Auburn football is about to face a brutal stretch of SEC quarterbacks, and it could tell us everything we need to know about the Tigers' defense. Byrum Brown currently ranks eighth in the SEC with 896 passing yards. That's a respectable spot for Auburn's quarterback, but look at some of the names ahead of him. Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss. Kamario Taylor and Mississippi State. Keelon Russell and Alabama. Sam Leavitt and LSU. KJ Jackson and Arkansas. Auburn still has to play all of them. And that doesn't even include Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton, whose passing numbers don't necessarily reflect the challenge Auburn will face. That's why the next several weeks could become a massive test for DJ Durkin's defense. But there's also an encouraging development on Auburn's offense. Chas Nimrod and Keshaun Singleton are tied for fifth in the SEC with 22 receptions each. Nimrod has 240 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while Singleton has 268 yards and a touchdown. Auburn doesn't necessarily have to identify one traditional WR1. It may have two. Their different styles also create problems for defenses, with Singleton frequently operating outside while Nimrod can attack the middle of the field and be utilized with pre-snap motion. Now Alex Golesh has to figure out how to get both involved earlier. Auburn's slow starts have become a major issue. With the quarterbacks coming up on this schedule, the Tigers can't afford to spend entire quarters searching for offense. #AuburnFootball #WarEagle #SEC Photo Credit: John Reed IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
