Who are three names that Bulldogs fans should know on the Auburn sideline?

On offense, RB Jarquez Hunter has the ability to bust the game open. He finally had a long run last week, which I’m assuming will open him up for the rest of the year.

On defense, it’s Eugene Asante. He showed up in the Cal game and had something like 1,000 tackles. He’s been quieter with better competition, but he’s always leading the stat line.

X-factor is Brian Battie, transfer RB from South Florida. He’s a tiny guy that can fly. He returns kicks and is always good for a random long run out of the blue.
