All smiles around Auburn and greater Lee County these days.
Making his way through Auburn’s campus every day, Gabe Wright can see a difference in the faces of everyone he meets.

Beating King Saban will undoubtedly be Malzahn's greatest challenge this season. But keeping everyone focused on this lowly, poor Bulldogs squad could end up being a very close second.
