AUBURN, Ala. -- What's better than having five SEC-caliber offensive linemen in your lineup every week? Having seven or even eight players capable of starting on the offensive line.

That was the problem Gus Malzahn and the Auburn coaching staff faced as they sat down and put together the depth chart for Saturday's season opener against Georgia Southern. In terms of problems, though, that was a good one to have.

"The fact [is] that we've got seven or eight guys that we feel good about," Malzahn said at his Tuesday press conference.
