2016 season preview: Auburn Tigers

The upcoming season could be a make-or-break one for fourth-year coach Gus Malzahn. Auburn played for a national championship in his first year, but the Tigers have regressed in each of his last two years.

Can he right the ship? Can he get Auburn moving in the right direction again?

Key question heading into Week 1: It’s pretty obvious at this point. Who will be Auburn’s starting quarterback when the team opens the season against Clemson? Sophomore Sean White had the momentum heading into fall camp, but the longer Malzahn waits to make a decision, the more chances John Franklin III has to win the job.
