CARDIAC KIDS Auburn has won six games this season by single digits, including four games that were decided by just three points or less. The last time Auburn won three games by three of fewer points in the same season was 1960, when the Tigers wons three games by three points and one by two points en route to an 8-2 season. COMEBACK KIDS Auburn has trailed in eight of its 12 victories this season and overcame double-digit deficits to beat Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. The Tigers trailed Clemson 17-0 in the second quarter Sept. 18 before winning 27-24 in overtime, trailed the Gamecocks 20-7 in the second period Sept. 25 before rallying for a 35-27 victory, and trailed Georgia 21-7 into the second quarter on Nov. 13 before coming back to win 49-31. Auburn staged its greatest comeback in the regular season finale against Alabama, rallying from a 24-0 second quarter deficit to win 28-27. It marked the largest deficit overcome in a victory in school history. This season marks the first time that Auburn has had four wins in the same season while overcoming double digit deficits. There were only two prior known occurrences when Auburn rallied from double digit deficits twice in one season. In 1997, Auburn overcame 11point deficits to beat both Alabama in the Iron Bowl and Clemson in the Peach Bowl. In 1972, Auburn trailed Georgia Tech by 14 and Alabama by 16 in the Punt Bama Punt game before winning both contests. The victory over Clemson had marked the first time that Auburn overcame a deficit of at least 17 points to win since Sept. 28, 2002, when the Tigers trailed Syracuse 17-0 at Jordan-Hare Stadium before coming back to win 37-34 in three overtimes. It was just Auburn’s fourth 17point deficit overcome in a victory since 1970. Year 2010 2010 2010 2010 1997 1997 1972 1972

NO QUIT UNDER CHIZIK Under Gene Chizik, Auburn is 5-2 when trailing by 10 or more points in a game, with wins this season against Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama and a victory over West Virginia last year. Prior to Chizik's arrival, Auburn was 4-44 during a 14-year span from 1995-2008 when trailing by 10 or more points. PILING UP THE TOUCHDOWNS Junior quarterback Cam Newton has accounted for 43 touchdowns this season, which is second most in the nation. He has thrown for 24, rushed for 18 and caught one. Of the 119 other Football Bowl Subdivision schools, 69 of them (58.0 percent) have not scored 43 touchdowns this season as a team. Newton’s 43 TDs scored and passed for is the best in a single season in school history, smashing the old school record of 26 held by Pat Sullivan (1970). It also ranks tied for second best in SEC history. He broke both the Auburn single-season rushing touchdown record and the school single-season passing touchdown record in the same game against Alabama Nov. 26. MAKING HISTORY On Nov. 13 against Georgia, Cam Newton became the first player in SEC history to throw for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season. His achievement had previously been accomplished by just seven quarterbacks in NCAA history entering this season, including just three from BCS conference schools. Michigan’s Denard Robinson also joined the club on Nov. 20. Of the eight other quarterbacks to reach the milestone, only Robinson and UAB’s Joe Webb last season rushed for more yards than Newton has this season. The list of quarterbacks who have achieved the 2,000/1,000 milestone follows: QB Cam Newton Denard Robinson Colin Kaepernick Dwight Dasher Colin Kaepernick Joe Webb Colin Kaepernick Joe Webb Dan LeFevour Brad Smith Vince Young Brad Smith Woodrow Dantzler

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes SCOOTIN’ NEWTON Cam Newton leads the SEC and ranks 11th nationally (second among quarterbacks) in rushing, averaging 111.3 yards per game, and is third in the nation with 18 rushing touchdowns. He is the only player in the country with five games of 170+ rushing yards this season. Newton’s numbers are even better in SEC games, as he averages 135.5 yards per game and has 15 rushing touchdowns - both league bests. He averages more yards rushing in SEC games than five other entire SEC teams. Newton is the first player in school history to rush for three or more touchdowns in three consecutive SEC games, and the second player in school history to rush for three or more touchdowns in backto-back games, joining Joe Cribbs (1979). It took Newton just eight games to break the SEC’s single-season rushing record by a quarterback of 1,006 yards, and he now has 1,336 yards. With two games left, Newton ranks fifth on Auburn’s single-season rushing chart, and needs just 55 more yards to jump into third. Newton, who has 153 more yards rushing than anyone else in the SEC, also has a chance to become the first quarterback to lead the SEC in rushing since Auburn’s Jimmy Sidle in 1963. FIVE OF THE TOP 51 (FORMERLY 50) Cam Newton has only played 12 games at Auburn, but amazingly, he already owns five of the top 51 rushing performances in the history of a school known for its long line of stellar running backs. He had five of the top 50 until Michael Dyer rushed for 180 yards at Ole Miss, bumping Newton’s fifth-best effort down one spot. In his Auburn debut, Newton posted the second-highest rushing total ever for an Auburn quarterback, gaining 171 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas State. He topped that against South Carolina, going for 176 yards and three scores, then went for 198 yards and four TDs at Kentucky, tying the school single-game record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. He added 188 yards and three TDs against Arkansas before shredding LSU for a careerhigh 217 yards and two more scores. Newton is the only player in school history to rush for 170 or more yards in four consecutive Southeastern Conference games, and no one else had done it more than twice in a row. Newton is also only the second player in school history to rush for 170 or more yards five times in a single season, joining Bo Jackson who accomplished the feat in 1985. DOMINATING VS. THE SEC Cam Newton has excelled all season, but has stepped up his game in SEC games. In eight conference games (four against ranked opponents), he has rushed for 1,084 yards (135.5 ypg) and 15 TDs, including 603 yards during a three-game span (Kentucky, Arkansas, LSU). The last time
an Auburn player rushed for 600 total yards over three consecutive games was in 1985, when Bo Jackson tallied 658 yards against Ole Miss (240), Florida State (176) and Georgia Tech (242). Newton's 603 yards are the most rushing yards ever by an Auburn player over a three-game span in SEC action. The previous best was Jackson's 570 rushing yards in 1983 against Florida (196), Georgia (118), and Alabama (256). Newton has also completed 68.7 percent of his throws during those eight games, completing 103-of-150 throws for 1,303 yards and 12 touchdowns with just three interceptions. MORE THAN JUST A RUNNER Cam Newton has not only excelled with his feet, but also throwing the ball. Newton ranks second nationally in passing efficiency (185.57) and became the first quarterback in school history to throw at least two touchdown passes in each of the first five games of a season. No other Auburn quarterback had done that in as many as the first three games. He has also thrown at least two TD passes in each of his last four contests, and has set a new Auburn single-season record with 24 touchdown passes. Newton has accounted for five TDs in a game three times this season (vs. Arkansas State, South Carolina and Chattanooga) and was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week after the first two games, two of five such awards he has earned this year. In addition to his rushing and passing efficiency numbers, he leads the SEC and ranks 11th nationally in total offense (299.2), ranks fifth in the SEC in all-purpose yards (114.8), has caught two passes for 42 yards and a touchdown and even punted once for 22 yards. OFFENSE KEEPS ROLLING Auburn’s offense continues to shine under second-year offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, as the Tigers rank sixth nationally in rushing offense (291.3), seventh in scoring offense (41.6) and eighth in total offense (490.1). Auburn is on pace to break the school single-season records for scoring per game (38.5 - 1995) and total offense per game (485.0 - 1970) and currently has the second-best rushing yards per game average in school history (312.5 1985). Auburn has already set new school records for points scored in a season (499) and total offense in a season (5,881). Auburn has scored at least 50 points in five different games this season, which is the most in one season in school history. The Tigers missed adding a sixth occurrence by one point, scoring 49 vs. Georgia. In 25 games under Malzahn, Auburn has totaled at least 500 yards of offense 10 times, including six this season. Prior to Malzahn’s arrival, Auburn hadn’t had a single 500-yard game since the 2005 Georgia game - a streak of 40 games.

DOMINANT GROUND GAME Auburn’s running game has been dominant this season, as the Tigers easily lead the SEC with their average of 291.3 yards per game - 75.5 yards per game more than second-place Mississippi State. Auburn has three of the top 12 rushers in the SEC, led by junior quarterback Cam Newton, who averages a league-best 111.3 yards per game on the ground. Freshman Michael Dyer is ninth in the SEC averaging 73.8 yards per game, while sophomore Onterio McCalebb (61.1 ypg) is 12th. The Tigers have been so good on the ground that even if you take away Cam Newton’s 1,336 rushing yards, Auburn would still have 2,159 yards rushing, and its average of 179.9 yards per game would still rank third in the SEC and 32nd nationally. Auburn is averaging 6.2 yards per carry, which would be the second-best average over the course of a season in SEC history, trailing only LSU’s average of 6.8 in 1945. The Tigers have a chance to become the first SEC team since the 1985 Auburn squad to average more than 300 yards rushing per game in a season. The 2007 Arkansas squad came closest in the last 25 years, averaging 286.5 yards per game. Auburn has rushed for at least 300 yards eight times this season, and 10 times in the past two years. Prior to Gus Malzahn’s arrival, Auburn had just four 300-yard rushing games in the previous six seasons combined (76 games). FEASTING ON SEC DEFENSES Auburn has put up amazing rushing numbers against the tough defenses of the SEC. The Tigers are averaging a whopping 296.4 yards per game on the ground against SEC opponents, which leads the league by 111.2 yards per game over runner-up Mississippi State (185.2). Auburn has outrushed Mississippi State by 889 yards in eight conference games, and has more than doubled the rushing output in SEC games of eight teams. Auburn rushed for 440 yards against an LSU defense that ranked sixth nationally in rushing defense (83.6), marking the most yards rushing by Auburn against an SEC opponent in school history. The Tigers had 334 yards on the ground against a South Carolina defense that currently ranks fifth nationally against the run. Auburn had 315 yards on the ground against a Georgia defense that entered the game ranked 13th nationally against the rush. The Tigers put up more than 300 yards rushing against six straight SEC opponents, as Auburn also had 311 yards at Kentucky, 330 yards against Arkansas and 343 against Ole Miss. Auburn had never before rushed for at least 300 yards in even three straight SEC games, let alone six.
BY GROUND OR THROUGH THE AIR Auburn has proven to be one of the most successful teams in the nation both rushing and passing, as the Tigers rank second in the nation in average yards per pass attempt (10.28) and third in average yards per rush attempt (6.24). No other school ranks in the top five in both categories. Overall, Auburn ranks third nationally in yards per play, averaging 7.43. THIRD DOWN SUCCESS Auburn’s offensive success this season is due in part to the Tigers’ ability to convert on third downs. Auburn is currently ranked ninth nationally in third-down conversions at 51.1 percent. Auburn has converted on at least half of its third-down attempts in eight of its 12 games, including seven of the last nine. In its last four games, Auburn has converted a whopping 58.3 percent of its third-down conversion attempts (28-of-48). IN THE RED ZONE The stats may not show it, but Auburn has been one of the most successful teams in the nation inside the red zone. The Tigers are currently ranked 25th nationally in red zone, converting 50-of-57 opportunities (87.7 percent). However, four of Auburn’s seven missed opportunities were instances in which the Tigers took a knee inside the opponents’ red zone to run out the clock at the end of a game. Therefore, when trying to score in the red zone, the Tigers are 50of-53, and the resulting percentage of 94.3 percent would rank third nationally. BIG PLAYS The Tigers have run 29 plays already this season that covered at least 35 yards, including 20 that resulted in touchdowns. Seven of the plays, all touchdowns, covered at least 68 yards. Last season, Auburn had 22 plays of at least 35 yards. In 2008, before Gus Malzahn’s arrival, the Tigers had just nine plays that covered 35 or more yards all season. DYER SETS FRESHMAN RUSHING RECORD True freshman Michael Dyer has established a new Auburn record for yards rushing by a freshman this season, rushing for 886 yards this season to break Bo Jackson’s record of 829 set in 1982. His average of 73.8 yards per game ranks sixth nationally among freshmen. Dyer had his third 100-yard rushing performance of the season and second in a row by rushing for a career-high 180 yards at Ole Miss Oct. 30. His rushing total was the third best ever by an Auburn freshman and most ever by an AU freshman against an SEC opponent.

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes McCALEBB ON RECORD PACE Sophomore Onterio McCalebb is 12th in the SEC in rushing, averaging 61.1 yards per game, but he has done it while averaging just 7.2 rushes per game. McCalebb is averaging a whopping 8.52 yards per carry, which the second-best best average of anyone ranked in the top 100 in the nation in rushing, more than a full yards per carry ahead of the third-ranked rusher. The Auburn single-season record with a minimum of 80 carries is 8.44 yards per carry by Tommy Lorino in 1956. McCalebb also had at least one rushing touchdown in five straight games prior to the Alabama game, including three straight games in which he had a TD run of at least 49 yards. PASSING FANCY Auburn currently ranks second in the nation in passing efficiency with a rating of 183.98, thanks largely to two key factors. First, the Tigers are the only team in the country to average a touchdown pass on more than 10 percent of their attempts (10.78). Second, the Tigers are second in the nation with an average of 10.28 yards per pass attempt, just a fraction behind Boise State at 10.29. Individually, Cam Newton leads the SEC and ranks second in the country with a rating of 183.58, thanks largely to his nation-leading touchdown percentage of 11.01 (second is Kellen Moore of Boise State at 9.65) and his average of 10.34 yards per pass attempt, which is second in the country. EXPERIENCED O-LINE PAVES THE WAY Auburn has one of the most experienced if not one of the best offensive lines in the country, with four starters returning who have combined to make 157 career starts. Senior AllAmerican candidate Lee Ziemba has started all 50 games at tackle since arriving as a true freshman, while center Ryan Pugh, a Rimington Trophy candidate, has made 44 starts since his true freshman season. Guards Mike Berry (33 starts) and Byron Isom (30 starts) round out the experienced group. Auburn’s offensive line was ranked as the fifth-best OL unit in the country by Phil Steele and Lindy’s in their preseason publications. SECOND HALF DEFENSE Auburn’s defense has stepped up in the second half of games this season. The Tigers have surrendered just 114 points in the second half and overtime this year (9.5 ppg), including just 45 in the fourth quarter and overtime, after giving up 187 in the first half. Auburn opponents have converted on 48.8 percent (41-of-84) of third down plays in the first half, but just 23.6 percent (17-of-72) after intermission. Auburn forced turnovers on all four of South Carolina’s
fourth-quarter possessions Sept. 25 and three straight fourth-quarter drives by Arkansas Oct. 16. Against Alabama Nov. 26, Auburn held the Tide to just 67 yards and 0-of-8 on third downs in the second half. FAIRLEY DOMINANT Nick Fairley has emerged as a force at defensive tackle for Auburn, leading the SEC in tackles for loss with 20.0, which is tied for fifth most in the nation, and ranking second in the league in sacks with 9.5. He has had at least four games with at least 2.5 tackles for loss this season. Fairley was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance at Mississippi State, where he totaled five tackles including 2.5 for losses and 1.5 sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and three quarterback hurries. He has been named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week three times since, making him the first Auburn defensive player ever to earn four weekly SEC awards in one season. Fairley’s 20.0 tackles for loss are the most by an Auburn player since tackles for loss began being charted in 1981. (Note: Prior to 2000, sacks and tackles for loss were kept as separate statistics. For purposes of this list, the two stats were combined as they have been since 2000): Rank 1.

STOPPING THE RUN Auburn’s defense has shown drastic improvement against the run this season. After allowing 161.7 through the first 12 games last season, Auburn ranks second in the SEC and 10th nationally this season, allowing just 108.0 yards rushing per game this year. One key has been limiting big plays, as the Tigers have allowed only one running plays of more than 30 yards all season. Auburn had held nine of its 11 oppponets to 117 or fewer yards rushing, including five under 100. BEHIND ENEMY LINES Auburn’s defense has been able to get into the opposition’s backfield at will, as the Tigers are tied for 23rd nationally in tackles for loss, averaging 6.83 per game. Individually, Nick Fairley leads the league with 20.0 tackles for loss including 9.5 sacks, while Antoine Carter has 10.0 tackles for loss and Zach Clayton has 7.0. Twenty different players have recorded tackles for losses this season for Auburn, including 13 players with at least two.
SEC SUCCESS Since the 2004 season, Auburn has won 39 of its 56 Southeastern Conference games and 40 of its 57 games against SEC schools, including the 2004 SEC Championship game victory over Tennessee. Auburn’s success against conference schools dates back beyond 2004, however, as since the start of the 2000 season, the Tigers have the third best record among the 12 league schools in regular season conference games, just one game behind LSU for second. The following are the combined conference records of the 12 SEC schools from 2000-10.

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes BYNES LEADS LINEBACKERS Senior Josh Bynes led Auburn in tackles last season with 104, and is leading again this season with 68 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss. He has also recorded three interceptions, giving him seven for his career, four pass breakups and eight quarterback hurries. Bynes has started the last 33 consecutive games at linebacker for the Tigers. BYRUM BREAKING RECORDS Senior Wes Byrum became Auburn’s alltime leading scorer Ot. 23 against LSU, and now has 347 career points, which ranks sixth in SEC history. Byrum, who set a school single-season record for points by a kicker last season with 99, broke the record again with 107 points already this season while passing John Vaughn (200306) for the top spot on Auburn’s career points scored list. Byrum had a field goal attempt blocked in the fourth quarter at Mississippi State, snapping a streak of nine consecutive made field goal attempts dating back to last season, and had another streak of eight straight snapped against LSU. He has made 30 of his last 35 field goal attempts after hitting just 11-of-19 in 2008. He scored 17 points on three field goals and eight PATs vs. Arkansas Oct. 16, which was the most points by an Auburn kicker since Jaret Holmes had 17 against UAB in 1996. SPECIAL TEAMS IMPROVEMENTS In addition to Wes Byrum, a number of other players are excelling on special teams. Senior Demond Washington ranks sixth in the SEC averaging 25.2 yards per kickoff return, and has set an Auburn single-season record for kickoff return yardage with 983, including a 95yard TD at Ole Miss. He had 176 kickoff return yards at Ole Miss, which is third most in a game in school history and most in the SEC this season. Also, sophomore Onterio McCalebb returned a kickoff 99 yards against Arkansas, and freshman Demetruce McNeal has a teamhigh 14 tackles on special teams. In addition, senior Mike Blanc blocked a PAT against Arkansas State and freshman Antonio Goodwin blocked a punt against Arkansas. THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT Of Auburn’s 77 scoring drives in regulation this season, 31 have taken less than two minutes off the clock, while 14 have taken more than four minutes. Twenty-five used just four plays or fewer, while 21 others have used nine plays or more. Auburn has had four scoring drives of 90 yards or more this season. Auburn held the ball for the final 7:22 of the game against Kentucky, driving 86 yards on 19 plays before Wes Byrum kicked a game-winning 24-yard field goal as time expired. The 19play drive tied for the second longest in school history, just missing the school record of 20 plays set at West Virginia in 2008.
CHIZIK ERA IN SECOND YEAR Head coach Gene Chizik is in his second year at the helm of the Auburn program, after recording the second-most wins by a first-year coach in Auburn history last season. He also became the first Auburn head coach to take his team to a bowl game in his initial season, leading the Tigers to a 38-35 overtime victory over Northwestern in the Outback Bowl. Chizik also became just the third coach in Auburn history to win his first five games as head coach, and became just the third SEC coach since the league expanded in 1992 to start 5-0. STAFF REMAINS INTACT Auburn achieved a rare feat by keeping its entire coaching staff from last season, making Auburn the only school in the SEC to return its head coach and every full-time assistant coach. The last time Auburn returned its entire coaching staff was when the 2006 staff returned intact in 2007. STARTS STREAKS Senior Lee Ziemba has set new school records for most starts and most consecutive starts, having started all 50 games over the past four seasons since arriving at Auburn as a true freshman in 2007. He broke Will Herring’s school records of 49 career starts and consecutive starts. One other senior has a streak that dates back to his freshman season, as Ryan Pugh has made 40 straight starts. Senior Josh Bynes is next with 33 consecutive starts and senior Mike Berry has made 30 straight starts. IRON MEN Of Auburn’s 24 seniors, 13 have seen time in at least 35 games during their careers, including 12 who have played in more than 40 games. Mario Fannin leads the group with 52 games played, including three in 2006 before redshirting and 49 games over the past four seasons, while Michael Goggans and Lee Ziemba have played in all 50 games since 2007. Mike Blanc and Wes Byrum are next with 49 games played each, followed by Zac Etheridge and Craig Stevens (48), Ryan Pugh (45), Kodi Burns and Antoine Carter (44), Mike Berry (43), Josh Bynes (42) and Zach Clayton (39). HIGHLY TOUTED RECRUITING CLASS While Auburn’s seniors are a critical part of the team, another strong recruiting class is playing a big role in the Tigers’ success. Auburn’s 2010 recruiting class was ranked No. 4 in the nation by both ESPN.com/Scouts, Inc., and Rivals.com and sixth by Scout.com. Seven members of the recruiting class were part of the ESPNU 150.
YOUNG GUNS GET FIRST ACTION Auburn has played 16 true freshmen this season, including 12 who played in the season opener, which was tied for second behind Florida (15) for the most true freshmen played by any team in the country. The true freshmen who have played included: DL Kenneth Carter, P Steven Clark, LB Jessel Curry, DB Chris Davis, RB Michael Dyer, WR Antonio Goodwin, LB Jake Holland, WR Shaun Kitchens, DE Corey Lemonier, DB Demetruce McNeal, K Cody Parkey, WR Trovon Reed, DE Craig Sanders, DB Ryan Smith, DL Jeffrey Whitaker and DB Ryan White. TIGER GRADS Auburn began the season with 11 graduates on its roster, which is second most among all FBS schools. The Tiger graduates include: OL Mike Berry (Public Administration), DT Mike Blanc (Public Administration), DT Zach Clayton (Finance), S Zac Etheridge (Public Administration), RB Mario Fannin (Public Administration), DE Michael Goggans (Public Administration), OL Byron Isom (Public Administration), S Aairon Savage (Education/Master’s in Exercise Science), P Ryan Shoemaker (Exercise Science), LB Craig Stevens (Business Management) and WR Terrell Zachery (Public Administration). Listed are the top 10 FBS programs in the nation in terms of number of players who have completed their bachelor’s degrees prior to the start of the 2010 season. 1. 2. 3. 4.

In just two seasons at Auburn, head coach Gene Chizik has turned Auburn into a national title contender and earned a spot in the SEC Championship Game. Chizik, who is one of eight finalists for the 2010 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award, has guided Auburn to a 12-0 record, an SEC West title and a No. 2 ranking in the national polls during the 2010 season. He owns the second-best mark after 25 games coached in Auburn history with his 20-5 start, and currently owns a 13-game winning streak. Auburn has achieved success in 2010 despite a rugged schedule that has included eight bowl-eligible teams. In fact, Auburn is the only team in the country that has defeated five teams currently ranked in the top 25 of the BCS standings. Chizik has placed his stamp firmly on the Auburn program, including a “never say quit” attitude that has seen Auburn rally from four doubledigit deficits to win this season, including the largest comeback in school history when the Tigers turned a 24-0 deficit at Alabama into a 28-27 victory. Auburn is 5-2 after trailing by double digits in Chizik’s first two seasons, after going 4-44 over the 14 seasons prior to his arrival in such games. Chizik has also excelled in close games, as the Tigers have won six games this season by single digits, including four games that were decided by just three points or less, which is the most since 1960. Auburn has won eight games in his two seasons in which the Tigers trailed or were tied in the fourth quarter. Auburn’s success in 2010 really started in 2009, after Chizik inhertited a team that had finished 5-7 in 2008 and quickly began rebuilding the program. During his first season as Auburn’s head coach, he led the Tigers to an 8-5 record and a victory over Northwestern in the 2010 Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day. He became the first head coach in school history to lead his team to a bowl game in his first season, just the third coach in Auburn history to win his first five games as head coach and only the third SEC coach since the conference expanded in 1992 to win his first five games. Chizik’s first Auburn squad set numerous team and individual records, including team records for most points (433) and total yards (5,613) in a season.
The Tigers had a knack for playing well in big games, winning four games against teams that played in bowl games during the 2009 season. The momentum from the 2009 season carried over into the recruiting season, as Chizik signed his second consecutive highly-ranked class. Auburn’s 2010 recruiting class was ranked No. 4 in the nation by both Rivals.com and ESPN/Scouts Inc., as the Tigers continue to build towards the future. The program’s defensive coordinator from 200204, Chizik was named Auburn’s 26th head coach on December 13, 2008, after serving the two previous seasons as head coach at Iowa State. A 23-year coaching veteran, Chizik helped Auburn and Texas to consecutive undefeated seasons in 2004 and 2005. His three-year stint as Auburn’s defensive coordinator culminated in 2004, when he helped guide the Tigers to a 13-0 season while earning the Frank Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach. Chizik also served as the assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator at Texas from 2005-06 where he helped the Longhorns to a perfect season and national championship in 2005. During his tenure at Auburn, Chizik’s 2004 defense led the nation in scoring defense (11.3 ppg) and was fifth nationally in total defense, allowing just 277.6 yards per contest. In three years at Auburn, Chizik helped the Tigers to a 30-9 mark including an 18-6 Southeastern Conference record. In 2003, Auburn’s defense was fifth nationally in total defense. In his two seasons in Austin, the Longhorns were 22-3. At one point, he was a part of 29 consecutive victories, which began in 2003 at Auburn and ended in 2006 at Texas. Chizik’s reputation as an outstanding teacher is evident by the fact that he tutored a remarkable three consecutive Thorpe Award winners, starting with Auburn’s Carlos Rogers in 2004, followed by Texas’ Michael Huff and Aaron Ross in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Marcus Nash’s 73-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter provided the winning points as Tennessee defeated Auburn, 30-29, in the sixth SEC Championship Game. Peyton Manning’s scoring pass to Nash capped a 13point Vol comeback. Tennessee jumped out to an early lead when Manning hit Peerless Price on a 40-yard score on the first drive of the game. But Auburn took advantage of Vol miscues to score on a pair of Jaret Holmes field goals, a 24-yard Brad Ware fumble recovery and a 51-yard Dameyune Craig-to-Tyrone Goodson pass. The Tigers led 20-10 heading into the intermission. The two teams exchanged touchdowns early in the third quarter before Manning hit Price for another score, this one from 46 yards out, late in the third. However, Auburn’s Charles Dorsey blocked the PAT, which was returned by Quinton Reese for a 29-23 Tiger lead. Auburn enjoyed that lead until Nash caught a five-yard pass from Manning, dodged a tackle and raced 73 yards up the SCORING SUMMARY sideline for the game-winning score.

Turnovers plagued the 17thranked Tigers in their rematch against the 7th-ranked Florida Gators in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. Florida scored touchdowns off three Auburn turnovers in the first half to come away with a 28-6 victory. On the first play of the game, Auburn quarterback Ben Leard hit Reggie Worthy for a 10-yard gain, but the ball was knocked loose and the Gators recovered at the Auburn 41-yard line. Five plays later, Florida quarterback Rex Grossman connected with Reche Caldwell on a 10-yard scoring pass to give the Gators a 7-0 lead less than two minutes into the game. After an exchange of punts, Auburn took over at its 31-yard line and went on its first march into Florida territory. Leard hooked up with Ronney Daniels twice for 17 yards and hit Rudi Johnson for an 11 yard gain to move the Tigers to the Florida 22-yard line. But the drive ended when Leard's pass for Daniels was intercepted at the seven-yard line. The Gators wasted little time in converting on the turnover.

December 4, 2004 Georgia Dome (74,892) • Atlanta, Ga. Jason Campbell passed for 374 yards and three touchdowns as No. 3 Auburn defeated 15th-ranked Tennessee, 3828, to earn its first Southeastern Conference Championship since 1989. Campbell completed 27-of35 passes and also ran for 57 yards on 13 carries. He ended the game with 431 offensive yards -- the second best in Auburn history -- en route to being named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Auburn, meanwhile, went 12-0 for the first time in school history. The Tigers defeated Tennessee for the second time during the season and third meeting in a row. The Tigers had not defeated the Volunteers in three straight games since 1982-84. Auburn started off the scoring early, capitalizing on a Carnell Williams fumble into the end zone as Cole Bennett jumped on the ball, and the Tigers had a 7-0 lead less than two minutes into the game. Williams got his score five minutes later, taking the ball into the end zone for a 5-yard rush. The score marked Williams’ 13th this season and extended his scoring streak to nine games, a school record.
