News of the day, 10/23

Hey everybody. We're moving right along on Tuesday, which is when we chop the wood around here as Will Muschamp would say. So check below for a smorgasbord of delicious information and opinions.

It's Tuesday, so you know what that means: Another insightful "Tuesdays with Tommy" segment. I actually struggled to pay attention today because there were only a few useful topics discussed. I already know Jerraud Powers is good. I already know that Quentin Groves is back from the toe injury. Bippity-boppity-boop.

We're so happy you strolled by to peruse the HOTTEST Auburn blog on the 'net. We hope it satisfies you.

Here are your weekly flash quotes from coach Tommy Tuberville:

*On struggles at LSU: "The bottom line is that we didn't coach very well in the third quarter. Somewhere during the game, we lost our edge."

*On the loss being a moral victory: "We don't want to hear people saying 'You're close.' We're there."

*On Jerraud Powers' effort during the final play:
``It was great coverage. He hung with the guy. You can't cover a perfect pass. Can't do it."

*On not overlooking a struggling Ole Miss team this weekend: ``You can't look at past performances. You have to look at the present. This team (Auburn) has been pretty on-track with that."

*On WR Rob Dunn and his chances of playing this week:
"He has a lot of work
ahead with coach (Greg) Knox. I washed my hands of it once he was on the team and back into the fold. He has to prove it to his position coach and to the players."

*On LB Merrill Johnson and S Aairon Savage not playing against LSU:
``They could have played. The speed of that game is a little different."

-----BRANDON COX-----

*On the LSU game: "It's been hard to sleep the last couple of nights. I'm trying to avoid watching that film."

*On regrouping after the loss: "I'm ready to get back out there and play."

*On Rob Dunn's apology: "He apologized and we moved on."

Here are your top defensive producers from the Arkansas game game. Players are given points for doing significant things correctly. They are docked points for missing assignments, missing tackles, penalties or loafing.

Here is the full rundown of point distribution.
