AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn has a top-10 defense through the first five games, and the rest of the country is beginning to take notice. On Friday, linebacker Jeff Holland and cornerback Carlton Davis were both added to the Bednarik Award watch list.
Holland, who took over for Carl Lawson at the Buck position, has emerged as the team’s top pass rusher. The junior leads Auburn with 5.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and 10 quarterback hurries.
