Week One showed us all a lot about not just Auburn football, but also about the rest of the SEC West and other opponents on the Tigers’ 2021 schedule.
AU took care of business in spectacular fashion, downing Akron 60-10 in an effort that could have seen historic totals if Bo Nix stayed in the game beyond the third quarter. TJ Finley’s struggles allowed the Zips to gain a semblance of momentum en route to a pair of scores.
As for their opponents, some delivered as expected, but others showed serious weaknesses that the Tigers may be able to exploit.
