 Trojan Fun Facts

Auburn advanced to the playoffs for the 11th straight season last year and should make their 12th straight playoff appearance this year. The Trojans return many key position players this season, including Michael Bates who took over at quarterback midway through last season and James Dambacher who became a punishing running back after beginning the year at QB. Expect some Trojan trickery and plenty of hard-nosed running throughout the season with Bates and Dambacher in the backfield. Auburn will continue to air it out as well with Collin Bushnell, Cole Busch, and Eric Cerve returning in the receiving corps.
