Who’s the Backup? Auburn’s QB Depth Concerns | Auburn Football Podcast

from The Auburn Express · host The War Rapport || Mike G • B Wil • Ike Jones • C-Dub

Byrum Brown is the undisputed "guy" for Auburn football, but what happens if he goes down?. In this episode of the Auburn Express, Ike Jones dives deep into the current state of the Tigers' quarterback room and the glaring lack of experience behind their starter. Right now, the room consists of only four players with a combined total of roughly 124 collegiate snaps between the top two backup options. Ike discusses why this lack of depth is a major concern in a physical league like the SEC, especially for a system that relies heavily on a running quarterback. We also look at potential Transfer Portal targets who could provide veteran leadership and "break glass in case of emergency" stability. In this video: Analyzing Tristan Tia’s performance and ball security issues. Why the staff might still be hunting for a veteran "bridge" quarterback. Comparing this year’s room to last year’s depth with Jackson Arnold and Ashton Daniels. War Eagle! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
