Auburn football has reached a pivotal week of the season. After the loss to Florida exposed problems on both sides of the football, Auburn now has to figure out what can actually be fixed before Vanderbilt comes to Jordan Hare Stadium. Offensively, everything starts with Byrum Brown and the offensive line. Brown was sacked seven times against Florida, and several of those sacks weren't simply the...

Auburn football has problems on offense, but almost everything keeps coming back to one position group: the offensive line. Auburn has to find five guys who can consistently create movement in the running game and give Byrum Brown enough time to operate. If that means giving younger offensive linemen opportunities, then it might be time to find out what those players can do. The current formula is...

Auburn football survived some of these problems against Baylor. Against Florida, those same problems became much harder to overcome. Start with Byrum Brown. Brown's athletic ability is obvious. He can escape the pocket and suddenly rip off a 20 or 30 yard run. That's what makes it so frustrating when he sits in the pocket on another play, holds the football and takes a sack. At this point, it's fa...

Auburn football said it wanted to run the football. Now it's time to actually show that commitment. After the loss to Florida, one of the biggest questions facing Alex Golesh and this Auburn offense is why Jeremiah Cobb isn't getting more opportunities.

Auburn football has a Byrum Brown consistency problem, but the bigger question might be what Auburn is asking its quarterback to do in the first place. Brown has shown exactly why Auburn wanted him. He's a tremendous athlete who can create plays that most quarterbacks simply can't make.

Auburn football has more questions than answers after the loss to Florida, and some of the biggest questions are about how this offense is being called.

Auburn football is three games into the season, and some of the same concerns that appeared early are becoming much harder to ignore.

Auburn football has plenty to fix after losing to Florida, but one number explains a massive part of what went wrong: 24 missed tackles. That is simply not winning football. Auburn entered this game with a defense that had earned the benefit of the doubt. Even during years when the offense struggled, the Tigers could usually count on the defense to keep games manageable and give Auburn an opportun...

Auburn football is entering SEC play, and the matchup with the Florida Gators already feels like one of the biggest games of the season.
