This week’s Film Room takes a look at what changed for Auburn between its slow first quarter and its strong second and third quarters. The decision-making, explosiveness and balance after the slow start came at a perfect time for an offense that needs all of its available firepower in its last two SEC games against undefeated rivals Georgia and Alabama.

Viewing Auburn’s offensive game in drive groups

Auburn ran 15 plays on its first three offensive drives of the game — none of which netted any points. The Tigers made two key personnel moves and changed up its play-calling after those drives.

Auburn ran 17 plays on its next two drives, then 15 on its next four drives, then 13 on its next two drives before the 13-play, clock-melting touchdown drive in the fourth quarter that killed off the game.

Group 1: 16 plays on three drives
Group 2: 17 plays on two drives
Group 3: 15 plays on four drives
Group 4: 12 plays on two drives
There are four distinct groups of possessions with play numbers in the teens, so let’s view Auburn’s offensive performance through those lenses.
