Auburn Live Show: The Monday Morning QB with Ben Leard
Ben Leard played quarterback for Auburn from 1997-2000. Leard’s 1999 season remains one of the more prolific passing seasons in Auburn history. Leard’s .707 percent completion mark and touchdown-to-interception ratio of 12:1 in 1999 still rank first all-time for a single season, and Leard’s 1.71 touchdowns per game that same season rank third all-time among single-season records behind only Cam Newton in 2010 and Pat Sullivan in 1971. Leard then led the 2000 team to nine wins and the SEC Western Division championship. Now, residing in Auburn, Alabama, Leard is a regular contributor to Auburn Live.
Due to a scheduling conflict, we recorded with Leard on Tuesday morning, instead of the normal Monday morning. We discussed what the expectations are for the Tigers in the final five games of the season, and how fans should approach this football team with uncertainty surrounding the head coaching situation.
