Jarrett Stidham Means 2017 Expectations Rise, Excuses Vanish

These last 6 months have been crazy and the craziness is finally over. Time to start my next chapter at Auburn University! WAR EAGLE! pic.twitter.com/BckaHMO6D3

With Stidham on the 2017 Auburn roster, Gus Malzahn has cemented his program a preseason top 10 national ranking.

The good news, of course, is that Malzahn has made sure Auburn will remain in the national spotlight long after the Sugar Bowl — win or lose — fades into the past.

The bad news, though, is that there will now be no excuses — none — to fall back on should next season be anything but an obvious success by nearly everyone’s standard.
