1957 Team to be Honored at Vandy Game
OTWS held an exclusive interview with Mark Richard, Senior Associate Athletic Director this morning regarding the upcoming Auburn football season. Mark explained that the opening game against Kansas State is part of a contract between the 2 schools where Auburn would make a return trip in the year 2014. That game would be played at Arrowhead Stadium. Additionally, Mark explained to OTWS that the 1957 National Championship team will be honored at this year's Vanderbilt game, being that this year is the 50 year anniversary of Auburn's first claimed national championship. The '57 team will be on hand and the Tigers plan to play the Commodores in throw-back jerseys to honor the undefeated squad.
