Reintroducing the Fullback


Every season has some questions of who will start at various positions.  It is even somewhat of a tradition when it comes to Auburn's quarterback.  (Open competition every year since Brandon Cox, 2007.)  But the 2012 season brings some questions about how the offense and defense will run as a whole.  Scot Loeffler is the new offensive coordinator and Brian VanGorder is the new defensive coordinator. While VanGorder's style is better known because of his time with UGA and the Atlanta Falcons, Loeffler's style is more of a mystery.  He is best known for being the quarterbacks' coach at Michigan and Florida.  He was no an OC until last year, at Temple.  But one of things we've heard so far is that the offense will focus on a more physical run game.

The depth chart came out earlier this week, but there was at least one position that was never in doubt.  Jay Prosch at fullback.
