It’s been awhile since Auburn has had to worry about special teams. In fact, over the course of history, Auburn football has been blessed with a pretty solid group of kickers. From the days of Al Del Greco, to Win Lyle, Matt Hawkins, Damon Duval (at times), Wes Byrum, and now Daniel Carlson, the Tigers have usually had an actual weapon at placekicker.
You’d have to go back nearly a decade at Auburn to find a time when placekicking wasn’t a true moneymaker for the Tigers. In Wes Byrum’s sophomore year of 2008, he made just under 58% of his field goals.
