AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Peyton Barber is tantalizingly close to becoming the third different Auburn running back to rush for more than a 1,000 yards in three straight seasons, and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee can't wait for him to do it.
Barber enters Saturday's 3 p.m. game against Idaho with 900 yards, and that puts him on track to follow Tre Mason and Cameron Artis-Payne into Auburn's most recent 1,000-yard club.
Barber would be Gus Malzahn's 13th 1,000-yard rusher in his 10 years as a college head coach or offensive coordinator.
