Injured Sean White a ‘game-time decision’ for Auburn
Right tackle Cooper feels the cohesiveness of the offensive line will play a major factor in not only the Auburn game, but for the rest of the season if the goal is to get to Atlanta.
Today’s Auburn Tigers vs Ole Miss Rebels college football game has a start time schedule of noon eastern time and airs on TV channel ESPN.
Jeremy Johnson would replace White if he can’t go, which could be good news for an Ole Miss defense that’s second in the conference in interceptions.
His return coincided with a massive performance in the run game for Ole Miss.
On the flip side, it’s been a year to forget (yes, already) for Auburn. That should hopefully change as it’s about a 99.99999% certainty that Carl Lawson will be back for this game. Otherwise this Ole Miss offense will put up massive amounts of numbers. Johnson, who began the season as Heisman candidate, lost his job four games into the season largely because of his six picks in 72 attempts.
“This Auburn is a scary team”, Rebels coach Hugh Freeze said.
After getting back on track last Saturday, No. 19 Ole Miss will hope to keep momentum rolling when it travels to Jordan-Hare Stadium to take on Auburn on Saturday afternoon.
Maybe it was the near touchdown when it looked like Laquon Treadwell kept his balance and broke away from two tacklers on his way to the end zone. They rank dead last in scoring defense, giving up the same 30 they average on offense, and dead last in total defense, allowing opponents to gain 430.6 yards per game.
“I haven’t really talked to him about it, specifically”, Freeze said Monday. Auburn is just 1-6 against the spread this year.
As long as the Rebels avoid multiple turnovers, they should be able to move the ball efficiently enough. The potential return of Lawson would be a huge boost, but he might not be up to full speed yet after being out seven weeks.
On the season, the Auburn Tigers average 182.6 yards in passing and 180.6 yards in rushing.
The motivation to play the Tigers is evident, and a few of the Rebel players-including middle linebacker C.J.
The Rebels are 2-14 in 16 games at Auburn, the last win coming in 2003 when Eli Manning was a senior.
