There's a Strong Argument For Auburn's Best Position Group

Auburn Tigers’ linebacker and running back rooms stand out as clear strengths entering the season, but persistent questions about pass rush and the offensive line could shape their 2024 campaign. Zac Blackerby and Darrell Dapprich break down Auburn’s updated depth chart, spotlighting DeMarcus Riddick, and the versatile running back group featuring Jeremiah Cobb, Omar Mabson, and Bryson Washington. Can new defensive coordinator DJ Durkin’s personnel flexibility unlock Auburn’s front seven potential? With all five starting offensive linemen projected to be new faces, will chemistry issues derail the Tigers’ hopes? The hosts debate the impact of Auburn’s cornerbacks, the pressure on the pass rush, and preview the critical opener against Baylor. Also discussed: the NIL implications of moving the Baylor matchup to Atlanta and why that Week 1 clash holds make-or-break weight for new coach Alex Golesh and athletic director John Cohen.
