Sure, Rebels quarterback Chad Kelly made a Heisman splash on Saturday night as well and is No. 4 in Bleacher Report’s current top five. Hopefully this won’t be the most impressive tape Fournette has this year, because that would mean every defense in the SEC plays as ineptly as Auburn.

If I’m Dan Mullen, I’m game planning for two quarterbacks this week in practice. It was the most points a Steve-Spurrier coached team has ever given up to Georgia. We all knew coming into the season they could struggle after losing so many key starters, but then again… a lot of people didn’t because they already had Johnson tabbed as the next Cam Newton.
