Auburn in it for the long haul this time
It also doesn’t hurt that Auburn has a veteran offensive line. The Tigers lead the SEC in rushing and have only given up seven sacks in the first five games.
Defensively, junior tackle Nick Fairley has emerged as a difference-maker in the middle, and the Tigers didn’t have that last season.
Auburn has still allowed more plays in the passing game than defensive coordinator Ted Roof would like, but his main concern coming into this season was being better against the run.
Heading into the Kentucky game this Saturday, Auburn is second in the SEC in rushing defense, allowing just 92.8 yards per game.
