Auburn's offense has already been struggling. Now, the Tigers will be without their mainstay at center as Connor Lew suffered a torn ACL in the loss to Missouri and will be out for the rest of the season, according to On3's Bryan Matthews.
A three-year starter for Auburn, Lew went out of the game on the first drive of the second half, being replaced by true freshman Kail Ellis.
After the game, Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze talked about the challenge of losing a stalwart like Lew.
“We got banged up tonight, for sure,” Freeze said.
