How bad is Auburn's offensive line?

per The Athletic.....They installed yesterday a Wildcat package with an unbalanced offensive line....they haven't done that since 2016.

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
