AUBURN, Ala. – The bye week could not have come at a better time for Auburn.

This is a team that has a number of players banged up on both sides of the ball, but the offensive line, in particular, has been ravaged by injuries this season. It’s probably felt like a game of musical chairs up front as the coaches have had to run out five different starting combinations over the past six games.

“This has been a pretty unique year from the standpoint we’ve never had this many different lineups up front,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said during Wednesday’s SEC teleconference.
