6. Clint Moseley (2010-12)

By the numbers: Clint Moseley completed 104-of-168 passes (61.9 percent) for 1,173 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions.

FlyWarEagle analysis: Moseley saved the day in his first real playing time in 2011, sparking Auburn to a 17-6 victory against Florida after starting QB Barrett Trotter struggled. He completed 4-of-7 passes for 90 yards in that game. The following week against top-ranked LSU in Baton Rouge was another story. He hit 12-of-20 passes for 145 yards, but was intercepted once and sacked six times. His inability to escape the rush plagued him during his Auburn career. He was an accurate passer, but like Wallace, his timing was not good as the Tigers went into a downward spiral in 2012 when he started three games.
