Auburn QB Battle: Brown Stumbles, Ti’a Shines
Description
Auburns A-Day scrimmage revealed quarterback struggles, with Byrum Browns performance raising concerns. The transfer from South Florida, expected to bolster the offense, threw two interceptions and showed signs of struggling without using his legs or facing real pressure. The Tigers quarterback room was depleted after several players transferred, and while Brown had impressed earlier, his performance in the scrimmage was disappointing. The offense, running a tempo scheme similar to Goleshs old USF scheme, scored on six of nine long drives but averaged only 5.2 yards per play and 2.9 per carry. Receiver losses further thinned the unit, forcing freshmen into key roles. However, younger transfer Tristan Ti’a from Oregon State stole the show as the second-team starter, hitting 15 of 20 passes for 179 yards, a touchdown, and one interception. With prior game experience, Ti’a is looking like a strong backup option, and his performance hints at depth that could keep Auburn competitive come fall.
