What does the Tigers’ offense look like?

Even though he hasn’t been great so far this season, Jarrett Stidham is responsible for keeping Auburn’s offense moving forward. Right now, it looks like he’s the only one that’s able to do something for the Tigers offense.

Through the five games in September, Stidham threw for 963 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. That’s roughly half of the Tigers’ yards gained this season and it’s roughly one-third of the Tigers’ touchdowns in 2018.

Even though Auburn’s passing game hasn’t been all that great, its running game is even worse and that’s not characteristic for a Gus Malzahn offense. JaTarvious Whitlow and Kam Martin have been the main two running backs for Auburn so far and they’ve combined for 579 yards and 5 touchdowns.

MSU’s defense should have a pretty good chance at keeping Auburn’s offense off the field.
