Gene Chizik was in the midst of his first season as head coach on the Plains, we had barely ever heard of Cam Newton, and we were all pretty pleased with the resurgent offense led by Chris Todd.
Auburn opened the year 5-0, capping that streak with a win over Lane Kiffin on Rocky Top, before suffering three straight losses to Arkansas, Kentucky, and LSU.
