Let’s start talking about Jared Harper by talking about Bo Jackson.
Bo’s an Auburn deity for reasons far too numerous to list here. But one of them is that he became the on-field foundation of the program Pat Dye constructed. Before Bo arrived, Auburn had lost nine straight Iron Bowls and hadn’t won the SEC in 24 years. His first season they beat Alabama. His second season they won the SEC.
Bo had of course long since run out of eligibility by the time Dye won three more SEC titles, by the time Cadillac went so crazy Auburn didn’t lose for 15 straight games, by the time Wes Byrum split the uprights in Arizona.
