Auburn football’s pass protection faces another major challenge against Vanderbilt after the Tigers allowed seven sacks last week. Miles Capers has been one of the biggest Vanderbilt defenders to watch entering this matchup. The explosive No. 29 has a sack, three quarterback hits and three hurries, but he isn't the only Commodore capable of creating problems for Auburn. Nick Rinaldi may be an even bigger concern. Rinaldi has generated 10 total pressures and four sacks this season, giving Vanderbilt another weapon it can move around the defense. That could test Auburn's offensive tackles, interior offensive line and even its running backs in pass protection. Alex Golesh has made it clear Auburn cannot continue allowing seven sacks per game while the Tigers are still searching for their best five offensive linemen. But fixing the problem goes beyond blocking. Does Auburn use quicker passing concepts? Keep additional protection around Byrum Brown? Or trust the offensive line to hold up longer? Vanderbilt's numbers also come with a legitimate question about competition after facing Austin Peay, Delaware and NC State. We’re about to find out whether Vanderbilt's pass rush is legitimate and whether Auburn has fixed its biggest offensive concern. #AuburnFootball #WarEagle #Vanderbilt Photo Credit: Jake Crandall IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
