He was the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at UCLA prior to taking over the same duties at California. "I am very excited about joining the Auburn coaching staff," said Borges. "I am looking forward to working with this program and developing a successful offensive system." While at UCLA from 1996-2000, the Bruins won a school- record 20 straight games between 1997 and 1998 and in both seasons, Borges was a finalist for the Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year award. He was named Football Coach Quarterly's offensive coordinator of the year in 1997. Borges helped lead UCLA to three bowl game appearances in five seasons.

In 1995, Borges served as the offensive coordinator/quarterback coach at the University of Oregon and helped guide the Ducks to an appearance in the Cotton Bowl. Oregon led the Pac-10 in passing, averaging 263.8 yards per game. Borges also made coaching stops at Boise State (1993- 94) and Portland State (1986-92).

LOL, he's got PAC-10 on his zoomie ... maybe Tubby thinks he can bring a passing attack to his table and a few passing plays. Tubby has NO CHANCE OR PRAYER to beat LSU this year. Expect to see AU throwing more early ... goodie, goodie, goodie ... I can't friggin wait for those picks ... AND ANOTHER CHANCE TO SEE THE LSU DEE MAUL ANOTHER FB NERD NAMED JASON
correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Indiana have trouble finding the endzone this year? At one stretch, didn't their QB not have a single passing TD in (perhaps someone can help with the statistics) how many games? I wouldn't exactly be thrilled with that hiring either. ..but it's I think it's GREAT for Auburn!!! LOL!
