Damari Alston's injury news might end up being awful for the Auburn Tigers. He's an offensive linchpin, sure, but in his absence, a breakout candidate might be brewing in the Plains.
With Alston out, all eyes were on Jeremiah Cobb, and he came through in his first start for the Tigers in two years with 121 yards and two touchdowns.
Hugh Freeze believed this performance was Cobb's first step in proving his prediction for him right.
"I said several times this summer that I really thought he would be one that had a breakout year, and I still believe that," Freeze said in his post-game conference.
