Auburn's Guz Malzahn was not pleased with his team's offensive showing in last week's 34-3 victory over Arkansas, when the Tigers rushed for only 91 yards and managed only 225 yards in total offense.
But the Tigers coach was preaching patience as they began preparations for Saturday's homecoming game against Southern Mississippi.
The No. 10 Tigers (3-1) and unranked Golden Eagles (2-1) will kick off at 4 p.m. ET at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium on the SEC Network.
Malzahn said you have to look at the "big picture, and the reality is that we had an offensive line that had less than 20 starts coming into the season.
