Auburn offensive coordinator Joel Gordon says Byrum Brown's decision-making problems are fixable and avoidable, but is Auburn's coaching staff putting its quarterback in a position to succeed? After Brown threw seven interceptions against seven touchdowns through the early portion of the season, Gordon addressed the quarterback's struggles, including turnovers, decision-making and adjusting to the speed of SEC football. But are Auburn's offensive problems really just about Byrum Brown? Brown is averaging 3.16 seconds to throw, placing him among the slowest quarterbacks in college football according to Pro Football Focus data discussed in today's episode. That raises an important question about Auburn's offensive approach. Is Joel Gordon asking Brown to make too many reads instead of simplifying the offense and allowing him to play to his strengths? Auburn continues to struggle with offensive line protection, creating running lanes for Jeremiah Cobb and Omar Mabson, and establishing a consistent offensive identity. While Brown deserves criticism for his mistakes, the coaching staff also has a responsibility to make his job easier. Could quicker reads, designed checkdowns and more opportunities to use Brown's mobility help Auburn find offensive consistency? Plus, we examine Gordon's public comments about the speed of SEC football and whether those concerns should have been addressed differently. Alex Golesh and Auburn need offensive answers, and the responsibility extends beyond their starting quarterback. #AuburnFootball #ByrumBrown #WarEagle Photo Credit: John Reed IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
