Auburn football faces a massive challenge against Georgia, and Alex Golesh's latest comments about starting center Cole Best raise serious questions about whether the Tigers can fix their struggling offensive line. Following Auburn's disappointing offensive performance against Tennessee, Golesh acknowledged that Best struggled and explained that the coaching staff is focused on understanding why rather than finding a replacement. But what happens when the biggest problem might not have an immediate solution? Auburn's offensive line has struggled with physicality, consistency and costly penalties throughout the season. Now the Tigers must prepare for an even more difficult matchup against Georgia's defensive front. We break down Golesh's comments about Cole Best, why physical development could be a major factor in his struggles and why replacing him isn't necessarily a realistic option at this point in the season. We also examine Auburn's offensive line rotation, including the competition at left tackle between Jack Leyrer and Simmons, Wilson Zierer's development at left guard, Kenneth McManus at right guard and Stanton Ramil's performance at right tackle. But the concerns go beyond individual matchups. Auburn committed five false starts against Tennessee, repeatedly putting its offense behind schedule and making an already difficult situation even worse. Now the Tigers head into an intimidating environment in Athens against a Georgia defense that could expose those same weaknesses. Can Auburn's offensive line eliminate the penalties, protect Byrum Brown and create enough opportunities for the Tigers to compete? And will Golesh and his offensive coaching staff make the necessary adjustments to give this struggling unit a chance? With Auburn preparing for one of its toughest challenges of the season, the battle in the trenches could determine everything. #AuburnFootball #AuburnTigers #GeorgiaFootball Photo Credit: John Reed IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
