The Auburn Tigers are 3-1 to start the [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] era but the schedule is about to get a whole lot tougher now that SEC play has started.
That was shown last week when the Tigers lost 27-10 to the Texas A&M Aggies. Their next three games are against Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss, all of whom are ranked inside the top 20 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll.
While Auburn has just one loss so far, they had a close call against Cal and the offense has not exactly inspired confidence. Starting quarterback [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] has completed 65% of his passes against Power Five opponents and [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] hasn’t looked great in his opportunities either.
One area that has shined has been the running backs, led by [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] they give Auburn one of the deepest rooms in the conference, although that will be tested by Damari Alston’s shoulder injury.
Here is a look at how Auburn’s offense compares to the rest of the SEC and the nation in several key areas.
