3 Things That Worry Me About Auburn
Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty ImagesHere is what I’m NOT worried about for Saturday’s home opener against Auburn:
1) You Shall Not Run. You might pass, but I really don’t see a running game from Auburn. We gave up 77 yards on the ground last week, with arguably a better back than Auburn trots out. The Tigers rushed 30 times for 91 yards last week, and the quarterback was the leading rusher. That’s usually not indicative of a strong running game, unless you’re Lynn Bowden, Lamar Jackson, or Michael Vick. Bo Nix hasn’t quite gotten to that level yet. And neither Bo Jackson, Cadillac Williams, nor Kerryon “My Wayward John”-son is in the backfield behind him.
