Three Months later in February 1999. Auburn has exchanged Florida State for a Division I-AA school (now FCS) Appalachian State by paying up $500k to avoid the controversy in the wake of the resignation of Terry Bowden.
What a terrible season 1998 was. The quarterback play was really bad that year. Our starter got benched by the 4th or 5th game and had a freshman the rest of the year. Those games were tough to sit through. The last 2-3 years under Terry Bowden Auburn had no running game whatsoever. No running game + an inexperienced QB = a 3-8 record.
He should've recruited an sec caliber tailback and not tried to copy what his daddy was doing at Fla St. That pass heavy offense with the little 150lbs running back doesn't really work in the sec. Even with Spurrier's pass attack at Fla they still had a strong ground game. Bowden was just not a good fit for Auburn once Pat Dye's recruits were gone.
Dante Culpepper... greatest UCF player ever!
Wonder who would win if Auburn 1998 and 2012 played each other. Worst seasons of my lifetime.
Andy Sommers I don't know at least 1998 Auburn had a good defence and most of our loses were close but both were tremendously painful
Andy Sommers but our 2012 team wasn't untalented obviously because we finished #2 in 2013 but Gene Chizik still isn't a real head coach
Do you have 2000 UCF vs Alabama?
