Football Preview: Auburn Seeks A Needed Win While Alabama Hosts Missouri For Homecoming

By Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

It was another game and another loss last week for No. 21 Auburn. But coach Gus Malzahn wants nobody to point fingers at members of his squad.

“No one needs to be blaming our players,” he said this week. “Anytime a team is not playing up to potential, that’s a coaching issue. That’s my responsibility. I’ve got to do a better job of preparing our coaches and our players moving forward.”

The Tiger offense has received the brunt of that criticism as it has failed to rush for more than 100 yards for a third straight week. Whether by ground or air, reaching the end zone has proved difficult.

“The frustrating thing for me now is we’re no longer inexperienced. We’re no longer young,” Malzahn said. “We need to start seeing progress.”

The next chance to see progress comes at 11 a.m. Saturday as Tennessee comes calling. The game will be on the SEC Network.
