Will the Auburn offense make another step in becoming a complete team?

This Saturday night’s matchup against two SEC West one-loss teams in Jordan-Hare Stadium, the Auburn Tigers vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs should answer interesting questions, one of which is whether State is the team that hammered LSU two weeks ago, or instead, the team that was pounded by Georgia between the hedges.

For Auburn, the question is to what extent the 51-point offensive explosion at Mizzou last Saturday night was a reliable indicator, or instead, fool’s gold as a result of a very weak opponent.

Join cohosts Coach John Ray and Doug Dean as they peer into the crystal ball, and offer opinions as to how both coaching staffs may attack strategically.

Special Guest and Auburn coaching great Joe Whitt Discusses Auburn Football

As the Auburn Tigers enter SEC play in week four of the 2017 season, going on the road to face Missouri, it’s a good time to bring on a special guest with a deep knowledge of Auburn football back to the days of Coach Pat Dye, as well as a window into this Auburn team.

Join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean as they welcome Auburn coaching legend, Joe Whitt, who first joined the Auburn football coaching staff under Coach Dye in the early ’80s. Coach Whitt brings a sage, proven understanding of defensive football to the banter, and he even offers insight into what it will take for the Auburn offense to get untracked.

The Good and Ugly of the Clemson loss, and the “Fix” for the AU Offense

The dead horse that was the Auburn offense versus defending national champion Clemson deserves just ONE more severe beating, and Coach John Ray and Doug Dean are up to the task! With expected “cupcake” opponent, Mercer, up this week, the Tiger offensive brain trust is in desperate need of major solutions to the offensive plan, execution, and play calling.

Join Coach Ray and Dean as they tackle the ugly from game two, but also attempt to be constructive that a mere two games in, the staff at least has the opportunity – due in no small part to what appears to be an elite AU defense – to find some fixes, and playmakers, and get on a run of wins. If Auburn is able to run their record to 5-1 before heading to Baton Rouge on October 14th, the outlook would certainly be dramatically different than at present.

In what most consider the biggest game of week two of the 2017 college football season, both Auburn and Clemson will field well-coached, suffocating defenses. If so, which team will find the right offensive strategy and execution to avoid critical mistakes, and be productive enough to claim what would be a pivotal early season victory?

Join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean for the analysis!
