Surprises Expected in Auburn Opening Lineup
Auburn coach Ralph Jordan said there will be few surprises in naming the starting lineup for Saturday's season opener with Oregon State in Birmingham. The Tigers looked unimpressive in practice as they entered the final week of 1973 preparations. Jordan called the defense fair and noted the offense did not look cohesive, though punter Robert Pruett and fullback Rusty Fuller, recovering from a pulled muscle, drew praise.
