Baylor vs Auburn's Bryson Washington | Auburn Tigers Football News

Baylor’s season opener against Auburn just got a whole lot more intense — and personal — with the return of former star running back Bryson Washington, now suiting up for the Tigers. After racking up over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns in his last two seasons at Baylor, Washington transferred out in January and immediately found a home in Auburn’s backfield, joining fellow threat Jeremiah Cobb. The duo could split carries, turning Auburn’s run game into a nightmare for defenses. But Washington’s real weapon? His pass-catching ability — he’s got over 20 receptions in each of his last two seasons, while Cobb has only 24 catches total. Auburn’s new coach ran an offense that thrived on RBs catching passes, so Washington’s versatility is primed to explode. Former Baylor coach calls him “a runner who falls forward and is just plain hard to stop,” making this matchup not just physical, but emotionally charged. Baylor knows exactly what they’re facing — and it’s going to be one for the books. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
