Hey, folks. Slooooooooow day so far here at Auburn. All we got for interviews this morning were PK Wes Byrum, DL Zach Clayton and RB Mario Fannin. There's more scheduled for later, so hopefully some more news will come out of that.

Here's some stuff to come out of Tuesday:

• The place-kicking game continues to be a high priority this week. Head coach Tommy Tuberville said everybody but Clinton Durst made all of their attempts despite a heavy crosswind at practice. He added he probably wouldn't make a decision until game time.

• Tuberville reiterated that Byrum tries to muscle the ball more than Durst and Morgan Hull, who he said are more technique-oriented. As a result, Byrum's problem is accuracy. Durst and Hull's biggest issue is distance.

• Byrum was one of the few players who showed up for interviews, and you have to give him credit for not ducking out. It can't be easy being a kicker. It's like being a closer in baseball -- the only time anyone wants to talk to you is when you aren't doing well.

• Byrum has spoken about his recent struggles with former Auburn kicker John Vaughn, who is back in school. "It's a little tough because I know I can kick the ball, I know I can make them," Byrum said. "I mean, I know I'm a good kicker, I'm just in a spot right now where it's tough to get through."
  

• The problem? Byrum said he's putting his plant foot too far in front and not consistently in the same spot.
  
  
• Fannin, on keeping his distance from the kickers: "I think talking to him kind of adds more pressure, really. So I just try to stay away from him. He knows what he has to do."
  
  
• Tuberville, on needing two wins to get bowl eligible: "You can't worry about that. You just keep worrying about getting better. ... As I told the team on Sunday, let's get better every game we play. Let's not worry about wins and losses or who we play, whether it's on television, whether we're bowl eligible, any of that stuff. It really doesn't make any difference."
  
  
• Fannin said that it was he -- not Burns -- who went the wrong direction on the goal line handoff on Auburn's first drive at West Virginia last week.
  
  
• Cornerbacks Jerraud Powers (hamstring) and Neiko Thorpe (ankle) practiced, but Tuberville didn't offer much more of an update.
