Let’s take a look at last year’s stats for both Louisville & Auburn. Both teams are making key changes from a year ago. For Louisville’s it is replacing most of an offensive line, a 1st Round WR, a Jim Thorpe Award Winner, and 10 Draft Selections. Auburn is changing its style of QB and hoping that Will Muschamp had enough time to overhaul a defense that had its struggles.
Auburn scored 4.3 more points per game than UofL, Louisville allwed 4.9 fewer points per game than the Tigers. Louisville was a great Rush D in 2014, Auburn was a fantastic rushing offense a year ago.
We’ll do a full breakdown on Offense vs Defense this week for the match-up. Press Conferences, Interviews, Teleconferences, Fan Guides, and much much more coming leading up to the Chick-fil-A Kickoff!
