Biggest Problem As Underdog Auburn Tackles New Season
Auburn opens the 1950 season against Walter Reed in Montgomery, facing a line weakened at tackles after the loss of Travis Tidwell. Coach Earl Brown remans fullback and backfield, with Jack Bert or Bill Tucker contesting Tidwell’s quarterback role while Jim Wail and Dwight Huttemsher provide defense and receiving options. The Tigers rely on Don Blackerby and Charlie Langner to bolster a thinner line, hoping a strong backfield and two capable halves offset pass-defense gaps from last year.
