Auburn managed to work like a well-oiled machine against Ball State even without their running back starter Damari Alston, who is nursing a injured shoulder from Week 1.
Making matters worse, Hugh Freeze reported that UConn transfer running back Durell Robinson is also suffering a "freak" injury.
This would be concerning news for the Tigers' running back room were it not for their young talent Omar Mabson stepping up and Jeremiah Cobb handling the rest.
"I’d feel better if Durell (Robinson) was healthy, but Omar (Mabson) had some really good carries and was solid," Freeze said in his press conference previewing South Alabama.
