Auburn O-Line Under Fire | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s offensive line faced brutal criticism after surrendering five sacks in their opener against Baylor, with standout tackle Jo Simmons taking full responsibility and calling it “unacceptable.” The unit, already shaky with a new coach, heavy turnover, and four transfers starting the game, struggled to protect QB Byrum Brown. With key starters Jacob Strand and Cole Skinner sidelined, Simmons emphasized the need for chemistry and cohesion — something they’re still building. Good news? Both injured linemen are expected back this weekend vs. Southern Miss, giving Golesh a chance to tighten up the pocket before SEC play hits. The message is clear: fix the line, or Auburn’s offense stays stuck in neutral. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
