    Auburn Is WASTING Byrum Brown’s Superpower | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn Football has a Byrum Brown problem, but it might not be the problem everyone thinks. Brown has thrown an interception in every Power Four game Auburn has played this season. His decision making has been inconsistent. He has missed throws, held the football too long at times and made mistakes that Auburn simply cannot afford in close SEC games. But there is another side to this conversation. Auburn is not consistently maximizing the thing Brown does best. Run the football. Brown has the size, athleticism and physical running ability to become the centerpiece of Auburn’s rushing attack. His legs have already created some of Auburn’s biggest offensive plays this season. Yet too often his running ability feels like something Auburn uses when the original play breaks down instead of something the offense intentionally builds around. Learn more about your ad choices.

    ALERT: Byrum Brown Struggles Despite Defense Doing Their Job | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn Football has plenty of problems coming out of the loss to Tennessee, but the defense should not be at the top of the list. The biggest questions continue to surround Auburn’s offense. Auburn scored only 14 points against Tennessee, and even that number does not completely explain how much the Tigers struggled. Xavier Atkins created a short field with an interception that helped set up seven points. Without the defense creating that opportunity, Auburn’s offensive production could have looked even worse. That brings the conversation back to coaching, personnel and Byrum Brown. Alex Golesh took responsibility for Auburn’s offensive problems after the game, but five games into the season, the fixes still have not consistently shown up. Auburn has changed pieces along the offensive line. The staff has had months to evaluate the personnel. Yet the Tigers continue to start games without an offensive plan that consistently produces points. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    WARNING: Auburn’s Offense Is Officially a Problem | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn Football has reached the bye week, and there is no avoiding the biggest question surrounding this team anymore: What is wrong with the offense? Five games into the season, Auburn continues to struggle to consistently produce points. For an offense led by Alex Golesh, that makes the situation even more frustrating. The offensive line has struggled, the running game has not consistently produced, Byrum Brown has missed opportunities in the passing game, and the play calling has not always done enough to compensate for Auburn’s weaknesses. Something has to change. The offensive line is clearly part of the problem, but Auburn’s coaching staff knows what this offensive line is at this point. That means the scheme has to adjust. Get the football out quicker. Find ways to neutralize pressure. Get the running backs into space. Put Byrum Brown in situations where his athleticism becomes an advantage instead of constantly asking him to escape trouble. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    WARNING: Auburn Has TWO WEEKS to Fix This | Alex Golesh Bye Week Fixes | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn football has reached the bye week at 3 and 2, and Alex Golesh has two weeks to figure out what has gone wrong with an offense that simply has not been consistent enough through the first five games. The biggest question starts with Auburn’s offensive line. Auburn has struggled to consistently run the football, procedural mistakes have hurt drives, and protection issues have contributed to problems around quarterback Byrum Brown. But this isn't as simple as putting everything on the offensive line. Brown has had opportunities to get the football out faster, make quicker decisions and use his legs to create plays when protection begins to break down. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Auburn Can’t Keep Doing the SAME THING | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn Football has reached the bye week, and now the difficult questions have to be asked. Can this offense actually be fixed? Auburn’s offensive struggles against Tennessee were not isolated to one position. The offensive line has struggled. The running game has not become what was promised during the offseason. The play calling has been questioned. Byrum Brown has turned the football over too often, and Auburn still has not established a clear offensive identity five games into the season. Now the quarterback conversation is getting louder. Nobody knows whether Tristan Teasley is the answer, but if Auburn continues losing and Brown continues struggling, at some point the Tigers may need to find out what they have behind him. Brown brings athleticism and the ability to create when protection breaks down, but Auburn needs more consistency throwing the football and protecting possession. The bigger question might be whether any quarterback can consistently succeed behind this offensive line. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Was That Fourth Down Call Was INEXCUSABLE? | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn Football had fourth and one against Tennessee with a chance to keep a critical drive alive. Byrum Brown had already shown he could hurt Tennessee with his legs, Auburn needed less than a yard, and instead the Tigers pitched the football backward and tried to beat an athletic Tennessee defense to the edge. It failed. That decision has become one of the biggest talking points coming out of Auburn’s 24 to 14 loss at Tennessee, but the problems go much deeper than one fourth down call. Auburn finished with 11 penalties for 94 yards and three turnovers. The Tigers repeatedly put themselves behind the chains with presnap mistakes, struggled to establish an offensive identity and once again needed their defense to play nearly perfect football just to have an opportunity to win. The defense did enough. Auburn held Tennessee to just three conversions on 14 third down attempts and created turnovers. The Tigers limited Tennessee’s passing game and gave the offense opportunities. DeSean Bishop eventually hurt Auburn on the ground, but expecting the defense to completely shut down an SEC opponent while the offense repeatedly gives the football back is not sustainable.

    ALERT: Auburn Football Offense Fails Again | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn Football just let another winnable SEC game get away. The Tigers fell 24 to 14 against Tennessee in a game where Auburn’s defense did enough to give the offense an opportunity to win. Auburn actually outgained Tennessee 345 to 323, but those numbers do not tell the entire story. For a large portion of the game, Auburn’s offense struggled to generate anything consistently. That brings the conversation right back to the same problem: What exactly is Auburn’s offensive identity? The offensive line continues to be a major concern. Auburn struggled with protection, presnap penalties and creating consistent opportunities in the running game. Five games into the season, changes have already been made up front, but the results still are not good enough. Then there is Byrum Brown. Brown was responsible for much of Auburn’s offense against Tennessee, including 107 rushing yards, but the turnovers continue to be a problem. His first interception was simply a bad throw, and Auburn cannot afford those mistakes in games where the margin for error is already incredibly small. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Auburn vs Tennessee Post Game Press Conference

    Auburn Football had its chances in Knoxville, but penalties, missed tackles and an inability to stop Tennessee’s rushing attack ultimately proved too much to overcome in a 24 to 14 loss at Neyland Stadium. Alex Golesh did not run away from responsibility afterward. Auburn struggled badly to find an offensive rhythm during the first half, with seven false starts becoming one of the biggest stories of the game. The Tigers prepared for the crowd noise at Neyland Stadium, but preparation did not translate to execution once the game started. Golesh made it clear that falls on him and his coaching staff. The frustrating part is Auburn actually showed what this offense can look like after halftime. Once the presnap penalties disappeared, Byrum Brown and the offense found a rhythm. Auburn was able to run the football more efficiently, stay ahead of the chains and generate roughly 260 yards in the second half. The problem was that the defense went in the opposite direction. Tennessee turned to George MacIntyre at quarterback and leaned heavily on its running game. Auburn struggled with missed tackles, gap integrity and getting enough push up front. A defense that created negative plays and turnovers early suddenly could not consistently get Tennessee behind the chains. Golesh also explained the critical fourth and one decision, including why Auburn elected to pitch the football outside instead of attacking Tennessee inside. Jeremiah Cobb’s physical condition also became a factor. Cobb attempted to fight through a back issue before Auburn turned to Omar Mabson II, whom Golesh praised for his toughness, running and pass protection. Now Auburn gets a bye week before another hostile road environment against Georgia. Can Auburn clean up the penalties, tackling and execution before Athens? Learn more about your ad choices.
