Ugh... that was a bad AU roster looking back unless I'm somehow discounting someone: LINK
You're discounting a lot. That's a solid roster. Not tons of elite NFL talent, but lots of very good college guys, and plenty of NFL depth.
You don't mention the two Pro Bowlers on the OL (McNeill and Grubbs), or that Courtney Taylor is statistically one of the best WRs in AU history.
Very solid defense there as well and Muschamp was the DC.
That would have statistically been one of the top defenses in the country
Groves (RIP) and SeDerrick Marks on the DL were both good NFL players. Groves was a beast in college as well. Stanley McClover was a POS but very good college player
At LB Karibi DeDe and Travis Williams are both having successful coaching careers right now and were both All SEC type guys. Kevin Sears was solid.
Will Herring and Pat Lee at DB had solid and lengthy NFL careers while David Irons, Eric Brock, and Tristan Davis were all All SEC guys and other solid DBs like Pitts and Hobbs
You must be a young guy. Just because that roster only has a couple 1st rounders and pro bowlers doesnt mean that it wasnt a very good college roster with tons of NFL role players
The fact by your comment you seemingly dont remember Kenny Irons at RB, I'm definitely assuming you're still college age at best.

Never change Bowl...
Perhaps "bad" was not really the term I was looking for... but you can't possibly be arguing that this was one of your more talented rosters can you?
I will freely admit that I'm not intimately familiar with SEC West OL players from the mid 2000s... Just because they had success in the NFL doesn't mean I equate them back to Auburn unless there is some specific reason to do so. I catalog a lot of knowledge in my brain, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
He accounted for 22 receptions and 278 yards in 2005... playing in 11 games... He may have had a good career at Auburn, but he didn't have a good year in 2005... No one said every player was complete shite. Holy overreaction... dem jimmies... they rustlin' on a Friday evening/Saturday AM.
This is true, and if I'd given it a lot of thought, rather than quickly responding after an initial glance back for the first time in probably 12 years, I likely would have modified my statement to a bad/mediocre offensive roster, rather than overall
With that said, they still gave up 30 points to the dawgs, so not exactly an elite performance... but were it not for a defensive score, Aubie loses that game... so ultimately, they got the job done.
I wish... would probably be out slaying instead of on a message board on a Friday late night...
Again, my comments were made on an initial glance, not some in depth analysis of the roster and I would anticipate that you likely know Auburn's historical players a lot better than your opponents would... much the same as I'd know UGA players better than you would.
As to Kenny Irons, I remember him well. Transferred from USC to AU. Had a good 2005 season, but as I mentioned, hardly one of the most talented RBs of that era for Auburn... particularly coming the year after a much more loaded backfield with Cadillac and Ronnie Brown.
