Some Auburn fans may not agree due to the lack of a run game. To those fans I suggest enjoying the areas of this team which are solid. Currently Auburn has its best WR in .. ever? Linebacker core is the best it’s been in a decade. A four year starter at QB who is exceptional and can be relied upon to deliver a new legacy.

It’s an ebb and and flow. When the offensive line gets better another unit will invariably get worse. I recommend not waiting your entire life only to never see an Auburn team without any weaknesses.

UGA will be a great game. Cheers and frick all of you

So Auburn is a complete team except for the running game?

Yes Auburn is complete. No some Auburn fans would say otherwise and point to the run game. This is wrong

We have some dudes on defense. Im not sure how long it will take them to gel and play solid as a team but we certainly have some play makers. Newkirk is taking over for Brown and will be very good. As wil Hall, the linebackers and our freshman safety.

No experience playing together but they will make some plays.

Running game is a bust the past two years and that needs to be addressed

You left out a key word between complete and team, oh pea.

Rhymes with spit

OP specifically says run game isn’t solid then how are we complete?
We aren’t...yet. RBs need to step up.
FWIW- our four-year starter qb has played one season + one game. He has some room to improve.

I like Hill at guard. I think that cleans up a lot on the line.

I worry about our 2nd string RB. Cook can do a lot of things in monkens offense well, but we still need someone to step up behind white to make plays when plays arent there as a traditional back.

This is silly. You cant be a complete team with our OL at the moment. We may round into shape, but not based on Saturday's performance.

It was week one. Calm down. And we definitely had some flaws.

OL clearly hasn't gelled yet so perhaps they will, or perhaps they'll be a liability all year. Non-existent rush by Gus team standards while allowing far too many rushing yards between the tackles. NOT a complete team. Will it come together? Maybe. But you can't say this just yet. The only teams that appeared "complete" were State and Bama.

As long as Gus coaches them, they will never be a complete team.

There's 3 guys were great no doubt, but none of then have Seth's ability. He can snatch a ball out of the air no matter who is covering him. I would put his skillset closer to Lawyer Tillman than those 3 guys.

**BTW a very underrated receiver on that '04 team was Anthony Mix.

And Seth isn’t nearly as consistent as any of those three.

Plus we’re talking about the whole unit. Not one guy

Bo Nix was our leading rusher. He ain't Cam Newton or Nick Marshall.

Anthony Mix

One of my favorite AU players ever. Got to hang out with him a couple times and he was a really nice guy. But man what a physical freak. He was 6'5" and around 220 in college, but could jump out of the stadium.

As to the OP, this team is solid, but nowhere near a complete team. The OL and RBs are still very much a question. The DL still has some questions but I know we were missing some guys to injury (and Hall for the 2nd half for that targeting call) so maybe they can clean that up when the healthy bodies one back. Definitely gonna need that unit to step up Saturday.

Everywhere else I think we are fine and would put them up against anyone with confidence. But there are certainly some question marks still.

Oline is who needs to step up. Recruiting olinemen the last few years is not very good at all. Hate to say it, but we need some talent up front to make holes for the rbs.
