WARNING: Auburn Might Be Better Than You Think | Byrum Brown Leads Improved Offense | Auburn Football Podcast

Was Auburn football underrated after the Baylor game? Auburn's 43 to 8 win over Southern Miss should at least force another look at some of the assumptions made about this team after Week 1. Auburn didn't play its best football against Baylor, but still found a way to win. Then the Tigers came home and handled an opponent they were supposed to beat. That's exactly what needed to happen. Auburn rushed for more than 300 yards against Southern Miss and showed significant improvement along the offensive line. Nearly every Auburn running back who received meaningful carries averaged more than six yards per attempt. Omar Mabson II had a big night, Bryson Washington got opportunities and Tae Meadows flashed when his number was called. This was the physical rushing attack Auburn talked about building all offseason. The performance also gave Auburn more answers along the offensive line. The interior looked better, the Tigers were more physical at the line of scrimmage and Auburn left the game with more confidence about its ability to run the football than it had after Baylor.
