BUT, it's a myth.
This was posted on TI a few months ago. It's a copy and paste from an email that an Auburn fan had sent to a Bama fan discussing their recruiting.
Now, the 2009 class consist of their fifth year seniors. This deals with their 2010 class. According to 247sports their 2010 class ranked one spot below ours.
So, one would assume they should have a class full of talented kids...considering it was a class ranked in the top 10, right?
Then there's the facts of the matter: (these are not my comments)

Now, to add one thought to this...
All you hear right now about Auburn is their remarkable, miraculous...whatever name you want to put on the way they won against UGA.
Does that tell the story of that game?
No, this does.
Lost in all of the cries of "UNBELIEVABLE!!!" is a story that no one is talking about very much.There was an EPIC collapse of Auburn during the 4th quarter.
Gus Malzahn's vaunted offense was held to 24 yards on 4 possessions during the 4th quarter.
Nick Marshall was 3-7 for 13 yards, with one of the passes going for minus yardage. he was sacked twice.
On their next to last possession, when they had a 1 point lead and needed to possess the ball, Auburn went incomplete, incomplete, sack. When they needed to run, they tried to pass and couldn't.
On the last possession, 4 of their first 6 plays were for zero or negative yardage. They called a timeout because they were at
4th and 18.
4th and 18.
At that point, Auburn killed 975 cats to salvage all of the lives left in them and used those lives to resurrect their EPIC COLLPASE.
24 yards in the 4th quarter, surrendering a 20 point lead in less than 8 minutes. And it wasn't like they gave Georgia the points with turnovers. They simply collapsed and couldn't drive the ball, and couldn't stop UGA.
4th down.....
Marshall overlooked a WIDE OPEN receiver about 25 yards downfield, and OVERTHREW into double coverage by about 5 yards on a Hail Mary.
Even then, they needed the UGA secondary to take their brains out and stomp them into the turf. Georgia fought WITH EACH OTHER to intercept a ball they should have simply knocked down. Instead, they hit it UP into the air. Worse, they didn't even touch the Auburn WR. And worst of all, they knocked each other down.
Christmas came early for Auburn.
Without it, all of the talk today is about how Gus the Wundercoach blew a 20 point lead at home in the 4th quarter.
I'll close this post with this video...and it tells what I believe to be the story next Saturday.
