Auburn Tigers

Tommy Tuberville's 11-2 team from a year ago has a lot to build on from last years team. Returning is Senior quarterback Brandon Cox. Cox threw for 2,200 yards last season with 14 touchdowns. His targets at receiver are limited with the return of former walk on Rod Smith. Smith brought in 450 yards and 4 touchdowns. The offensive line returns only one starter in massive tackle King Dunlap. He will pave the way for junior Brad Lester(510 yards) and sophomore Ben Tate(400 yards), along with others. Lester has the lead but has not spread apart form the others far enough. Senior fullback Carl Stewart is a versatile runner, blocker, and receiver.

On the defensive side senior end Quentin Groves leads an impressive group of returning players. An All SEC caliber, Groves will become an even bigger playmaker during his last year in Auburn. He is gonna be moving around from rushing end to outside backer. Also returning from the front is nose man Josh Thompson and sophomore end Sen'Derrick Marks. The linebacking corps return with junior Merrill Johnson filling in the middle. Impact sophomore Tray Blackmon may also return after serving 2 suspensions a year ago. Blackmon is an amazing talent and incredible play maker for this defense. The backfield returns 3 of 4 starters from last year. Safeties Aairon Savage and Eric Brock return to terrorize offenses in the conference.

The Tiger's schedule sends them to 2 of the more fearful stadiums in the nation. Tuberville leads his team into The Swamp to face Florida and to Death Valley to face LSU. The annul Iron Bowl against Alabama will be fought with in the friendly atmosphere of Tiger Stadium to end the regular season.
