The Full Auburn depth chart for Week 6

Coach Bryan Harsin has made perhaps his biggest changes yet for the team’s Week 6 depth chart ahead of its Georgia matchup.

It’s Georgia week, and coach [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag] has come prepared.

There are a lot of changes for the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. There’s a new position on the depth chart, called “Nickel”, where cornerback [autotag]Keionte Scott[/autotag] starts. The entire offensive line for the Tigers has been restructured to more closely match what Auburn came out with during the LSU game, which was far different than what it put on the depth chart. Finally, there are two players that were elevated to starters — wide receiver [autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag] and cornerback [autotag]D.J. James[/autotag].

Here is the updated depth chart for Auburn’s matchup on Saturday:

Greg Brooks Jr. gets the game ball against Auburn

Brooks had an interception late in the fourth quarter that sealed the win.

“He takes what he wants.”

That was the saying fans always used to describe former LSU safety [autotag]Tyrann Mathieu[/autotag]. On Saturday night, when the Tigers needed it the most, [autotag]Greg Brooks Jr.[/autotag] did his best honey badger impression.

LSU was clinging to a 21-17 lead with 2:25 left in the fourth quarter, and Auburn was driving down the field. On second and eleven from the LSU 36-yard line, Robby Ashford tried to hit former LSU receiver [autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag] on a curl route over the middle.

Brooks had other plans.

He stole the ball out of the hands of Moore and returned it to the Auburn 46-yard line before Ashford took him down. That interception sealed the victory for LSU as the Tigers would pick up a first down on their next drive and run the clock out.

He received the game ball for his efforts.

When [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and his teammates needed him the most, Brooks showed up and made what could be the play of the season so far.

Five takeaways from Auburn’s loss to LSU

How long does Bryan Harsin have at Auburn?

LSU got four takeaways on Saturday, so it’s only natural that we at Auburn Wire do the same, too.

Jokes aside, the Tigers dropped its first SEC game this season against LSU, 21-17. It wasn’t pretty, with a stellar start negated by sloppy play, turnovers and a general lack of prowess on defense. There’s a lot to unpack, but there isn’t a lot of hope for Auburn fans or the team’s boosters going forward for what should be a brutal stretch in its next five games.

Without further ado, here are four key takeaways from Auburn’s loss at home to LSU.

Instant Analysis: Comeback leads LSU past Auburn in road SEC win

The Tigers overcame a 17-0 deficit to move to 2-0 in SEC play.

LSU got punched in the mouth yet again on Saturday night. The Tigers looked totally out of sorts to start the game, falling behind 17-0 early in a game that looked like it could get ugly.

But once again, this team responded. The defense tightened up, shutting out Auburn in the second half and scoring a touchdown on a fumble return. The offense — while far from perfect — did just enough to bring the team back as LSU earned a 21-17 win.

It was truly pretty remarkable considering how the game began, including [autotag]Sevyn Banks[/autotag]’ scary injury situation on the opening kickoff.. The Tigers gave up two touchdown passes from Robby Ashford early, and facing a three-score deficit, it looked like things could get out of hand.

That’s when the defense came up with a huge play. A strip-sack from [autotag]BJ Ojulari[/autotag] was recovered by [autotag]Jay Ward[/autotag], who returned it for a touchdown. That play flipped the momentum in the game significantly, and a touchdown run from [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] right before half cut the deficit to three.

It wasn’t Daniels’ best game. He finished just 8 of 20 passing for 80 yards, though he did add 59 on the ground plus the score. Once again, Daniels didn’t complete this game. He was looked shaken up after an awkward slide, and though he tried to stay in, he was ultimately pulled.

[autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] entered, though he wasn’t very successful and completed just two of six passes for five yards. [autotag]John Emery Jr.[/autotag] was the team’s best offensive weapon, taking eight carries for 42 yards and a touchdown in addition to a 39-yard reception, though he did have a fumble that could have been costly at the end.

The ground game, in general, was strong. It totaled 185 yards, led by [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag] with 68 on 17 carries. But it was LSU’s defense that truly saved the day in the second half.

It forced two interceptions, one on a trick play which was thrown by former LSU receiver [autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag] to true freshman [autotag]Harold Perkins Jr.[/autotag], and another from Ashford when the ball was ripped out of Moore’s hands by [autotag]Greg Brooks Jr.[/autotag]

It was overall the best passing day of Ashford’s career. He completed just 19 of 38 passes but totaled 337 yards and two passing touchdowns. Still, his two turnovers held the team back despite AU outgaining LSU 438-270.

It wasn’t the prettiest game, but LSU is now 2-0 and has won four-straight games as it prepares to welcome the top-10 Tennessee Volunteers to town next weekend.

The full Auburn depth chart for Week 5

Last week, there were no changes — this week, there are plenty.

We have some changes this week, folks.

There has been some considerable shuffling around the depth chart for this week, with the biggest difference coming at the quarterback position — [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] is set to start his second week in a row, but [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] has now been listed as a co-backup with freshman [autotag]Holden Geriner[/autotag] since he is practicing this week.

In other news, [autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag] has (again) reclaimed the WRZ position with an “or”, [autotag]Jalil Irvin[/autotag] takes over at center and [autotag]D.J. James[/autotag] is listed as an “or” with Jaylin Simpson.

With all that in mind, here’s what Auburn’s depth chart will look like heading into the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry:

Winners and Losers from Auburn beating Missouri

It was ugly and a bad game but several players had good games for Auburn.

Auburn needed a win to prevent their season from being derailed. They got the win but I doubt anyone is feeling better about this team than if they had lost.

Outside of their first two drives, Aburn’s offense was completely unable to move the ball against Missouri. Thankfully for them and [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag], the defense and [autotag]Oscar Chapman[/autotag] stepped up and were able to keep the Tigers in the game and eventually win 17-14 when Missouri gave the game away, twice.

Here are the winners and losers from Auburn’s first SEC win of the season and a must-win game for Harsin.

The full Auburn depth chart for Week 3

Not a lot of changes this week ahead of Auburn’s first Power 5 matchup:

Another week, another depth chart, as they say.

Well, maybe they don’t say that, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The team’s official Week 3 depth ahead of Auburn’s clash with the Big Ten’s Penn State Nittany Lions has been released, but calling it “new” might be the wrong phrase. Although there were some changes on the press box card for game day last Saturday — quarterbacks [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] and [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] were listed as “OR” and wideout [autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag] was listed ahead of an injured [autotag]Malcom Johnson Jr.[/autotag] — this week’s depth chart is the same as last week’s initial list, so no surprises this week before Auburn’s first Power 5 opponent.

Take a look at the full list below:

Photos from Tiger Walk ahead of Auburn vs. San Jose State

Here are the top photos from Auburn’s pregame festivities ahead of tonights game against San Jose State.

It is nearly time for Auburn football. The Tigers and the San Jose State Spartans are set to start their Week 2 showdown shortly.

Auburn is looking to improve to 2-0 after handling Mercer 42-16 last week. The Spartans beat Portland State 21-17 and are looking to pull off the massive upset.

While all eyes will be turned to the Auburn quarterback rotation to see how the snaps will be split between [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] and [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] there has been a change in the starting lineup.

[autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag], who transferred in from LSU, will start ahead of [autotag]Malcolm Johnson Jr.[/autotag] at wide receiver. While no announcement has been made, the move appears to be injury related as Johnson is not warming up with the rest of the receivers, according to Nathan King of Auburn Undercover.

Moore had one carry for eight yards last week and is looking to make his first catch as a Tiger in tonight’s game.

The game is set to start at 6:30 p.m. CT and will be on ESPNU.

Former LSU receiver announces transfer to Auburn

Koy Moore announced his commitment to an SEC West rival over the weekend.

[autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag], a former LSU wideout who had been in the transfer portal since last October, announced his destination over the weekend.

Moore will be headed to Auburn, where he’ll have a chance to reunite with former LSU quarterback [autotag]TJ Finley[/autotag].

Moore saw playing time as a freshman in 2020 and provided solid play. He was a top-300 recruit in the class of 2020 and was seen as a player who could be a reliable presence in the slot or on the outside. LSU’s wide receiver room saw an influx of talent in 2021, and playing time was harder to come by, ultimately resulting in Moore entering the portal.

LSU’s receiver room remains deep, but losing Moore to a division rival isn’t insignificant. He’s still young and could turn into a pretty good player.

Moore dropped just two passes in his entire time at LSU, but with [autotag]Jaray Jenkins[/autotag] and [autotag]Jack Bech[/autotag] back, the Tigers will still have two experienced receivers to take on the reliable slot role. Moore finished his LSU career with 248 yards on 27 catches over two years.

2022 Transfer Profile: Koy Moore

Koy Moore is Auburn’s ninth addition through the transfer portal this offseason.

Auburn was dangerously thin at wide receiver during spring practice, having just seven scholarship wide receivers on campus.

Bryan Harsin and the rest of the coaching staff knew they needed to land multiple wide receivers from the transfer portal and with the addition of [autotag]Koy Moore[/autotag] they have done just that.

Moore, a transfer from LSU, committed to the Tigers Saturday night and is the second receiver to transfer in this offseason, following former Miami wide receiver [autotag]Dazalin Worsham[/autotag].

Moore had a strong freshman season but fell out of the rotation as a sophomore and decided to enter the portal. He has three years of eligibility remeaning and brings speed to the wide receiver position.

He will have a chance to earn a starting spot at wide receiver as Auburn overhauls the positions under position coach Ike Hilliard.

Here is what you need to know about Auburn’s latest addition at wide receiver.
