Through two games, Auburn’s O-line has shown signs of growth, but questions remain after Ball State managed to sack Arnold multiple times.

Auburn balanced offense efficiency was the entire story in this one. The Tigers quietly hammered out 224 yards on the ground at 6.6 yards per carry while keeping the passing game right alongside it with a near 50–50 split.
