There was a game between Auburn and Georgia in week 2, but it was not much of a competition.

Athens continued to be a house of horrors for the Tigers as they have now […]

Optimism and hope still reign for many teams entering the second week of the SEC season. Week two is typically when teams see their biggest leaps in improvement.

It was a strange day at Jordan Hare Stadium. There was no tail gaiting, no TigerWalk, no marching band on the field and only about 18,000 fans attendance. Gus Malzahn also ditched his traditional sweater vest and visor for a throwback Auburn hat and an orange and blue tie to honor the late Pat Dye. […]

Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops has done a really nice job of turning the Wildcats into a competitive football program at a place where basketball is king. Especially in Stoops’ two most recent seasons, Kentucky has exceeded expectations that anyone outside of Lexington would have had for the team. In 2018, the Wildcats managed to […]

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said it’s concerning that players on his football team continue to test positive for COVID-19 less than two weeks before the SEC season kicks off, but there is a silver lining. “When you’ve got guys out, specifically starters out, it gives other guys opportunities,” he said. “So, on the positive end of it, our other […]

Turnover is a big part of college football. Each season, a huge portion of every team leaves via graduation, transfer or for the NFL. However, changes that are often overlooked by fans happen on the coaching staff. It is big news if there is a head coaching change, but position coaches or coordinators moving on […]

It appears that an attempt is underway to drum up an October surprise in Alabama’s U.S. Senate race.

Auburn hosts Kentucky […]

Quarterback is the most important position in team sports. To do the job well, the quarterback must know his assignment, make sure his 10 teammates on the field are lined up correctly, be aware of each offensive player’s task and have a good idea of what the defensive scheme is, too. Once all of that […]

Auburn University on Tuesday updated its COVID-19 dashboard for the seven-day period covering August 31 — September 6.

Last season, Auburn attempted more passes than any season in over a decade.

The Tigers are now likely to throw even more in 2020 now that returning starter Bo Nix has a year of […]

Some of the greatest and most iconic players in Auburn history have been running backs. Under Gus Malzahn, running backs have been vital because of his strong preference to run the football.

There may not be any position group on the football field where continuity means more than on the offensive line. The five individual linemen must operate as one unit to be successful. That is obviously a tall task that requires a lot of work and coordination. New Auburn offensive line coach Jack Bicknell will have […]
