Saturday's game against Penn State 'could be the perfect scenario for Auburn to shore up its quarterback situation against a quality opponent before the SEC schedule begins,' columnist JoeGoodmanJr writes.
Auburn’s offense in weeks one and two leaves us with concerns, but in college football every week is a new chance to make things right. From that perspective, Auburn at least knows where it is lacking and, theoretically, can correct the problems. When it comes to the passing game, there are many.
If you turned the TV off after the frightening first quarter, then you missed some encouraging signs. Finley went 1-of-5 passing to begin the game, but then finished 12 of 15 for 155 yards. Here’s the problem, though. Finley only completed one pass on third down the entire game, and it was his final throw of the game. It’s probably time to scrap the two-quarterback system and get serious about fixing the position, but Ashford’s ability as a runner makes it hard to keep him off the field.
After Penn State, Missouri comes to Auburn in Week 4 for a matchup between the SEC’s two worst passing offenses. Mizzou lost to Kansas State 40-12 in Week 2, and Mighty Mo has thrown five interceptions through two games. In the end, it’s all on Harsin. This is his fault, and he’s going to take the fall if he can’t fix it. Harsin fired his first offensive coordinator, Mike Bobo, after the 2021 season, and then watched three-year starting quarterback Bo Nix transfer to Oregon. Harsin’s next coordinator, Austin Davis, resigned after six weeks. Harsin then promoted his receivers coach, Eric Kiesau, to the coordinator position.“I’ve challenged our offense and I’ve challenged our team,” Harsin said.
