How to watch Auburn baseball vs. Stetson in the Auburn Regional
Auburn baseball took down Central Connecticut on Friday, 9-5, to advance to the winner's bracket of the Auburn Regional. The Tigers return to the field on Saturday night to face the Stetson Hatters for the chance to earn a spot at the regional championship game on Sunday at Plainsman Park in Auburn, Alabama.
Auburn jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the 1st inning of Friday's game against Central Connecticut before the Blue Devils stormed back to tie the game in the 3rd inning. The Tigers quickly re-gained control in the bottom frame of the 3rd inning by adding four more runs to take an 8-4 lead. Bub Terrell's sacrifice fly in the 4th inning to score Eric Snow was enough to solidify the 9-5 win over the Blue Devils.
For Stetson, the Hatters advanced to the winner's bracket by defeating NC State, 11-2. Stetson set the tone early by jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the 1st inning. Auburn head coach Butch Thompson shared his evaluation of the Hatters during Friday's press conference.
"I watched probably six innings of (Stetson vs. NC State) to be honest with you today, I just thought they did everything well. That's as buttoned up of. a team as I feel like I've seen recently. I thought the shortstop defended, the third baseman had like three doubles in the ball game. I thought the angles on their bunts were crisp, sharp. They are able to steal the base, I know they are in excess of 120 stolen bases now. It's going to be a lot of right-handers if they duplicate what they did, or close to it, tomorrow what they did today with seven rightys and a few leftys in that lineup. They threw their all-conference pitcher today who just absolutely had a plus changeup and would stick a fastball in. They looked like a very complete, sound ball club, and I thought they played fast. So tempo, all those things will be things that we talk about with our ballclub about tomorrow. We haven't told the team anything so we will have to have a good pregame setting with that. The coaches have, the coaches have been working for a week on each of these teams. But I have to say that I was impressed with Stetson and their rhythm. I thought they played fast and confident and run around-- the right fielder caught six or seven balls running line in the gap. They played a really good baseball game today against a really good team."

Auburn football revises history, now claims nine national championships
Auburn football has posted several impressive seasons in its history; however, it has claimed just two national championships. Those records were rewritten on Tuesday as Auburn athletics and Athletics Director John Cohen have officially decided to claim seven additional national championships and three more conference championships, bringing its overall total to nine and 15, respectively. In addition to its 1957 and 2010 national championships, Auburn will now officially claim championships from 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993, and 2004. Auburn Undercover, which was one of several outlets to break the news, shared a statement from Cohen regarding the decision to rewrite the history books and recognize more titles. "For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program's storied history – choosing to recognize only Associated Press national championships. Starting this fall, we have made the decision to honor the accomplishments of our deserving student-athletes, coaches, and teams from Auburn's proud history. Our visible national championship recognitions now align with the well-established standard used by the NCAA's official record book and our peers across the nation." Here is a deep dive into Auburn's newly claimed national titles, and where the Tigers finished each season in the Associated Press poll. 1910 Auburn, then known as Alabama Polytechnic Institute, finished the 1910 season with a 6-1 overall record and a 5-0 mark in SIAA play, tying Vanderbilt for the conference title. Auburn stumbled on the road at Texas that season, 9-0, but it did not affect the Maxwell Ratings and College Football Rankings from selecting Auburn as national champions. 1913 Auburn dominated the 1913 season by finishing 8-0 and outpacing their opponents, 224-13. Its margin of victory over its foes is what led the Tigers to win the 1913 title, as Billingsley's MOV (margin of victory) listed Auburn as the 1913 national champions. 1914 Auburn also went unbeaten in 1914, not allowing a single point. Their lone blemish on their schedule was a scoreless tie with rival Georgia. James Howell's Power Ratings System recognized the Tigers as national champions this season, giving Auburn credit for its dominating season. 1958 One year after Auburn won its first "official" title, before Tuesday's announcement, Auburn built another unbeaten season, finishing 9-0-1 on the year and winning the national title thanks to a nod from David Montgomery. 1983 The first Auburn national championship of the "Associated Press poll" era took place in 1983 when the Tigers finished No. 3 in the final AP poll of the season behind Nebraska and Miami. Nebraska lost to Miami in the Orange Bowl that season, which was the de facto National Championship game. Despite not playing for the title, Auburn received seven first-place votes, 2.5 more votes than the Cornhuskers. 1993 Auburn's 1993 season was unforgettable, even if only a small chunk of the fan base got to witness the season live. The team was under probation following a pay-for-play scandal, which eliminated Auburn's chances of playing in front of a televised audience and playing in a postseason game. Despite the penalties, Auburn finished the season with an 11-0 record in Terry Bowdon's first season at the helm and was crowned national champions by the National Championship Foundation. Auburn finished No. 4 in the AP poll that season behind Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Florida State. Auburn was the only unbeaten team to finish the 1993 season ranked. 2004 The College Football Playoff would have come in handy during the 2004 season as four teams concluded the regular season without a loss. Auburn, USC, Oklahoma, and Utah were deserving of a chance to play for a title, but only the Trojans and Sooners earned the right to compete for it. Auburn concluded its SEC Championship-winning season with a 16-13 win over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl, and four players from that roster went on to become first-round picks in the 2005 NFL draft. The Tigers finished No. 2 in the AP poll that season behind national champion USC.

Purdue football's nagging passing game issue, trench warfare and Big Ten visitor: Boiler camp intel
Purdue football's passing game issues don't stem from quarterback play. Though Barry Odom hasn't named a starter yet, the bigger issue is with the wide receivers. Purdue's offensive line is taking shape but is still looking for someone to emerge at the ever-critical center position. Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti visited Purdue's practice, which was among several notable notes. WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue football enters Wednesday's practice — the final one designated as preseason training camp — unsettled at the interior offensive line positions. The problem has not been performance, per se, but merely knowing who is available and settling on an alignment. Jalen St. John is the clear front-runner at left guard. Center and right guard, though, could still go to anyone from the group of Bradyn Joiner, Marc Nave Jr., Ethan Trent and Giordano Vaccaro. "All of them have played in the middle and can play either side of it, and that creates depth," offensive line coach Vance Vice said. "... I haven't used any tackles yet to snap, but it's always something that creates value for me." Joiner made the most of his opportunity last year with Auburn, starting five of the 10 games he played and making the SEC All-Freshman team. He played 486 snaps, and according to PFF, all came at left guard (472) or right guard (14). "Most of his snaps were at guard, but I knew he was a center," Vice said. "That value, and actually having been on the playing field before and having productive snaps and important snap, critical snaps. He's came in here and jumped in the playbook and got that. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. "Now he's getting a little of his swag back to him, because he knows what to do now. Probably the last five or six days he's kind of taken off with this." Zionsville grad Joey Tanona has enjoyed his first normal offseason and preseason in a few years. Having once retired from football due to the effects of a car crash while playing at Notre Dame, Tonona has been able to ramp up normally into the season. He's also the projected starting left tackle — something he would have had a hard time imagining only a couple of years ago. Fellow tenured Boilermaker Bakyne Coly, projected to start at right tackle, said his teammate is "more than ready" for the opportunity. "I've never felt this prepared going into Week 1 ever in my entire life," Tanona said. "I'm just supr thankful we are getting put in numerous different situations and our practices are this hard, so the games are going to be really easy." Coly has a basketball background, started playing offensive line relatively late in his career and first played at NAIA Lawrence Tech. Vice called him an "unbelievable talent" and a "warrior." Coly credited his tutelage under Marcus Mbow, a fifth-round pick of the New York Giants in April, for preparing him for this monent. "I feel like we work the same as far as athleticism and working and speed and agility," Coly said. "So being able to use that along with my size has been a big one." Purdue football wide receivers have drops issue Tuesday's quarterback usage more or less mirrored what we saw Monday. Barry Odom is next scheduled to address the media Thursday, which is likely when a starting quarterback announcement — presumably Ryan Browne — will come. For what it's worth, Browne more than ever walks the field with a starting quarterback's swagger. We'll settle for body language hints until the coaches' actual language gives the official word. It has become clear, though, quarterback identity is not the passing game's biggest issue. 'That's my QB1.' No decision made but Purdue football quarterback competition has frontrunner Receivers coach Cornell Ford came out of the first scrimmage with concerns about his group's reliability. Tuesday's practice indicated those concerns have not been alleviated. Drops have been a recurring problem for multiple receivers expected to be on the two-deep on opening day. While the Boilermakers are expected to establish the run, this does not look like an offense with the margin for error to drop potential first downs and deep shots. Ford admitted as much last week — his receivers need to help their quarterbacks more. "Man, we gotta catch more balls, make more plays," Ford said last week, before the second scrimmage. "Third down was just OK. And we're certainly capable of doing it, but we've got to play it at a higher level." Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti visits Purdue football Purdue became the latest stop on Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti 's tour of league camps within driving distance on Tuesday. The second-year commissioner also addressed the team following the conclusion of the Boilermakers' 16th practice. Petitti makes such visits frequently, usually at least once during the season and once in the spring. No word on whether Petitti was trying to drum up support for his supposed proposal for a drastic playoff expansion, which was leaked last week. It called for seven automatic bids for the Big Ten and SEC. That might be good news for programs such as Purdue who do not typically push into the top of the standings, but the proposal received at-best lukewarm response across the country. Purdue football news Franklin Central grad Hudauri Hines continues to make plays while mixing in with the No. 1 defense. It will be interesting to see how younger players like him mix in with veterans Tony Grimes and Ryan Turner when the games begin. I don't know how much the tight end group will help as receivers, but it looks like they can hit some dudes. Luca Puccinelli met blitzing nickel Andarius Coffey in the backfield with authority. T.J. Lindsey C.J. Madden, but the combination of Lindsey at 3 technique and Jamarrion Harkless at nose may give the whole unit more upside.
