War Eagle, everybody! It’s time now for the first Auburn game preview of the year! On September 1st, Auburn returns to Atlanta to take on Washington in the season opener. These are a pair of dangerous teams that were close last year, but did not win their respective leagues. Both teams had disappointing bowl games. Both teams lose some important players, but have reloaded for the future, for the most part.
Washington head coach Chris Peterson took over a moribund Huskie program in 2013, and has built magnificently. Washington recruits as well as any team in the PAC-12, and now has a roster that sends players to the NFL each year.
