AUBURN, Ala. - Kamryn Pettway heard the talk. How Auburn’s backfield could struggle in 2016 to replace its three leading rushers from the previous season.

Where some saw a problem, Pettway saw an opportunity.

“I was thinking it’s my time to show everybody what I can do,” Pettway said. “I hadn’t proven myself up until that point. I felt like it was my time, and I was ready for it.”

The SEC’s top rusher a year ago, Pettway averaged 122.4 yards per game. Seven 100-yard games. The first Auburn back since Bo Jackson in 1985 to have four consecutive 150-yard games.
