FROM ESPN.com (after Auburn/Clemson Bowl Game)
Freshman quarterback Kodi Burns, receiving an expanded role in Auburn's new spread offense, scored on a 7-yard run in overtime to give the Tigers a 23-20 victory over Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Monday night.
Burns, who shared snaps with senior starter Brandon Cox, threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Mario Fannin in the third quarter and led Auburn with 69 yards rushing on 13 carries. Just like that, Auburn may have found its next starting quarterback.
Here's another argument for expanding Henton's role. Auburn is another team that fits the conservative offensive/strong defense; so is Virginia Tech. Both teams have struggled to find their offensive identify and both have started to use a two-quarterback system lately with much success. It may be a trend that only increases in the years to come and Tress, being a student of the game, I am sure is aware of this trend and will pull out all stops to right the wrong of last year.
