Coaches' All-SEC team, Practice date set

Looking up and down the Auburn roster, SEC coaches found difficulty in singling out premier players. That undoubtedly was part explanation and part cause of the Tigers' 5-7 season a year ago.

Auburn placed a pair of players -- DE Antonio Coleman and OT Lee Ziemba -- on the second-team all-SEC squad. RB Ben Tate made the third-team.

No Auburn player was named first-team all-SEC.
