There’s a reason this Auburn team went 6-6 last season. The offense was inconsistent. The defense struggled for most of the year. And as we head into 2016, there’s no proof that it will get better. The staff might have more options at quarterback, but nobody has proven they can handle the job. They might have signed a stellar wide receiver class, but the position will still be full of youth and inexperience in the fall.
And though the defense will benefit from the return of Carl Lawson, the unit will be led by its third defensive coordinator in as many years.
