Auburn is set to have their second test of the season Saturday night against the San Jose State Spartans.
The Tiger’s offense had a good but far from perfect showing in Week 1 against Mercer and has several things they need to improve on this weekend. [autotag]Tank Bigbsy[/autotag] and [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] looked as good as advertised, combining for 184 yards and five touchdowns, but will be facing a tougher test this weekend.
The Spartans held Portland State to 17 points and just 3.57 yards per carry. They also limited any big runs, Portland State’s longest run was for 14 yards.
While the rushing attack looked to be in midseason form against Mercer, the same was not true for the passing offense. [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] and [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] and the receivers will have a great chance to work on protecting the football, creating explosive plays, and getting more experience before Auburn’s schedules gets significantly more challenging.
Here are five areas Auburn’s offense needs to work on in their game against the Spartans. The game is set to start at 6:30 p.m. CT Saturday and will be on ESPNU.
