed. He was told by planning and zoning he had to maintain a set back of 60 feet off the road and that it had to be landscaped nicely.” Richardson also explained why the project had not been before the council. “According to the zoning board, there are no problems with it,” Richardson said. “The reason it did not come before you (council) is that no variance was needed.”
“Everything that has been said here, I agree with,” Council member Randy Foster said. Town attorney Robin Reynolds said he hopes to have the ordinance ready by the next council meeting. “I hope to have it ready for the next meeting,” Reynolds said. “If the council wants me to write in something for the females – it will take a little more creativity on my part.” School Street resident Erica Harris expressed her concern with the council about construction on Chapman Nursing Home property near her home. “I am getting tired of complaining about Mr. Chapman,” Harris said. “He is doing the same exact thing he did last time. He has earth movers that have been working the last two or three weeks. He is bringing in dump truck after dump truck with dirt.

The Tallassee Tribune
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might be bombarded by a call in the morning from someone who wants to use you as a sounding board. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind, but you could get thrown oďŹ&#x20AC; by the conversation and lose your sense of time. Consider taking a shortcut. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You know better than to spread yourself too thin. Slow down and prioritize. Be caring with those in your immediate environment. Cancel an outside commitment if need be. Consolidate rather than fragment. Tonight: Consider what you would like to do this coming weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might be so busy on the phone that you could miss what is going on around you. Remember to make some time for yourself. A friend or co-worker could surprise you with his or her response. Stay levelheaded. Be forthcoming. Tonight: At your favorite spot. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH What is happening around you allows you to step back and consider what you would do in the same situation. A friend or relative does the unexpected and throws you into some chaos. Hang in there, and know that everything will work out. Tonight: Do some shopping. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You are ď&#x192;&#x17E;ring on all cylinders. Even if you run into a problem or an angry person, you will ď&#x192;&#x17E;nd the right words to allow everyone to move on. A loved one at a distance ď&#x192;&#x17E;nds you to be unusually attractive, and will let you know that as well. Tonight: Be physical. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Deal with someone directly and with kindness. You might not want to be visible at the moment, and could choose to play it low-key. Understand that you will be missed! Use this day for yourself, and get some much-needed R and R. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Others might be more provocative than you would like, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have little choice except to deal with them. You have at least one friend from whom you never know what to expect. Keep your goals in mind, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong. Tonight: You will be missed if you stay home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Once more, you seem to end up accepting all the responsibilities of others. You might want to consider stopping this habit -- it is not good for your well-being. An older friend or relative will let you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You understand all the diďŹ&#x20AC;erent energies that are swirling around you through others. On some level, you will ď&#x192;&#x17E;nd it very amusing; however, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prefer to stay out of a problem rather than hop in the middle of it. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to a weekend getaway! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You will be in the mood to let others deal with the details of a certain situation rather than handling them yourself. You could feel as if you have not had enough time to get into a social mode yet. Others seem to be only too pleased to pitch in. Tonight: Surprises await you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Others go out of their way to get you going, and will encourage you to join in. You have a unique ability to make people feel appreciated. Many people might be seeking you out for that reason as well. Throw yourself into the moment. Tonight: What is stopping you? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Ideas and suggestions simply ď&#x192;&#x;y right out of your mouth. You might be surprised by everything that is happening around you. Be willing to go 100 percent in whatever you do. You will have nothing to worry about then! Tonight: Get some sleep while you can.

Lady Wildcats shine against Auburn, Elmore Co. By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
The Benjamin Russell Lady Wildcats have continued to improve with each match as the 2015 season progresses. The Lady Wildcats defeated Auburn and Elmore County high schools 2-0 in both matches of their tri-match on Tuesday in Alexander City. Pam Robinson, head coach of Benjamin Russell (6-6), said she is pleased with the improvements that her young Lady Wildcats squad is making with each match. “Auburn and Elmore County are both very scrappy teams. They had some good blockers and some pretty good hitters,” Robinson said. “I think we’re moving in the right direction. Like I’ve said, we’re very inexperienced on the varsity level, but I’m pleased with where we’re going. We’re not where we want to be yet, but I don’t think any team is where they want to be. If you’re where you want to be at this point of the year, there’s nowhere to go but down.” In particular, Robinson said she has been pleased with the leadership of her seniors off the court. “Our seniors are doing a wonderful job leading and working really
hard,” Robinson said. “They’re picking up slack for us, and they’re even doing the little things like getting jerseys together, handing them out and running things. Like, I was not here Friday and Tuesday and they did a great job of getting the court setup and getting things done.” And of course, the seniors have been making an impact on the court, Robinson said, and setting the tone for some of the younger players in the middle. “Tee and Dee Wyckoff and Maya Towns are all doing a great job leading. We have some young kids in the middle that are improving,” Robinson said. “I’m not sure one of them even played volleyball before the ninth grade, and the other just switched to the middle two weeks before the season started. And they’re both getting better and better as we go on. The seniors are also doing a good job on the court with Tee setting and Dee from the outside. “We’re rotating people in from the other left spot and they’re getting better, and we’re trying to gain more confidence and mental toughness as the season goes on.” The Lady Wildcats will return to Robert Hudson / The Outlook the court today at Central-Clay in a tri-match against Central-Clay and Benjamin Russell’s Ja’Tori Leonard (6) spikes the ball during Tuesday’s match against Elmore County High School. Woodland starting at 4:30 p.m.
Dadeville looks to rebound with region opener against Childersburg By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
The Dadeville Tigers are at a crossroads. But they will look to take the road to redemption following last week’s 68-33 defeat to Beauregard rather than suffer another loss when they open region play on Friday. The Dadeville Tigers (1-1) will host the Childersburg Tigers (1-2, 0-1 in Class 4A-Region 3) on Friday in their region opener at 7 p.m. Dadeville Coach Richard White said the Tigers can either work to get better or wallow in misery following last week’s humiliating home defeat to Beauregard. “When you get beat as bad as we got beat, you can go one of two ways: you can either accept what happened and work to get better or you can accept what happened and hang your head and feel sorry for yourself,” White said. “I’m hoping our kids will bounce back, and I believe they will. It was an embarrassing and humiliating loss we went through last week that was just humiliating for everyone. That was very out of character for Dadeville football and the way we play defense.” Childersburg enters Friday’s game following a 42-6 loss to Handley in their region opener. While White said the Dadeville defense is not elite, it must do a better job than last week in order to get back in the win column entering region play. “I’m not saying we’re a great defense by any means, but we’re not 68-points bad. It was just a culmination of things,” White said. “We were out of position all night, making wrong reads all night and didn’t tackle worth a flip, plus you’ve got to give Beauregard a lot of credit for executing their plays well. They were big, strong and fast. You put all of that together and it’s a recipe for disaster on defense for you. “I’m hoping getting into region play
with these first two games as tuneups and we still have something we can work for, so we can win our region, get into playoffs and those type of things.” White said he expects Childersburg to try and exploit the Dadeville run defense following a game where DHS gave up more than 300 yards rushing. “I’m expecting them to look at the film and see where we were vulnerable defensively, and they’re probably going to try and run some counters at us,” White said. “That’s what Beauregard did was try to get outside on us. I think Childersburg will try to throw the ball on us a little bit, but the main thing is I think they’re going to try and run it at us and see if they can have some success doing that. If we don’t tighten our chinstraps a little bit and grow up, it’s going to be another long night for us. But I think our kids are going to respond well.” White said he thinks his team will respond well to opening region play, as there seems to be a desire to get better in the locker room. “Our kids, a lot of them felt bad. There were tears in a few of their eyes, and I actually had two or three kids apologize for their play,” White said. “And that’s a good sign when you have kids that know they played bad and they want to get better and compete. Hopefully, we’ve got everything fixed to go out and play better this week.” A lot of Dadeville’s offensive firepower disappeared last week after senior quarterback ShawnDarius Jennings left the game in the second quarter with an injury. White said Jennings will be ready to play on Friday, but will be limited in his defensive play from the safety position. “ShawnD is fine. The doctor looked at him and said it may have been more heat related than anything,” White said. “ShawnD has to realize he’s 220 pounds and he can’t go up and take on a 290-

pound H-Back head-to-head. We’re going to limit his defense here the next week or two because he don’t need to take hits like that. He’s too valuable to us offensively to lose him.” And in order to come away from Friday’s region opener with the win, White said the Tigers will have to continue improving on offense and play much better assignment football on defense. “We’re going to have to play good
defense. Offensively, we clicked the first half last week where they couldn’t stop us and we couldn’t stop them,” White said. “ShawnD goes down, it limits what we can do in our passing game. So, I’m pleased offensively with what we’re doing. If we continue to do what we do offensively and get better every week, we’ll be fine. Defense is where my concern is. We’ve got to be a better tackling football team and do better at playing our assignments.”
The Auburn offense conundrum and other post-Saturday ramblings
W
hat’s wrong with Auburn’s offense? I’ve heard this over and over since the sixth-ranked Tigers held off Louisville 31-24 Saturday in Atlanta. True, Auburn put up 31 points on a stingy Cardinal defense, but one touchdown was a defensive scoop n’ score and another was set up by an interception on the first play of the game. From my perch in the Georgia Dome, I spotted plenty of perceived issues. What sticks out the most is an identity crisis. Running backs Roc Thomas, Peyton Barber and Jovon Robinson had never started an FBS game. Junior quarterback Jeremy Johnson is expected to live up to preseason hype with only one proven wide receiver, Duke Williams, who certainly gets the attention of the defense. No wonder Ricardo Louis, who has yet to truly establish himself as a go-to guy
JOE MCADORY Sports Columnist
other than the miracle play two years ago against Georgia, was targeted so often. There is no proven tight end, either. In fact, I don’t remember one being used. Suddenly, these players are supposed to mesh as a highscoring unit, right? Another thing, I’m not sure Johnson is that comfortable directing the read option. So many hand-offs appeared telegraphed and predestined before the snap was made. Two years ago, I remember Nick Marshall trotting alongside Tre Mason for a few steps before he either kept it and raced around the end, or shoved it in Mason’s
gut. It was foolproof. Saturday was also the first time this line played together. Barring injuries, I expect this group to be a strength down the stretch. And then there’s the “Auburn Fast” mantra. From what I see, the Tiger offense is “Auburn Fast” back to the line of scrimmage, where several seconds tick off before anything happens. This didn’t happen two years ago. Many people’s concerns after Louisville should either be realized when Auburn plays at LSU on Sept. 19, or put to rest. Other post-Saturday ramblings … Alabama looked like an NFL team against Wisconsin. The Tide’s power running game masked whatever insufficiencies quarterback Jake Coker might have and even opened the door for him to succeed. If you
can run at will, you can control the game. See Auburn 2013. Oh yeah, and that defense … Should we be jumping on the Texas A&M bandwagon after the Aggies’ relatively easy win over Arizona State? Perhaps. Quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray perfectly complement each other and give this offense an opportunity to put a lot of points on the board. What impressed me most was the Aggie defense. Like Auburn’s defensive turnaround on Saturday, the Aggie front line looked downright scary. But remember – A&M whipped South Carolina in the 2014 opener and the talking heads were talking playoffs. Tread lightly, for now. Some question cupcakes added to strong teams’ schedules. You know, Eastern Tennessee State at Alabama, Jacksonville State at Auburn,
Tennessee-Martin at Ole Miss, Central Alabama Community College at Ohio State. But seriously, all schools benefit – unless a cupcake goes Appalachian State on an FBS Goliath and pulls the stunner of the century. Then it isn’t so funny. Well, it can be. Depends. Anyway, small schools get fat paychecks and large schools earn massive home gates worth millions in revenue and, usually, the easy ‘W.’ If ESPN can make unnecessarily way-too-early playoff picks, then so can I.
