Auburn’s most important position battle this fall carries ton of weight

The offensive line.

We’ve written here that the Auburn running game will be better this season than it was last year when it boasted the last two SEC rushing champions in Kerryon Johnson (2017) and Kamryn Pettway (2016). We’ve also taken a deeper look at how the running back position has played out during the Gus Malzhan era.

But the bottom line is this: No team can run the ball effectively with any kind of consistency without a strong offensive line. And the Tigers have questions entering fall camp. Lots of them.

The players competing for those five important spots across the line are mostly inexperienced, but not short on talent.
