Tigers of the Game: Auburn loses to Georgia

Here are our Tigers of the game…

Auburn was unable to convert on their chances in their 34-10 loss to Georgia.

Auburn took a 3-0 lead before Georgia scored 17-straight points to take a lead and never looked back. The Tigers made three trips into the red zone but came away with just 10 points and was unable to score in the second or third quarter as Georgia added to their lead.

The loss was Auburn’s fifth straight in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

The outcome was not what Auburn was hoping for but several Auburn players played well and deserve recognition. Here is a look at the players who played best in each phase for Auburn.

Auburn fires wide receivers’ coach Cornelius Williams

What do you think of this move?

The former Troy University wide receivers’ coach has been let go, per Justin Hokanson.

Cornelius Williams spent the previous six years at Troy before being hired to coach wide receivers at Auburn. Williams was three games into his first season with the Tigers. Williams has also spent time at UAB and Jacksonville State. His prowess on the recruiting trail intrigued fans before the season began, but unfortunately the on the field product was not impressive. Auburn’s receivers has struggled to create separation consistently. Communication and drops have also been an issue. How Auburn evaluates and coaches the position moving forward is up in the air. More details to come.

Kobe Hudson is starting for Auburn football on his birthday

Auburn receiver Kobe Hudson is starting against Alabama State.

Kobe Hudson is a starter for the Auburn Tigers Saturday against Alabama State.

Hudson was a big part of the competition at wide receiver throughout fall Auburn’s camp.

Ja’Varrius Johnson will miss Saturday’s game and Hudson will be filling that role to be one of quarterback Bo Nix’s main targets at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Also, it is Hudson’s birthday.

Is Kobe Hudson sliding down the depth chart?

Is there a breakout star in the making at Auburn’s fall camp?

Kobe Hudson appears to be sliding down the depth chart as Auburn football’s fall camp moves forward.

Justin Hokanson of Auburn Live joined the Locked On Auburn podcast and shared some information about the wide receivers. One of his points was that Hudson is not with the starting offense because of Malcolm Johnson Jr.’s solid play.

“Malcolm Johnson Jr, who has not been talked about until (Monday) coincidedentily,” Hokanson said. “Malcolm Johnson Jr. is a freshman 4-star who is very raw. He is getting first-team reps ahead of Kobe Hudson a lot.

“The receiver position is wide open but people just go ‘(Ze’Vian) Capers, (Elijah) Canion, Hudson’ and then maybe Demetris (Robertson) but Malcolm Johnson Jr. is completely in the mix.”

Auburn may be seeing a star in the making with Johnson Jr.’s speed in the mix in this offensive attack.

Hudson dropped a pass in front of the media last week and was also labeled as inconsistent during spring practices. He dropped a catchable in the A-Day game as well.

Ranking Auburn’s wide receivers in 2021

Let’s rank the Auburn wide receiver room now that Demetris Robertson is a part of the team.

With the addition of Demetris Robertson transferring to Auburn, the Tigers have a much different look at wide receivers entering the 2021 season.

The former Georgia receiver will be the oldest player in the room and will carry the most experience of any skill player in Bryan Harsin’s offense. Although inexperienced, the wide receiver room on The Plains is filled will a lot of explosive players and has a ridiculous amount of upside.

With the departure of Eli Stove, Seth Williams, and Anthony Schwartz, Auburn’s next version of a big three at the wide receiver position will be a wait and see type situation as younger guys like Kobe Hudson, ZeVian Capers, and Elijah Canion fight for playing time in this new Mike Bobo offense.

Let’s rate Auburn’s receivers going into fall camp after the addition of Robertson.

Auburn Spring Practice: Who steps up at the wide receiver position?

Auburn has an inexperienced but talented wide receivers corps that will need to step up for the Tigers’ passing game in 2021.

I have a lot of questions about every aspect of Auburn football ahead of spring practice, but the wide receiver position is by far the most mysterious. This offseason the Tigers lost the majority of their wide receiver production in the departures of Seth Williams, Eli Stove, and Anthony Schwartz to the NFL.

It’s ‘next man up’ time and there are many fresh faces due to step up for the Tigers. I have no idea what the starting lineup is going to look like as that is Cornelius Williams’ job, but here’s everybody who’ll be competing:
