Auburn Tigers running back Michael Dyer: is he transferring to the Arkansas St. Red Wolves to play for former offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, or is he not? Multiple ASU players have publicly welcomed him, but the news out of Jonesboro is that the move hasn't happened, and Auburn coach Gene Chizik says nothing's changed at the moment.

@BryanDFischer Chizik: "Michael Dyer's status at Auburn has not changed." Several Arkansas State players tweeted he was transferring there.

Yet feels like the word lingering in the air at the end of that quote. Unless a rumor spread throughout Arkansas State's campus that was so convincing it got players sure enough to tweet about it -- who could imagine college students tweeting ill-advisedly? -- there's a lot of smoke here.

Still, it could all be just one big rumor fueled by Auburn's general air of attrition.
