WARNING: This Auburn Team Isn’t Just Good… They’re NASTY PART 3 I Auburn Football Podcast

Auburn football has sent an early season message, and it’s one that the rest of the SEC better pay attention to. The balance, the attitude, and the physicality on display against Ball State looked like the kind of team built not just to win, but to dominate. From Sylvester Smith flying around the field with highlight tackles, to Cam Coleman showing that rare mix of talent and nastiness, this Auburn squad looks hungrier than ever. Fans are already drawing comparisons to the 2017 season, but I think this version of Auburn football might be even more balanced. The energy is undeniable. Sylvester Smith hit like a box safety should, and even when he went for the knockout instead of wrapping up, his presence was felt on every snap. That’s the Auburn edge that has been missing. Add in Cam Coleman’s quiet but scary on-field attitude, and you can see the makings of a team that believes they’re faster, stronger, and flat-out better than anyone across from them. Of course, the conversation doesn’t stop there. Auburn’s ranking finally arrived under Coach Hugh Freeze, but how do you keep this team hungry and grounded? Two straight losing seasons serve as a reminder that nothing has been accomplished yet. Wins are great, but it’s still about proving it every Saturday. Learn more about your ad choices.
