The 1977 Auburn Tigers football team achieved an overall record of 5–6 under second-year head coach Doug Barfield and 4–2 in the SEC . [1] However, due to sanctions imposed against Mississippi state, the loss that year was vacated and Auburn's record officially improved to 6–5 (5–1).
Four players were named to the All-SEC first team for 1977: Lynn Johnson ( OG ), James McKinney ( DB ), Jorge Portela ( SP ), and Freddie Smith ( LB ). [2]
