Sad news: update auburn after quarrelling with the head coach star player has been suspended today…..
When it comes to naming the best college football venue, Auburn fans are biased by placing Jordan-Hare Stadium at the top of their list, and for good reason.
One visit to Auburn on a Saturday in the fall to understand why game days are special on the Plains.
From Tiger Walk and the pregame eagle flight to enjoying a lemonade and celebrating a win at Toomer’s Corner, Auburn is a must-see game-day venture for any college football fan.
Programs such as Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma are part of Auburn’s eight-game home schedule, which gives fans plenty of opportunities to experience a game at Jordan-Hare Stadium this fall.
Tennessee‘s Neyland Stadium, Penn State‘s Beaver Stadium, and LSU‘s Tiger Stadium rank higher than Jordan-Hare Stadium in 247Sports’ rankings.
This Auburn football team is going to be very dependent on how well Jarquez Hunter plays.
Last season for the Tigers, Hunter just barely missed the 1,000-yard mark as he finished the year with 159 carries for 909 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.
The 5’10 running back from Mississippi also caught 18 passes for 118 yards for the Tigers last season.
The 2023 season was the first where we saw Hunter take over as the RB1 for this team as he stepped into the role left by Tank Bigsby.
Hunter had a fine season, but not the elite season many imagined he would have.
Hunter missed the first game of the season, and had he not missed, it would have likely had 1,000 yards rushing.
Hunter had an ok 2023 season, but the offensive struggles as a whole made it to where it feels like he wasn’t as good as many would have imagined.
Hunter is back for his senior season and is ready to explode onto the season in year two as the RB1 for the Auburn Tigers.
PFF put out their top ten grades among returning backs in college football, and Hunter was tenth.
His grade during the 2023 season was a 77.6 which is really good, but I expect him to improve on it this year.
