ALERT: How Much Better Can Auburn Get? | This Could Be A Trap Game For Auburn | Auburn Podcast

Auburn football escaped Week 1 with a 17 to 16 win over Baylor, but now the real question begins: how much better can the Tigers get?

Auburn got the result it needed in the season opener, but the performance also exposed several areas that Alex Golesh and his staff have to clean up before SEC play arrives. Byrum Brown completed 74 percent of his passes against Baylor, but three interceptions put Auburn in difficult situations throughout the afternoon. The Tigers also struggled to consistently establish the running game and protect Brown up front.

In this edition of Auburn Express, the conversation breaks down what Auburn learned from the Baylor win, what needs to change offensively and why Brown’s development could determine just how high the ceiling is for this Auburn team. Can the offensive line take a significant step forward? Can Auburn create more explosive plays? And can Brown protect the football while becoming the dual threat quarterback Auburn expected?
