10 things to watch at A Day and 2011.

1. Barrett Trotter -  filling the void left by a Heisman winner is no easy task.  Trotter looked sharp in last year's A day.  Is he ready to be the leader?
2. Trovon Reed - the excitement about Trovon played second fiddle to Cam last year.  After a year of waiting, expectations are high for the play maker.
3. Ladarious Phillips - LP was a fan favorite before he ever walked onto campus.  Will he get a shot at RB as well as DT?  The fans are hoping so.
4. Jake Holland - will he be able to step in and run the defense.  Holland saw limited action in 9 games last year.  He was trusted enough to play in the NC game.
5. Neiko Thorpe moving - Thorpe moves from corner to safety.  He was third on the team in tackles last year.  With his size and the corner talent building the move makes sense.
6. Emory Blake - Blake is the top returning receiver. He led the team in receiving TDs last year.  Can he lead the receiving corps this year?
7. Young D-line / New coach - The young but experienced D-line will be adapting to a new position coach.  Can Coach Pelton have them ready for SEC play by week 2?
8. Offensive Change? - What should we expect from Malzahn with a pass first QB?  I'm thinking Dyer will enjoy the difference.
9. New O-line - this one's a biggie.  The success of the season could hang on the success of the O-line.  Will they be up to the challenge?
10. Replacing Byrum- Cody Parkey will be asked to replace Auburn's all time leading scorer.  I think we'll  be fine here, but will he be as clutch as Wes?

Auburn's A day will be held Saturday April 16th at 2 pm.   General Admission $5.  Buy tickets HERE.
It will be shown live on CSS.
