Ben Tate | Auburn
DraftSeason: Ben after a so-so offensive year from the Tigers everyone is looking fora big bounce back year. What is different this year and what can we expectfrom you?
Ben Tate :What’s different about this year is that the new coaches are making football fun again. Everyone is more enthusiastic about playing football. The coaches have brought a whole new offensive scheme that is incorporating a power north/south running scheme, with taking shots down field with the deep ball.
