How bad is Auburn's offensive line?
Comments
-
It's the biggest question mark on the team, but the line is loaded with talent. Just lost a lot of experience due to graduation. For example, the starting LT has only been playing football for 3-4 years total (going back to high school). He's just a freak athlete that was originally recruited to play D-line, but got moved the offensive side rather quickly upon seeing his footwork and potential.
The new O-line coach is actually the same guy that coached the line from 2013 - 2015. He's a significant upgrade as far as on field coaching goes.
As for wildcat, AU has run some kind of wildcat package every year under Malzahn. Lindsey also ran some wildcat while he was the OC at Arizona State. I wouldn't read too much into this as it's probably just a new package for matchups. -
My cousin lives over there yuge fan. Told me that they have talent but it is all raw and they look like ass so far.
-
The Husky D line will crush Stidham
-
Here's to hoping we can take advantage of their inexperience early and have them kill the rest of the SEC down the stretch.
-
Not bad enough
-
If Benning can figure out how to play football as a poor man's Joe Mathis, we are going to annihilate Auburn.
-
Is Jonathan Franklin still at Auburn?

We've run it every year in every game since Gus has been the HC.HuskyJW said:per The Athletic.....They installed yesterday a Wildcat package with an unbalanced offensive line....they haven't done that since 2016.
I'm telling you ... our OL is going to be good. Recruited very well. .... We have a 2nd year 5 star that is trying to find a spot.

The Wildcard here is Horton and Ashley. IF Ashley can continue to do well at RG, I think he moves to Guard and puts our most experience OL at C.
Our OL (I'm sure most colleges do this) Cross train. So every OL knows two positions. Tegan (as mentioned above ... our freak) Harrell and Horton have lots of starts between them.
Driscoll transfers from UMass where he excelled and played very well against Miss St last year (didn't give up a sack) and they have been ranked #1 or #2 DL depending on which expert is ranking. So if we can move Horton to Center in place of Kim who is a Redshirt Jr, it allows Ashley to play RG ... Ashley was the bell cow of our recruiting class last year as the only 5 star. This 2nd lineup gives must of us boners.
OL will either be
LT Tega Wongo
LG Harrell
C Kim
RG Horton
RT Driscoll
or
LT Tega
LG Harrell
C Horton
RG Ashley
RT Driscoll

Yes, he'll start over Stidham -
Not as inexperienced as you think. Which ever way our lineup falls, there's only 1 player that doesn't have a start.UW_Doog_Bot said:Here's to hoping we can take advantage of their inexperience early and have them kill the rest of the SEC down the stretch.
Ashley due to redshirt
Kim has been a career backup -

TLDR on all SEC posters is basically some form of 5 reasons, but being 100% serious. More talent, coaching upgrades since the offseason, the only weak spots aren't actually weak spots because xyz, the only losses they had last year weren't real losses because xyz.

We know Greg, Levi, and String are all gonna manhandle Auburn's interior OL. But Rice, Benning, Bowman, and Williams all have a great opportunity to assert themselves as well and show us whether or not we actually have an edge pass rush this year. Mathis was good for the half season we actually had him, but this defense hasn't really had a formidable edge rush since Kikaha and Hudson were balling out in 2014.

My favorite so far are the 5 star athletes from 3 years ago that can't find the field.
But he's an upgrade.
Fuck me sideways.

Yeah, how dare some of us actually want to talk football with a worthy, non-traditional opponent that may not know much about our program. Keep your Oregon shite to yourself. The Ducks get their ass kicking next year in Dallas. Right now the adults are busy talking about the biggest game of the opening weekend.ntxduck said:

This game is all about heat from the edge. If we can do that Stidham will throw at least two picks.
Just haven't proven we can do that against bigger athletes. This is Bennings game. -
You won't get that from me. I try to be reasonable. There's a reason AU brought in a grad transfer from UMASS who will likely start at RT. It's because the 5-star isn't ready.HuskyJW said:My favorite so far are the 5 star athletes from 3 years ago that can't find the field.

It's like asking why does UO wear every color of the rainbow for uniforms. Because we can. Don't like it? GFY -
