So, the other day, I got thinking about that wild 2013 Auburn football season. You know the one, with the miracle finishes. It made me want to look back and see exactly who was on that team roster. Sometimes you just get an itch to check out old team lists, right?
First thing I did was just hop on my computer and do a basic search. Something simple like “Auburn football roster 2013”. Pretty standard stuff. Got a whole load of results back, as you’d expect.
Digging Through the Results
I started clicking through some of the links. A few were news articles talking about the big games, especially the Iron Bowl, which was cool, but not exactly the list I wanted. Found some fan forum discussions too, but those can be hit or miss for accurate, complete rosters.
Some sites had partial lists, maybe just the starters or the big names. That wasn’t quite what I was after. I wanted the whole thing, you know? See all the names, positions, numbers if possible. Took a bit of clicking around, going back and forth between search results.
I figured maybe the official Auburn Athletics website might have archives. Sometimes college sites keep old media guides or roster pages tucked away somewhere. Navigating those official sites can be a bit of a maze sometimes, but I poked around their football section for a bit.
Finding the Goods
Finally hit jackpot. I landed on a page, I think it was from a major sports stats site, maybe one that archives college football data really well. It had exactly what I was looking for. A clean list.
- Quarterback: Nick Marshall was the guy, remember him?
- Running Back: Tre Mason, what a player he was that year.
- Offensive Line: Had big guys like Greg Robinson.
- Defense: Dee Ford was making plays.
It listed out the players, their positions, jersey numbers, the whole deal. Seeing all those names together really brought back memories of that season. It wasn’t super complicated to find, just took a little patience scrolling past the news highlights to get to a proper roster list.
Anyway, mission accomplished. Got the 2013 Auburn roster pulled up and took a nice trip down memory lane looking at the names that made that incredible season happen. Always satisfying when you track down the specific piece of info you were hunting for.
