Exit Survey: Parting thoughts on Auburn's season-opening win over Baylor
Summary
-
Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown threw three interceptions and took six sacks against Baylor while struggling to push the ball downfield, although he improved late and delivered the final touchdown drive.
-
Auburn's interior offensive line allowed substantial penetration and 81% of the team's rushing yards came after contact, contrasting with more positive tackle reviews and Stanton Ramil's reported No. 2 PFF grade among Week 1 right tackles.
-
Auburn receiver Keshaun Singleton showed established timing with Brown on comeback routes and repeatedly fought for extra yards, leading both reviewers to identify him as a dependable target despite the offense failing to finish several productive drives.
-
Auburn edge defender Da'Shawn Womack played little in the second half because of injury after a strong start, adding context to the reviewers' concern about limited pressure against Baylor's quick passing game without establishing his next-game availability.
-
Auburn used a reverse to Bryce Cain to exploit a Baylor defense concentrated inside against the run and set up its first touchdown, finding an offensive role for his speed after he moved between positions during camp.
