So about that slow start problem on defense... After struggling some in the first four weeks to get off the field on the opening drive, Auburn’s defense forced two 3 & outs Saturday night. When they took the field for a 3rd time the score was already 21-0. We should do that more often.
Auburn’s blowout victory over Mississippi State allowed Kevin Steele to get a lot of different guys snaps Saturday night. I thought a few youngsters shined in their limited work but any time you can empty the bench against an SEC West opponent it was probably a good night.
