LSU Tigers (official thread)


Versatile run game

First assessment of this 2023 Auburn offense starts on the ground. Auburn has the highest rushing rate of any SEC team at over 58 percent on the season and through two SEC games, the Tigers have 84 rushes to just 43 passes. That number also includes sacks, but the point remains, this is an offense that’s extremely comfortable fighting for the hard yards.

With Georgia and Texas A&M as its first two games, Auburn has faced two of the better defensive fronts in the entire country and showed the ability to gash them both for yards. The sack-adjusted yards per carry against Texas A&M and Auburn was 5.74.

Defensive potential

Auburn’s defense has some staining power and had impressive performances in all five games this year. The Tigers rank 23rd in overall defensive EPA and have legitimate talent in the back end with Nehemiah Pritchett, DJ James, and Jaylin Simpson. Carson Beck completed 66 percent of his throws for over 300 yards, but more than half of those yards came from Brock Bowers, who got loose in the second half.

From the two SEC games I watched, Auburn played a high percentage of zone defenses, allowing these talented defensive backs to crash down and make plays on the ball, while opening the door for some windows for opposing quarterbacks to fit passes in if they’re accurate. If not, they get plays like these.
