Locked On Auburn Hit - Quick Takes on Auburn Tigers Football & Basketball

Auburn vs. Florida Could Be DECIDED in the Trenches! | DJ Durkin’s Biggest Test

Episode Summary

Could one matchup decide Auburn vs. Florida? Zach Blackerby believes the battle between Auburn’s interior offensive line and Florida’s interior defensive line could determine what happens Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. On today’s Auburn HIT, Zach breaks down why the Tigers’ offensive line is such a major storyline heading into the Florida game. He explains why he wants to see freshman Wilson Zierer get an opportunity at guard, what Zierer showed against Southern Miss, and why Auburn needs him to play beyond his years. Then, it’s a fascinating coordinator matchup: Auburn defensive coordinator DJ Durkin vs. Florida offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner. Florida’s offense uses plenty of pre-snap movement, but Zach believes the priority for Auburn is slowing down running back Jayden Ball. Can Durkin’s defense contain Florida’s rushing attack and put the pressure on young quarterback Aaron Filo in his first SEC road start? Which matchup concerns you more: Auburn’s interior offensive line or its defense against Florida’s running game? Let us know in the comments!
