2000 yrds Rushing and Receiving

[MDM4AU 337]

TWO THOUSAND TIMES TWO

For the first time in school history, Auburn had both a career 2,000-yard rusher and career 2,000-yard receiver on the same team. Courtney Taylor surpassed the 2,000-yard mark in receiving during Auburn's victory over Arkansas State Nov. 4, and the following Saturday against Georgia, Kenny Irons went over the 2,000-yard mark in rushing. Irons, who finished his career with 2,186 career rushing yards, became the 12th Auburn player to pass the 2,000-yard mark in rushing, but Taylor, who posted 2,098 career receiving yards, is one of just four Tigers to reach 2,000 yards receiving.
