Rich Silva of the Montgomery Advertiser makes his Observer podcast debut. He opens the show by discussing the most chaotic first week of covering Auburn sports possible and looking forward to his first full football season on the Plains.

The guys talk with Rich about his article on Doctor Bo Wallace and what it takes to be a transfer quarterback under Hugh Freeze. Rich gives his take on Payton Thorne and the quarterback battle. Dan makes a good point about Holden Geriner. The Auburn-USF upset from 2007 is referenced.

Later in the episode, Rich talks about his research findings on Aden Holloway and what could be expected from the 5-star true freshman this season. Meanwhile, Painter checks in from a new Undisclosed Location.
