AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Montravius Adams knows who was Auburn's defensive coordinator the last time the Tigers had a truly elite defense. It's the same guy who's running the show now.
Will Muschamp has raised expectations for the Tigers' defense by his mere presence, though having some talented players on the field doesn't hurt either.
The former Florida head coach built a top 10 defense in his last stint at Auburn from 2006-2007 and has done the same in stops at LSU and Texas.
"When he was here, they were considered one of the top defenses in the nation and one of the top in the SEC and when he was at Florida" he did the same thing with the Gators, said Adams, a 300-pound defensive lineman.
