The Rundown, Ep. 604 (9-19-23)

The AuburnSports.com Rundown

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' win over Samford and the state of the team heading into College Station.

Quarterback Payton Thorne was at his very best against Samford. The transfer from Michigan State accounted for more than 400 yards and three touchdowns, but can he replicate that kind of effectiveness against the Southeastern Conference? The guys think it's more about this offensive line and this run game than anything the quarterback can or cannot do.

How about the defense? They've created seven takeaways, which is tied for the league lead, and have been at least solid against both the pass and the run. With nickel Keionte Scott out for the foreseeable future, however, can the Tigers' defense remain this stingy an opportunitistic?

Caleb reviews his road trips to see commits Bryce Cain and Perry Thompson down south, his trip to Parker High School in Birmingham to see targets Jeremiah Beamon, Na'eem Offord and Jourdin Crawford.

The show ends with an ample supply of shoutout and commendations for members of the AuburnSports.com/Bunker community!
