On The Plains of Auburn, Al., opinions vary concerning the level of success attained by the 2016 football team.
The Tigers’ final record of 8-5 is not indicative of the talent possessed on both sides of the ball. Amid Auburn’s six-game winning streak, the defense was dominant, Sean White was the most efficient passer in the SEC and Kamryn Pettway was an unstoppable force on the ground.
The injury bug severely plagued Auburn late, right as the team had climbed into the Top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings. Most skill position players were injured at some point, along with a general loss of depth along the defensive front, linebacking corps and secondary.
