Description: BREAKING Auburn football fans this is one of the most important conversations of the offseason. Auburn head coach Alex Golesh finally addressed the biggest questions surrounding this program heading into spring practice and it all starts up front. The offensive line has been the Achilles heel of Auburn football and for the first time in a long time there is real competition real depth and real confidence heading into the spring. Auburn now has 17 scholarship offensive linemen with nearly 20 total bodies competing for five starting spots. That means nothing is handed out and everything must be earned. Golesh made it clear this group is built with experience and physicality. There are immediate contributors mixed with hungry young players who believe they can take a job. That type of environment changes a football team fast. Auburn is no longer hoping to survive in the trenches. Auburn is preparing to impose its will. That mindset directly impacts quarterback Byrum Brown and running back Jeremiah Cobb. If this offensive line gels Auburn becomes a run first physical football team that wears opponents down. Golesh also cleared up the play calling situation. Auburn will have a single play caller on game day and that will be Joel Gordon. However this is still a collaborative offense where ideas are shared and adjustments are constant between drives. That balance is key. This episode breaks down why spring practice finally matters again at Auburn and why this offense looks ready to take a major step forward. Learn more about your ad choices.
