Just about one month ago, Auburn was coming off a big win over Alabama and the coaching rumors were flying. Now, Auburn is coming off a big win over clemson, Tuberville has signed a new contract, and Auburn has began a new era, the Tony Franklin era. In the game, the defense played great other than one 83 yard run by Clemson RB C.J. Spiller. Auburn racked up more yards in the game than they had in one game all year (423 yards). Auburn ended the year in style. After going into OT tied 17-17, both sides of the ball for Auburn stepped up. Auburn won the toss and elected to go on Defense first, the rest is history. The defense held them to a Field Goal. Then the offense came on the field. Brad Lester lost 3 yards on 1st down. Then, after an incomplete pass, Auburn faced 3rd and 13. Brandon Cox then completed his last pass as an Auburn Tiger for 12 yards, which set up 4th and 1. The QB sneak was called, and Cox ran it 2 yards on his last play. The next two plays were a 3 yard run by Ben Tate, and a 4 yard run by Brad Lester. Then, the final play of the game was a 7 yard run by Freshman QB Kodi Burns. If Tony Franklin can make that much of a difference in 9 practices, I can't wait to see what he can do in a whole offseason. I can't wait for the 08 season. The biggest question mark will be at QB. Tubs said last night that Burns will go into the offseason as the No. 1 QB, but recruit Chris Todd probably wouldn't have been offered a scholarship if Franklin didn't think he could compete for the starting job. I think Burns will win the job, but only time will tell. That is all for now.
HAPPY NEW YEAR and WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
