This the "Topp Rope," a twice-weekly SEC football column from the USA TODAY Network's Blake Toppmeyer. Bo Nix’s transfer from Auburn to Oregon presented a bittersweet opportunity for the veteran quarterback and also for the program he left after three years as its starter. Nix, the son of former Auburn quarterback Patrick Nix, signed as a ballyhooed recruit, and he persistently teased the Tigers with tantalizing athleticism and big-play prowess. But Nix kept butting against a ceiling, and he never found the consistency of an elite quarterback. Nix reunited with Kenny Dillingham, AU’s former offensive coordinator now with the Ducks, while Auburn gained the chance to move on with a new face behind center. The Tigers added two transfer quarterbacks, but T.J. Finley will start the season opener – the same Finley who couldn’t unseat Nix last season. If Nix dazzles when No. 12 Oregon plays No. 3 Georgia on Saturday (2:30 p.m. CT, ABC), Auburn will be forced to reckon with an uncomfortable reality: Nix wasn’t the chief problem during Bryan Harsin’s debut, and he probably would remain AU's top quarterback had he not transferred. In Nix’s absence, Auburn needs Harsin’s assessment of Finley to prove accurate. “People improve," Harsin said of Finley. "And that does include quarterbacks at Auburn." AUBURN FOOTBALLT.J. Finley wasn't your pick for AU starting quarterback? Think Bryan Harsin cares? TOPPMEYER:Brian Kelly sought LSU's high demands. Now, hold him to the Nick Saban standard OPINION:My vow to you -- I won't guarantee Georgia football greatness even if they whip Oregon | Toppmeyer Nix didn’t improve much under Harsin. If he flourishes at Oregon, Harsin will be left holding a mirror. Nix’s challenge Saturday will be solving a stingy Georgia secondary. Nix didn’t fare well against Georgia at Auburn. He went 0-3 against the Deep South rival. Strange as it is, some AU fans may feel more comfortable about the Tigers’ quarterback situation if Georgia intercepts Nix a few times in a rout of Oregon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Finley throwing for 350 yards against Mercer on Saturday night wouldn’t hurt, either. Week 1 quick thoughts By Sunday, more people will know the names of Georgia linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Alabama wide receiver Traeshon Holden and Arkansas linebacker Drew Sanders. Ole Miss and LSU will have quarterback controversies by Sunday. Vanderbilt will lead the SEC in victories come Sunday. FirstBank wants name on Vanderbilt’s stadium … have they seen it? College athletics directors are in the fundraising business, and Vanderbilt celebrated this week a 10-year naming rights deal to have Vanderbilt Stadium rebranded as FirstBank Stadium. Vanderbilt follows Kentucky, which in 2017 sold naming rights to turn Commonwealth Stadium into Kroger Field. Some traditionalists may bristle, but I applaud the Commodores for convincing FirstBank that Vanderbilt Stadium is a jewel worth affixing its name to. Combine this deal with Vanderbilt trouncing Hawaii, and that’s a fine start to the season. Moneymaking opportunity, Part II Not to be outdone by Vanderbilt, Missouri also unveiled a revenue-grab. No, Faurot Field has not been renamed – attention, Commerce Bank, it’s for the taking – but it will feature self-service food lockers where fans can purchase grab-and-go concessions. I only hope the food is better than a Mizzou pregame meal served in the press box, which a fellow sportswriter once described as “hardtack and gruel.” [ WANT MORE OPINIONS FROM BLAKE TOPPMEYER?: Subscribe to the SEC Unfiltered newsletter for an exclusive column each week ] Moneymaking suggestion Georgia, Oregon and Texas are among programs that didn’t release Week 1 depth charts. This secrecy sacrifices a revenue opportunity. My suggestion: Put a depth chart behind a paywall on the athletic department website. Cha-ching. Better yet, sell naming rights for the depth chart. The Georgia Depth Chart, presented by Synovus Bank. Love this Eliah Drinkwitz idea Missouri will open Thursday (7 p.m. CT, ESPNU) against Louisiana Tech, and coach Eliah Drinkwitz encouraged students to revel in the weeknight kickoff. “I say skip (Friday classes),” Drinkwitz suggested on his radio show. “It's early in the year. You can overcome an early deficit." Love the idea. Go hard in the paint Thursday night, play hooky Friday morning while nursing a hangover, and let the federal government forgive the debt incurred while skipping classes. Email of the week Note: Email heavily edited to correct various grammar errors. Tim writes: You are the one that picked Auburn to have a losing season??? Wow! I would bet my life that don’t happen. Have to give Harson some credit. He knows talent. Not his fault he inherited low-level offensive linemen that weren’t beefed up enough to handle the defensive linemen in the SEC. Bryce Young would be rated as worst QB in SEC behind that line. If Auburn will give Harsin the normal four-year chance, he will have a sustainable program and be competitive every year. Stay tuned for at least a 9-3 season at AU. My response: Is this satire? It reads like satire. Harsin cooked with Gus Malzahn’s goods and managed a season worse than Malzahn would’ve cooked up on his worst day. Enjoy 6-6. Please email me your coaching candidates on Halloween. They’ll be needed. Boozing in Arkansas While Georgia-Oregon gets top billing, the more competitive top-25 clash will unfold in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where the No. 23 Razorbacks will begin a quest to live up to my dark-horse assertions against No. 22 Cincinnati. Head Hog Sam Pittman believes in setting the tone in the first quarter. "I think the first couple series are gonna be really important, to figure out what you're bringing to the party. Some guys bring sweet tea, and some guys bring liquor,” Pittman quipped. Pittman's drink of choice? “I like ice tea with a little bit of sugar in it, and I like brown water, too," Pittman said.

Garland imposes new restrictions on political appointees at Justice Department Zoë Richards and Ryan J. Reilly and Ken Dilanian 4-5 minutes Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday tightened restrictions on high-level employees at the Justice Department by prohibiting them from engaging in "partisan political activities." The policy change, announced in a memo a little more than two months before the midterm elections, reverses a long-standing department policy that allowed political appointees, also known as non-career employees, to attend fundraisers and campaign events as passive bystanders. The new rules come on the heels of accusations of political bias from congressional Republicans and Trump supporters after the FBI searched former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate on Aug. 8. “As Department employees, we have been entrusted with the authority and responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States in a neutral and impartial manner,” Garland wrote. “In fulfilling this responsibility, we must do all we can to maintain public trust and ensure that politics — both in fact and appearance — does not compromise or affect the integrity of our work.” Garland’s directive followed memos from the acting assistant attorney general for administration, Jolene Lauria, reminding political appointees of existing policies about restrictions stemming from the Hatch Act, which is aimed at establishing a politically neutral workplace for government workers. The 1939 law prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities while on duty, in federal facilities or using federal property. The Justice Department's previous policy allowed appointees to passively attend political events if they had obtained approval from supervisors. Related video: Trump sent apparent threat to Attorney General Garland after search Captions will look like this Caption Languages English Busted and panicking: Trump sent apparent threat to Attorney General after search Legal heat on Donald Trump intensifying as The New York Times reports on an unusual backchannel message Trump sent to Attorney General Garland, saying "the country is on fire" and adding he wants to help "reduce the heat." It comes amid an “unprecedented” rise in threats to the FBI after Trump's Mar-A-Lago home was legally searched. Former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa says it's wrong for a search subject to send that kind of message, adding: “It was very improper… an act of desperation,” and it “sounded like a veiled quid-pro-quo.” Under the new policy, Garland said, non-career appointees "may not participate in any partisan political event in any capacity." The restriction also extends to presidential election years, removing an exception for appointees whose close family members are running for partisan offices. Appointees are now prohibited from attending political campaign events, even on Election Day. “I know you agree it is critical that we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards to avoid even the appearance of political influence as we carry out the Department’s mission,” Garland wrote. “It is in that spirit that I have added these new restrictions on political activities by non-career employees.” The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have warned of a spike in threats to federal law enforcement officials since the Mar-a-Lago search and subsequent GOP claims that the Biden administration weaponized the Justice Department against Trump. In a separate memo to Justice Department employees Tuesday, Garland highlighted Justice Department rules about communications with Congress. “Like the policies regarding communications with the White House, these policies ‘are designed to protect our criminal and civil law enforcement decisions, and our legal judgments, from partisan or other inappropriate influences, whether real or perceived, direct or indirect,’” Garland wrote.

How Auburn revamped its defensive line Published: Aug. 31, 2022, 10:28 a.m. 4-5 minutes By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com Auburn’s defensive line might be the deepest unit on the team despite losing seven players from last season to either transfer portal or graduation. Defensive line coach and former Tiger great Jimmy Brumbaugh coaches a group that wants to cause chaos for quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference. Colby Wooden leads the group at defensive end. The 6′4 285-pound senior had 61 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, seven quarterback hurries, and five sacks last season. He’s projected as an early-round NFL Draft pick. Head coach Bryan Harsin believes Wooden deserves more accolades for what he brings to the defense. “Colby Wooden doesn’t get enough credit,” I probably need to talk more about Colby because of what he does on a day-to-day basis, he’s so consistent, and he’s getting better. He’s just one of those guys. We all expect that from him, but I don’t think we all understand how hard it is to do what he does. And when Colby is going, man, things are good. He can make a huge difference on the defensive line.” Read more Auburn football: Bryan Harsin wants Auburn to ‘stay hungry,’ focused this season after fading in Year 1 The official Auburn football depth chart to open 2022 season Can Auburn’s offensive line get the job done? Morris Joseph is a transfer player from Memphis. He’s listed as Wooden’s backup. He posted 38 tackles, with 4.5 tackles for loss for the Tigers last season. Joseph is a smaller player at 281 pounds, but his teammates don’t see it as an issue. “He’s a very experienced guy. And even though he’s not that big, he still plays big, and he’s a very good pass rusher,” defensive tackle Marcus Harris said. “Going against the run game, he’s very smart. He knows how to gather the blocks quick and go back to play. And he has a lot of hustle. He’ll chase down the play from the backside and still be running. So he kind of motivates the whole D-line. So pick up our game, chasing after the ball and little stuff like that.” Eight out of 10 players Auburn acquired in the transfer portal made the official two-deep roster. Jayson Jones is one of those eight and the only one to make the starting lineup. The Oregon transfer is a classic space-eating Nose Tackle at 6-foot-6 and 328 pounds. “Jayson is one of my favorite guys. I think he’s highly intelligent. He works very hard,” Harsin said. “He’s very coachable. I think he’s really prepared himself to go out there and play. And just from what I’ve seen, his whole process has been very good and I think that’s why he will be out there playing. Why I think he’s going to go out there and play well too. He has that mentality of preparing himself to go out there and play the way he needs to on the defensive line.” Marquis Burks is the backup Nose Tackle. Brumbaugh regularly rotates linemen, so Burks should get plenty of action in pivotal moments. Rounding out the defensive line was a contested position battle at defensive tackle between Harris and transfer Jeffery M’Ba. Harris got the starting nod. He had 27 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks last season for Auburn after transferring from Kansas. M’Ba came to Auburn as a highly-touted junior college transfer after playing two seasons at Independence College. Both will see lots of opportunities to rush quarterbacks and help the Tigers stop the running attack of opposing defenses. Harsin seems confident with the depth and flexibility of his defensive line. “You’ve got to have that two deep on the d-line, so they’re all going to play. They’re going to rotate in,” Harsin said. “I don’t know exactly what the rotation is, but all those guys will be out there playing, and from what I’ve seen, and I think what Jimmy’s done with that group, we’ve got a good group on the d-line, and I feel like those guys are just excited to get out there and go play and do a great job up front, help the linebackers out behind them.” Auburn begins the season on Saturday with a 6 pm CT kick against Mercer on ESPN+.

Bryan Harsin wants Auburn to 'stay hungry,' set a standard in Year 2 Published: Aug. 31, 2022, 7:07 a.m. 6-7 minutes Bryan Harsin learned a hard lesson about his team in Year 1. He hopes to carry that knowledge into his second season — and avoid a repeat of 2021. Everyone knows how Harsin’s first season on the Plains unfolded by now. Auburn got out to a 6-2 start to the season, climbing to No. 12 in the AP poll at the end of October following a home win against Ole Miss — the second of back-to-back wins against ranked opponents. Things seemed to be going well for the Tigers in Year 1, and then the calendar flipped to November, and the season spun out of control. Read more Auburn football: What Nick Brahms’ retirement means for Auburn at center this season Auburn depth chart observations, surprises and notes The reintroduction of T.J. Finley, Auburn’s new QB1 Auburn opened November with a road loss at Texas A&M and then blew a 25-point lead at home the following week against Mississippi State, surrendering 40 unanswered points to the Bulldogs. Along with losing the game, Auburn also lost starting quarterback Bo Nix and kicker Anders Carlson to season-ending injuries. The Tigers ultimately lost five straight games to close the season, finishing 6-7 overall and with their first losing record since 2012. “For us, it really is and has to be a 1-0 mentality,” Harsin said. “I learned that about this team last year. We’re 6-2, we’re ranked, and things are really, really good. One of the things we have to be careful of it when things get really, really good. I think you can lose your focus, you can lose your competitiveness, and that’s not what we need to happen with this football team. “We need to stay hungry, no matter who we’re playing, and I think the best teams in the country do that. There’s a standard; it doesn’t matter who you play.” The 1-0 mentality is nothing new; that was the motto Harsin brought with him when he took over the program in December 2020. But after how last season ended, following a promising start to his tenure as head coach, he knew he needed to find a way to reinforce that mantra and make sure his team understands how to maintain its composure in the face of adversity and doesn’t get complacent when things are going well. “There’s a game within the game, and there’s a standard of how you play,” Harsin said. “When you watch championship teams, they might be up by 40 points, but they’re upset about missing a gap, and we can’t just be up by 40 points and patting ourselves on the back and feeling like we’ve arrived, when we still have a standard of how we need to play. So, that’s what we’re trying to get done here is build that mindset into this football team that no matter who we play, we have a standard of how we play.” That standard, in Harsin’s mind, is that of a “hardnosed,” competitive and prepared team. He believes he saw that during last season’s Iron Bowl, when Auburn went toe-to-toe with the one of the nation’s top teams—the eventual national runner-up—for 60 minutes and four overtime periods. Auburn held Alabama without a touchdown until the final minute of regulation, and although the Tigers went on to lose in quadruple-overtime, it was largely an effort that the team felt good about, even nine months later. It was the execution part that needed to improve. “That game really showed us a lot, just from the standpoint of the kind of defense that Auburn is capable of playing,” senior team captain Derick Hall said at SEC Media Days. “That’s the blue-collar Auburn defense that everyone knows and everyone is used to. So, just trying to sustain that and build off that, learning things that we need to learn and take away from that game going into this year was the biggest thing. “And I think guys, once that happened, we might have lost the game, but once we played that kind of caliber defense — that was the standard. And no one is backing down from that. So, we’re either going to keep rising or we’re going to hold that standard.” Of course, Auburn needs to establish that standard on both sides of the ball. The Tigers hope they can do so on offense behind Harsin, new offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau, newly named starting quarterback T.J. Finley, whose command of the offense helped him earn the starting role this preseason, and a run game led by preseason All-SEC selection Tank Bigsby. Auburn will have its first opportunity to set that standard Saturday, when it opens the season at home against FCS opponent Mercer. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and the Tigers enter as a 31.5-point favorite. Despite being heavily favored against an opponent that, on paper, shouldn’t present too much trouble for Auburn, Harsin is making sure his players don’t overlook Mercer. It’s not so much about being on upset watch; it’s about making sure the Tigers approach Week 1 with the same mindset that Harsin expects of his team every week, regardless of who the opponent is. “For Mercer, this will be the biggest game of the year; they want to come in here, they want to play well, and they want to show everybody they can beat an SEC team,” Harsin said. “If we’re thinking about (getting) our second string in the game in the third quarter, and our players are out there spitting seeds at halftime and all that because we’re just going to blow through these guys, that’s not the mindset I want to create on this team whatsoever. What I hope we have is a bunch of guys out there and they don’t call off the dogs; the coaches can do that. “You’re job as a player is to play for 3 hours and 24 minutes as hard as you can. If you get pulled out of the game, that’s because the coaches chose to do that, so it’s very — I got to be very careful about playing the hype game with what everybody thinks but then also being realistic of coaching a football team of players who need to go out there and play their best football each and every time.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

many think we will struggle bad this year so i have a solution to make the games fun JUST IN CASE. lets forget the white outs and the orange outs. what we need is the "MOON" out. put the kids to bed early and make it an adult evening. then during the games we are afraid we are gonna get killed in we have fun with it. every single time the other team scores all the auburn fans turn around as one and moon the opposing team. it would be epic.what say you folks?

that is the very reason no ones like you man.....................lol

done!

i got a hundred bucks says you are wrong and tomorrow is payday. wanna bet? we can used bird to be the middle man to pay the winner if he agrees and it does not get him in trouble.

i predict pain,misery,and suffering...........the mercy bears will get no honey after the game.

boy you live dangerously...........rolls eyes lol

you must not have many bama friends or work around them because they jump on every little thing.

maybe one day we will know the truth. but my point is we are AUBURN and people mostly believe a lot of the negative crap that pops out and it bothers me. hell i am still mad about cam. only a fool would take money right after they got busted with another uni trying to buy cam. to me that is common sense but i do not think cam or his dad took anything but people still think he did and will continue to do so. prove something or shut the hell up ya know ?

do you ever hear the big boys look at nick and kirby and say we are doing it wrong and seriously looking to change the way we do thing?

i know it sounds dumb to most people but auburn is truly my heart. i hate the mudslinging and crap going on. if it hurts auburn it hurts me. i lived with some horrible crap growing up and auburn was the one place i knew i was loved and safe. so it has always been more than a team or a game. i think racism is on the rise as is overall anger. i wish we could take this to the pols board as i am surprised this has not been shutdown. i will say click bait is hurting things and making them worse.

my thoughts are if greene is getting the shaft on all this do not be surprised if he decides to take his reputation to court to protect it. if someone smeared me trying to ruin my rep and i had the money i would look at it long and hard.

i will always think greene was doing his job as he was asked to. and i would need proof beyond doubt if he was not. i think he wanted to better himself getting a better job and got smeared for it. i think reporters are to blame as well. if there is no news there is click bait and i see it getting worse every single day. in the meantime greene is getting smeared and he might have to take a lesser job because of it.

theory is the same in that greene had a boss and has to make him happy at the end of the day or lose his job right?

they got a great receiver but i believe he was shut down in the second half and they fumbled three times so i think the game should be a wash. also i doubt we overlook them at all.

so they have their own top 25? i know small teams crack out top 25 at times is why i am confused.

i just want to know the answer to this. if greene was asked to trim the budget why does everyone seem to get mad at him { auburn coaches } and not who ordered greene was instructed to do this?there was also covid messing things up.i believe there is either a lot more to this story than is being said. but info is all over the place and that is what i hate about auburn. greene hired bruce. oh wait that is not true. greene saved bruces job. well that might not be true. so bruce went out and told his bosses boss he was displeased because green saved his job? that makes no sense. i think the truth is greene is a good guy that wants to move up the ladder and there is not one thing wrong with that. also the fact he has put in for several AD jobs at other schools and no one is interested also sounds like something that might have been made up. Greene had tons of accolades from some very creditable before he got here and all of a sudden he is not what we are told? i do not believe that at the moment.
