Heading into 2020, Auburn’s wide receivers were thought to be a strength.
Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz, Eli Stove. That trio was one of the best groups on paper that we’ve seen in recent years. The fact that they had all spent plenty of time with Bo Nix should’ve paid off and meant that the passing game took a huge step forward in 2020.
That didn’t really happen, and whose fault that is remains a question that probably has multiple answers. Nix’s lack of development. A step backward for the offensive line. Gus Malzahn’s stagnation as an offensive-minded strategist.
