Auburn looks to capitalize on open date before Texas A&M road trip

With an impressive blowout road win over the floundering Arkansas Razorbacks, Gus Malzahn’s Auburn Tigers have run their midseason record to 6-2, and have bought some desperately needed open date rest and healing to ready for the brutal November schedule run.

The remaining games include a road trip to College Station on November 4th, and Amen Corner with top ranked Georgia and Alabama, leaving no question in December as to the state of the Auburn football program.

Join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean for the analysis, and the chances of the Tigers getting starters healed up, and pistons firing in harmony to make some November noise.

Auburn looks to pick up the pieces from devastating loss at LSU

There are losses teams in the brutal SEC experience most years, and then, Oh brother, then there are losses which on the surface at least, appeared entirely avoidable with smarter coaching moves in the second half. Such was the case in Gus Malzahn’s second loss of the 2017 season at Death Valley in Baton Rouge, the first SEC loss of the season for Auburn.

Join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean as they analyze, with unapologetic candor, what appeared to go awry in the game, and where Gus Malzahn’s offense most needs to focus attention as they hit the road again to Fayetteville, Arkansas to take on the struggling 2-4 Hogs.

Are the Auburn Tigers man enough to beat LSU in Death Valley?

The 5-1 and 10th ranked Auburn Tigers certainly appear to have hit their stride through the midpoint of the season, as the once anemic offense has lit up the scoreboard for over 40 points the last two games, while the defense continues to play at a very high level (notwithstanding 4th quarter lapses against Ole Miss by Auburn backups).

But how real is the progress, given the questionable level of competition from Mizzou, to Mississippi State, and this past weekend, a faltering Ole Miss team?

Baton Rouge has a way of sorting out that uncertainty, as evidenced by the Auburn Tigers not having left victorious in Death Valley since 1999. So join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean as they discuss the question at hand in this podcast, are the Auburn Tigers man enough to go win in Red Stick?

Auburn looks to keep momentum going against Ole Miss

With the arrival of the October phase of the 2017 Auburn football schedule, the Tigers find themselves in a relatively enviable position at 4-1, with the sole loss to the # 2 ranked Clemson Tigers. As such, the Tigers do indeed control their own destiny on all fronts, but what work is most urgently required in this week sandwiched between the two Mississippi SEC West teams to give Malzahn’s team a legit shot to contend late into November?

Join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean for the analysis, including a scouting report on this Ole Miss team which is coming off a 66-3 drubbing by Alabama.
