QUESTIONS FOR BRYAN HARSIN BEFORE AUBURN’S SCRIMMAGE

Auburn is preparing for a scrimmage on Saturday at Jordan-Hare with the
September 3rd season-opener at home against Mercer.
Bryan Harsin will lead his group through simulated football designed to mimic an
actual game’s action. Scrimmages allow for tackling, which for Tiger defenders
means trying to corral star running back Tank Bigsby in the open field.
“I’m glad we’ve got a back like Tank to help me out going into each week in the
SEC. To me, he’s the best back in the country right now,” Auburn linebacker Cam
Riley said. “Being able to go against Tank every day helps me out -- in the
future, games down the road and things like that He’s a very powerful speed
back; he’s got all the attributes you wish a back would have. He’s very powerful
and has very good cuts. He can run routes out of the backfield. He’s very good
at what he does.”

Bigsby is one of the surest things for Harsin as this season approaches.
However, a lot will be determined for the coaching staff over the next few
weeks. Let’s examine where things are for the Tigers.
1. Harsin isn’t ready to name a starting quarterback, at least publicly.
However, Harsin did say the reps wouldn’t continue to split evenly between T.J.
Finley, Zac Calzada, Robby Ashford, and Holden Geriner. Each QB has made some
good throws and a few errant ones during the media viewing sessions this week.
Has either QB shown a bit of separation? Perhaps this scrimmage will offer a bit
of illumination.
2. How’s the offensive line? Auburn brings back lots of experience on the
offensive line. The Tigers want to win by establishing the run, which means the
offensive line must dominate.
“They’re a lot stronger. The O-line is stronger; they’re bigger and moving
better. I think Coach Friend has done a really good job—and I do want to brag on
Coach Friend because he’s had a tough job with when we came in here, that was
the narrative, the offensive line, trying to bring some guys. In and guys come
back.”
3. Who will step up at receiver? Whoever wins the starting QB role will need
some reliable people to throw the ball to consistently. Will Koy Moore become a
deep threat? Can Shedrick Jackson lead a mostly young group of wideouts?
“I see him out there catching — 9 o’clock in the facility at night, catching
balls by himself, doing drills, running routes with Zach Calzada. Just seeing
him out there — if you guys can be around someone and they’re working, if you’re
a competitor and you see a media guy get more attention, get more stories and
stuff, what are you going to say? You’re going to be like, ‘Oh, I need to be on
my game.’ That’s how it is on the team right now,” Bigsby on Moore’s work ethic.
“When one guy sees someone working, they’re fixing to go work. That’s where I
feel like we’ve worked so hard to get to this point.”
4. Is Dylan Brooks ready to claim a spot as an Edge rusher? Derick Hall and Eku
Leota are a dynamic duo at an imperative position for the Tigers. However, they
can’t stay on the field for every play attempting to sack quarterbacks. Brooks
is immensely talented and has been working hard during fall camp. If he’s able
to get on the level of an elite pass rusher, it’ll positively impact the Tigers.
“He’s had some really good pass rush moves that he’s had. He’s learned the
system a little bit more. He’s got to get his pad level down,” assistant coach
Roc Bellantoni said. Got to gethis weight up, got to get a little more physical,
but he still is young, behind the years. But he’s come on the last few days, so
I’m happy with the direction he’s going.”
