AUBURN -- Since catching zero passes in the opener, Rivaldo Fairweather has caught 16 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown in the next five games. He's been one of the most consistent weapons offensively for an Auburn team struggling mightily to move the football and score points. I asked Fairweather, thinking back to fall camp, if he's surprised by the struggles on offense. "A little bit," he said. "We really showed we could throw the ball in practice and really executed. When we get to the game, stuff just doesn't go the right way sometimes. We're going to be fine. I know that we're going to explosive in this next game." I followed up with Fairweather, asking him what gives him that confidence? "Trusting the coaches, trusting our teammates, trusting the plan they have for us," he said. "I've seen it, we started it yesterday, so there's some good plays in there we can be explosive with. It's trusting the quarterbacks and them trusting us, and I know they do. We have to go execute."
