What Auburn learned in its bye week By NATHAN KING Sports Editor

TIGERS LOOKING TO BREAK THE CURSE The home team has never claimed a victory in the series between the Aggies and Tigers since Texas A&M entered the SEC in 2012, and there hasn’t been a great explanation as to why. “I don’t,” Auburn receiver Ryan Davis said when asked if he knows why the home team has played so poorly. “But we’re looking forward to changing that. Obviously, that’s not something you want to do is lose at home, so hopefully we can do everything in our power to change that, as well.” On the front of Texas A&M scouting, Davis added that he was able to watch the Aggies over the weekend in their road loss to Mississippi State. He’s still impressed. TWO OFFENSIVE STARTERS DAY-TO-DAY With the No. 5 rush defense in the nation, Texas A&M may be able to enjoy increased success in run-stuffing if Auburn’s leading rusher can’t go. JaTarvious “Boobee” Whitlow (leg, shoulder) didn’t practice during the bye week, according to Gus Malzahn. Whitlow, who boasts a team-high 626 yards on the ground this year, pulled up on his right leg after a long run two weekends ago against Ole Miss. Malzahn called Whitlow day-to-day. AUBURN DID SOME SOUL SEARCHING According to players, the team spent the first part of their bye week on self-scouting, analyzing film of themselves like they would with an upcoming opponent. They came to a simple conclusion after re-evaluat-

ing their season: they shouldn’t be 5-3. “Basically I just learned that we’re really, really close to being undefeated,” Davis said. “We just looked back at a couple plays, a couple miscues and just, execution-wise, we could be in a better place than we are now. It was all kind of self-inflicted as you could see from the film.” DESHAUN DAVIS LOVES JIMBO FISHER Since his high school days, Deshaun Davis has been enamored with the offensive smarts of Texas A&M’s new head man. “I love his knowledge of football,” Davis said. “It will be kinda fun to play against him and try to use my mind against his on the field... if we can keep everything in front of us, we’re going to be OK.” Most notably, Davis has been impressed with Aggies tight end Jace Sternberger, who ranks second nationally in receiving yards by a tight end. “When it comes to tight ends, it’s really on linebacker play,” Davis said. “We challenge ourselves to limit his catches. We’ve been doing a lot of studying film. We know (Sternberger is) one of Kellen Mond’s favorite receivers, so we have our work cut out for us.” JARRETT STIDHAM LOVES TEXAS The joke was born in last season’s edition of the rivalry. During Auburn’s 42-27 win over the Aggies in College Station, ESPN commentators repeatedly brought up Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham’s connections to the Lone Star State. From then on, any sentence stringing together the words “Jarrett Stidham” and “Texas” was viewed as nothing more than a quip. “Any Texas team, I love it,” Stidham said. “I didn’t go out there, obviously, out of high school... I don’t know. I just like playing Texas A&M.”

auburn must defy trends to earn bowl eligibility By JAKE WRIGHT Sports Writer

To take down the Aggies at home, Auburn will look to defy trends to earn bowl eligibility. Auburn is 5-3 on the season, but only 2-3 in the SEC, while Texas A&M is also 5-3 overall while going 3-2 in the SEC. In advance of road meetings at Georgia and Alabama, gaining traction inside Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday will provide a boost toward the end of the season. Auburn has been unable to run the ball effectively for most of the season, and that will be a challenge against Texas A&M. The Tigers have topped 150 rushing yards only once against a FBS opponent this season. With 269 yards on the ground against Ole Miss, Auburn’s rushing game could have found its groove. The Aggies have one of the best rush defenses in the nation, allowing just 86 rushing yards per game. One reason for that output is 320-pound nose tackle Daylon Mack, who has been a force in the middle of the defense. Another is the pro-

style offense ran by Jimbo Fisher, which means the Aggies defense is on the field a lot less than when they ran a faster paced spread system under Kevin Sumlin. For Auburn, it doesn’t help their outlook on offense that running back JaTarvious Whitlow did not practice during Auburn’s bye week. For Auburn to be successful on offense, Jarrett Stidham will need to hit on throws over the middle of the field and in the intermediate passing game to set up the run. If Auburn builds on this after the off-week, then the Tiger receivers will have a better chance to catch Aggie defenders off-balanced. Auburn cannot afford to rely on predictable inside zone plays between the tackles. With a beat-up running back in Whitlow, and Kam Martin having not shown the ability to flourish between the tackles, Auburn must get the ball to the perimeter in addition to an intermediate passing game. Auburn has been impressive on defense for most of the season, allowing16.5 points and 348 yards per game. Aggie quarterback Kellen Mond played well in a close effort against

Clemson at the beginning of the season, but he has thrown all five of his interceptions in the last five games. Mond will look to take advantage of an Auburn defense that allows an average of 222.5 yards through the air per game. Auburn must generate a pass rush and force the Aggies to stay behind the chains. The Aggies will look to dictate tempo, and if they can grind out the clock and keep Auburn’s defense on the field, then the defense will get tired as the game wears on. Ranking third in the nation for time of possession, the Aggies have possessed the ball for over an average of 35 minutes per game. To preserve the time of possession, Mond will be asked to produce in play action with Fisher looking to keep his quarterback in open space. The winner of this game will be decided by if Auburn can run the ball and if its defense can get off the field. If A&M controls the ball and Auburn isn’t creative on offense to get the ball to playmakers, then the Tigers will face a hole entering the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

What makes a home in National Village so special is the sum of the parts of National Village. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National, the pool, the lake, the hiking trails, the dining, the friendship, and of course Auburn Football. Perhaps the saying is true, the whole is equal to the sum of its parts.

auburn freshmen providing boost amid final stretch

By TYLER ROUSH Assistant Sports Editor

With a bye week to soak in a 31-16 road win over Ole Miss, Auburn’s young corps is realizing its collective potential. Combining for 57 percent of Auburn’s offensive yards on the season, the freshman class provided a midseason spark with 368 combined yards against the Rebels. In addition, 15 of the Tigers’ 25 offensive touchdowns have come from freshmen. Following three losses on the season, including one at home to Tennessee, the nicknamed youth of Auburn’s roster has grown considerably closer. “If you see one freshman, you’re probably seeing all of the freshmen,” said running back Shaun Shivers. Shivers’ 45 yards on 10 carries in Oxford

trailed fellow freshman JaTarvious Whitlow’s career-high 170 yards. Seth Williams led with 83 yards by air on two receptions, while Anthony Schwartz had 16 yards receiving and rushing. Defensively, safety Jamien Sherwood provided life with a sack on Rebel quarterback Jordan Ta’amu and an earlier interception against Alabama State. Opposite Sherwood, safety Smoke Monday has two sacks on the season, including one in Auburn’s season-opening win over then-No. 6 Washington. Filling the void in the defensive backfield, both Sherwood and Monday said their competitive drives are complemented by the pair working together. “We get each other going,” Monday said. Despite the freshman class playing in just eight games, head coach Gus Malzahn said the group has lost touch with its freshman mon-

iker. “This is the most freshmen we’ve had make an impact since I have been here,” Malzahn said. “They’re not just playing; they’re starting to make plays on a consistent basis.” Schwartz has managed to provide speed both through the air and on the ground with 13 carries for 138 yards and 12 catches for 262 yards. Whitlow leads the team in rushing with 100 carries for 626 yards, adding on nine catches for 69 yards. Backing up Whitlow, Shivers has added 212 rushing yards on 37 carries. Combined, the trio of Whitlow, Shivers and Schwartz average 6.5 rushing yards per carry. In addition to Shivers’ contributions in the backfield, Malzahn said the trio of Shivers, Williams and Schwartz has opened up the offensive playbook. “I think what it does right now is it gives our

coaches in all three phases a chance to get the best plan moving forward — whoever touches the ball and who plays,” Malzahn said. With a mindset of providing whatever was asked of them, Schwartz said the freshman class came in with a collectively strong work ethic. “We just came in here and got right to work,” Schwartz said. “We always work all week and prepare as starters. We do whatever the coaches want us to do and so we have a good role on the team.” With bowl eligiblity on the line, Auburn’s freshmen could provide a needed boost. “They’re really good players,” Shivers said of his fellow freshmen. “We watched them like, yeah, this is going to be a good group. Everybody that came in as freshmen are pretty talented. We’re just bringing an impact to the program.”

KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH By ZACH TANTILLO Sports Reporter

With bowl eligibility on the line, Auburn returns to Jordan-Hare Stadium to take on Texas A&M. Neither team has won its home matchup in the previous six meetings as both coaches hope to get their respective teams back on track. Auburn returns from a bye week following a win over Ole Miss in Oxford, whle the Aggies continue their road trip after a loss to Missisippi State. Here are some players to watch and keys to victory for each teamin advance of Saturday:

JATARVIOUS WHITLOW (AU) Whitlow has placed himself as the No. 1 running back on the roster, but injuries have kept him from reaching his full potential. The redshirt freshman is averaging 6.26 yards per rush this season but is getting less than 13 carries a game. Whitlow also currently leads the team in rushing with 626 yards and four touchdowns on 100 carries. Through the air, Whitlow has added 69 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions. With the extra week of rest, it is hoped that Whitlow will be able to go against Texas A&M as he will play a vital part if Auburn is able to get the win.

THE PLAYERS:

KELLEN MOND (A&M) The Tigers had Mond’s number in last season’s match up with him struggling to get anything going running or through the air. Mond was yanked from the game in the second quarter after he threw 11 times for only 16 yards. Under new leadership, Mond has put up solid numbers thus far but has shown tendencies to fall back into his inconsistent ways. In arguably his three biggest matchups this season, he has completed under 53 percent of his passes combined. Against an Auburn defensive line that is constantly getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks, it will be interesting to see if Mond can stay poised in the pocket and deliver accurate passes.

KINGSLEY KEKE (A&M) Keke has been a menace in opposing backfields this season. He has made his impact know whether it comes against the run or getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The senior defensive lineman has totaled 17 tackles for loss and 10 sacks in his career with seven tackles for loss and five sacks coming from this season alone.

JOSHUA FISHER/ PHOTOGRAPHER

JaTarvious Whitlow (28) runs the ball during Auburn football vs. Ole Miss on Oct. 20, 2018, in Oxford, Miss.

NICK COE (AU) Coe has statistically been one of the SEC’s best defensive lineman this year. He currently ranks second in tackles for loss and fifth in sacks. Against Ole Miss, Coe dominated and sacked a mobile Jordan Ta’amu three times. After some time to rest, Coe is poised to have another outstanding game against Mond.

Mack has been an unexpected star this season, stepping into the starting role after Micheal Clemons after he went down with a foot injury. At 6-foot-1, 335 pounds, Mack has been a hole-clogging, immovable object all season. The matchup between him and Nick Brahms will be one of the major indicators of who comes out on top Saturday.

ANDERS CARLSON (AU) Connecting on just 11 of his 21 attempts on the season, Carlson has yet to find confidence when lining up for three. Finding his groove from long distance could provide help for an Auburn offense looking to get points up.
