And so, the 2017 football season has come to a close. The less said about the so-called championship game the better. Let’s instead focus on ourselves. What went right for Auburn this year? What went wrong?

The Good

The man from Madison County was the heart and soul of the team in 2017. Coming into the season, it was thought that Johnson and Kamryn Pettway would share the load at running back. Between injuries and a 1-game suspension, Pettway never really figured into the attack; he managed just 305 yards on 76 carries, and 34 of those carries came against Mercer.
