“Offensively, they're extremely scary,” Auburn coach Hugh Freeze said.
ADAM COLE If Week 1’s win against UMass was a test for Auburn’s run defense, the unit’s final grade certainly wasn’t failure, but it wasn’t a gold star either.
For a unit that was spoken about with some concern in fall camp, the issues that were present for Auburn’s run defense against the Minutemen could rear their head in an uglier form in Week 2. That’s because Auburn’s opponent, the Cal Golden Bears, pulled out a Week 1 victory with one of the most dominant rushing attacks in the nation.

A year ago, Cal had one of the worst rushing offenses in the FBS, averaging the 99th most yards per carry while being one of 10 teams to average fewer than 100 rush yards per contest and one of 11 to score 10 or fewer rushing touchdowns. Through one week of 2023, the Golden Bears couldn’t be further from that identity.
