re: Mathis is going to start

I personally don’t think so. The game hasn’t slowed down for him yet. The offensive line was terrible in the first half and compounded the issue. Either his line or Mathis were not calling protections correctly or straight up missing them. He didn’t know where to go with the ball pre-snap and took too long to get it out when he did have time. That’s the life of a first time starter.

I think they start Bennet to stop Auburn from stacking the box. When the line settles down by drive 3-4 they will probably insert Mathis for a series, He can play but needs the game to slow down and make quicker decisions. That comes with time but we need to set him up to be successful, not throw him to the wolves.
