As stated before, the Auburn offense has a dynamic duo in the running game and were very dangerous last year. That should be the expectation this year as well.

But how much more dangerous can they get if they find themselves a competent quarterback?

Right now, Jarrett Stidham seems to be in the lead for the starting position. Stidham was highly coveted when coming out of high school, as well as this off-season as several other teams were looking to get him into their program.

Let us also not forget the other guy, Sean White, who was also highly ranked coming out of high school.

While he was not fantastic last year, he seemed to go through a six game stretch where he was in a groove, and the Auburn offense was very hot during that stretch.

While Auburn doesn’t have outstanding talent on the outside, it seems if they can get a quarterback to competently and consistently perform, the offense can do some great things.
