Auburn's Offense Ignites Under New Coach

0:00On April 14th, Auburn's offense showed real fire in their first scrimmage under new head coach Alex Golisch, straight out of USF. Quarterback Byron Brown, who followed Golisch from Tampa, led the charge just like he did last season with over 3,000 passing yards, 28 touchdowns through the air, plus 1,000 rushing yards, and 14 more scores. Golisch called it an a-ha-ha moment for his squad, saying they've hit that point where consistently moving the chains wears down the defense. The temple picked up, and he saw the offensive line and skill players taking advantage, grinding guys out or beating them deep. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Golisch got hired to fix Auburn's sputtering attack from last year under Hugh Freeze, which averaged just 27 points and under 400 yards a game. At USF, his bulls rank third nationally in total offense at nearly 490 yards per game, and fifth in scoring with over 40 points. Later in the scrimmage, Auburn's defense flipped the script, stepping up big on second and long to force four straight stops after the offense, dominated early downs.
