AUBURN, Ala. — Alex Kozan had big plans last year. After being named a Freshman All-American in 2013, he believed last fall was going to be even better. But while the Tigers' starting left guard was back home in Colorado after Auburn's spring practice wrapped up last year, he felt something was wrong.
His back didn't feel right.
He tried, to no avail, to rehab it. With that bid unsuccessful, he had surgery last summer, ending his 2014 campaign before it ever got started.
So what was it like living last season on the sideline?
