First Call | 4 BIG Auburn Offensive Questions Before Baylor

Alex Golesh believes Auburn's offense is “light years ahead” of where his previous Year 1 offenses were at this point. That's a massive statement with Baylor right around the corner. Byrum Brown gives Auburn an obvious advantage because he already understands Golesh's system, while the Tigers have additional experience throughout the starting offense. The bigger question isn't whether Auburn's first group understands what it's doing. It's what happens when Auburn has to reach into its depth. On today's First Call, we're breaking down four major questions surrounding the Tigers offense before Week 1. Can Sam Turner get healthy and solidify Auburn's receiver rotation before the Tigers have to rely heavily on their freshmen? How does Auburn distribute touches between Jeremiah Cobb, Omar Mabson, Bryson Washington and a quarterback in Byrum Brown who could be one of the team's biggest rushing threats? And when Auburn reaches the red zone, can this bigger, more physical offense finally finish drives instead of settling for field goals? Fall camp gave us some clues. Baylor gives us the first real answers. #AuburnFootball #AuburnTigers #WarEagle #AlexGolesh #ByrumBrown #SEC #CollegeFootball

Alex Golesh believes Auburn's offense is “light years ahead” of where his previous Year 1 offenses were at this point.

That's a massive statement with Baylor right around the corner.

Byrum Brown gives Auburn an obvious advantage because he already understands Golesh's system, while the Tigers have additional experience throughout the starting offense. The bigger question isn't whether Auburn's first group understands what it's doing.

It's what happens when Auburn has to reach into its depth.

On today's First Call, we're breaking down four major questions surrounding the Tigers offense before Week 1.

Can Sam Turner get healthy and solidify Auburn's receiver rotation before the Tigers have to rely heavily on their freshmen?

How does Auburn distribute touches between Jeremiah Cobb, Omar Mabson, Bryson Washington and a quarterback in Byrum Brown who could be one of the team's biggest rushing threats?

And when Auburn reaches the red zone, can this bigger, more physical offense finally finish drives instead of settling for field goals?

Fall camp gave us some clues.

Baylor gives us the first real answers.
