The 2008 Auburn Tigers football team will represent Auburn University in the 2008-2009 college football season. Head coach Tommy Tuberville returns for his tenth season at Auburn, the second longest tenure at the same school among current SEC head coaches. He is joined by a new defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads and was previously joined by then new offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, who attempted to implement his spread offense in an failed effort to correct the Tigers' 2007 offensive struggles. Franklin was fired by Tuberville six games into the season to the delight of Auburn fans.
Auburn will play a seven-game home schedule at Jordan-Hare Stadium, while traveling to Mountaineer Field in Morgantown, West Virginia for the Tigers' first ever meeting with the West Virginia Mountaineers.[1] The Tennessee Volunteers return to the Tigers' schedule for the first time since Auburn defeated Tennessee twice in AU's 2004 perfect season. LSU, Arkansas, and Georgia round out Auburn's tough home conference schedule.
Pre-Season
Rankings
The Tigers entered the season with high expectations, ranked highly by multiple polls in the preseason. The Associated Press Poll placed Auburn at #10[2] while the USA Today Coaches' Poll, a component of the Bowl Championship Series rankings, had Auburn at #11.[3] Other rankings include:

Schedule
Auburn's schedule consists of eight Southeastern Conference opponents (four home, four away) and four non-conference opponents. AU meets Tennessee-Martin and West Virginia for the first time. The WVU game, a mid-season inter-conference Thursday night matchup, is the first of a two game home-and-home series between the two teams. Of the remaining ten opponents that the Tigers have previously faced, Auburn holds the all-time series lead against all but Alabama and LSU. Four opponents — #1 Georgia, LSU, West Virginia and Tennessee — were ranked in both the preseason USA Today and AP Polls. Alabama was also ranked in the AP Poll. Tennessee dropped out of the polls before playing Auburn; however, Vanderbilt would enter the polls by the time the Commodores played Auburn.

Game Notes
Louisiana-Monroe
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2008) |
Auburn's first possession only picked up 1 first down, but the punt put UL-Monroe in bad field position. On the first play,Auburn Defensive End Antonio Coleman made a huge hit on UL-Monroe's quarterback, forcing a fumble on the UL-Monroe 9-yard line, and the Defense picked it up and took it back for the Auburn Tigers' first touchdown. A few possessions later, Auburn Receiver and Punt Returner Robert Dunn returned a UL-Monroe punt for a TD with 0:04 left in the 1st Quarter. At halftime, Auburn had a 17-0 lead after a Wes Byrum field goal. On the opening kickoff of the 3rd quarter, UL-Monroe fumbled the ball and Auburn recovered, leading to a TD run from Brad Lester. Another field goal from Byrum would make the score 27-0 going into the 4th Quarter. Kodi Burns had left the game with a cut in his leg, so Chris Todd played the rest of the game. Later in the 4th, Todd would lead Auburn down the field with a excellent and suddenly effective passing game, ending in a 3-yard Touchdown pass to Chris Slaughter to seal the victory. It was the first shutout for Auburn since a 27-0 wins over Arkansas State on November 4, 2006. It was also the first time Auburn had scored on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams since the 2003 73-7 beating of UL-Monroe. Auburn finished with 406 yards of offense, 321 Rushing yards and 85 passing yards. Auburn picked up 19 first downs while UL-Monroe picked up 12.
