Auburn’s offense has been disappointing through the first two weeks of the season but with a strong showing against the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday, all will be forgiven.
The Tigers are set to face Penn State in their first big test of the season and will do so as 3-point underdogs at home. However, the game is certainly winnable and it will likely come down to how Auburn’s offense performs against their defense.
The Tigers are averaging 33.0 points per game and a solid 7.12 yards per play. However, that came against Mercer and San Jose State, two programs that Auburn should have success moving the ball against. Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions have held their opponents to 20.5 points per game and 4.69 yards per play.
Here are five keys for Auburn’s offense against the Penn State defense.
