Description: Auburn Tigers fans brace for a season defined by uncertainty in the trenches—will the revamped offensive line and emerging pass rush deliver when it matters most? Zac Blackerby and Darrell Dapprich offer sharp analysis of Auburn’s biggest roster concerns, from questions around Jared Smith’s development at edge and the creative deployment of playmakers like Demarcus Riddick to ignite the pass rush.The conversation spotlights the offensive line overhaul, debating whether depth and transfer portal additions like Jo Simmons and Stanton Ramil can quickly form a cohesive, high-performing unit under a new scheme. The hosts also weigh in on backup quarterback intrigue, the promise of Auburn’s young, unproven receivers, and the logistics of a crowded running back room.Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
