SPEAKER_10 (2:27)

All aboard the AM Departure from Platform 334, The Auburn Express.

We're running on time and expecting no hiccups. Doing the work, hard work, to bring you the best Auburn sports content you'll find anywhere.

Mike G (3:09)

So there's a lot of work, there's a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball in this one. There's a lot of work to do.

Ike Jones (3:15)

We're gonna get back to the defense. Let me ask you offensively. It seemed to me that the coach shouldn't, even though Auburn wants to be a team that runs the football, it seems as though, and we saw this happen last week against Southern Miss, they tried to establish the passing attack with Byrum Brown in the first half. It's like they wanted to start out throwing the ball. And obviously, against Southern Miss, you could do that. And it just seemed like Auburn never really tried to get things going in the running game until it was too late.

Yeah, because they just came out throwing a lot at times, and it was just, it was interesting to me what they were doing, especially the first drive, first couple of drives when it went three and out. Like they were really trying to do some things in the passing game.

Mike G (4:09)

In the past, Ceaser, we've been able to separate, I think, how the Auburn's offensive lines perform in pass pro versus run blocking. Meaning, they've been below average at pass protection, but still able to run block well enough for the backs to get off. They seem to be struggling with both now. That's super concerning.

It's super concerning that they seem to be struggling on both parts of that. There's not a discipline alone in this offensive line that I feel like they're consistent with. And as a result, and Golesh used this term in the post game, which I completely agree with, in response to my question about the run game, he said, there's no rhythm to our offense.

SPEAKER_7 (4:56)

Well, there is no rhythm to it.

Mike G (4:59)

It's hard to do it. Yeah. I mean, you can drop back and Byrum will make a crazy play here or there well enough. He's good enough of a playmaker to do what he did to make that look close on the scoreboard.

But you didn't win. And you didn't win because you didn't find any sort of rhythm to your offense until the it off!
