LBs Frost, McKinzy Coming Up Big for Auburn
Kris Frost and Cassanova McKinzy had been coming through for Auburn even before they combined on the team’s biggest play of the season.
The two linebackers for the third-ranked Tigers have helped turn a position that had been regarded as a liability the last few seasons into a strength of the defense.
McKinzy says early in the season the duo “felt like the Auburn linebackers weren’t getting a lot of recognition.” They’ve started to change that.
McKinzy and Frost never come up bigger than in the final minutes of the Mississippi game. Frost forced a fumble at the goal line and McKinzy dove on the ball in the end zone to help preserve a 35-31 win and Auburn’s national title hopes entering Saturday’s game with Texas A&M.
