AUBURN, Ala. — The stat sheet gives the nod to the veterans. Marcus Davis has more catches. Tony Stevens has more touchdown receptions. Last year's backup kicker-turned-receiver has caught five balls. Indeed, the first five receivers were on the team last season.
But the one-handed catch by Kyle Davis in last week's 51-14 win over Arkansas State suggests Auburn's talented freshman receiving class will make an impact before the season is done.
"We're still learning about them, and they're still learning about the offense. You'll see those guys with bigger roles the longer as the season goes," said coach Gus Malzahn during Wednesday's SEC teleconference.
