Episode Details

WARNING: Auburn football cannot take this version of its first quarter offense on the road to Tennessee.

The Tigers are winning games, but the slow starts are becoming impossible to ignore.

Auburn has repeatedly struggled to establish offensive rhythm early. The opening scripts are not producing points, the running game has become predictable, and the offense too often seems to wait for Byrum Brown to make a spectacular individual play before anything gets moving.

That is dangerous at home.

It could be devastating at Neyland Stadium.

The biggest concern is not simply that Auburn is running inside too often. It is the overall predictability of the offense. The Tigers do not consistently look like they are attacking specific weaknesses identified on film. Instead, too many possessions feel like Auburn is simply running its offense and hoping execution eventually wins.
