Calling it now - Auburn's red zone offense will finish top three in the SEC this season. Everyone is focused on the NFL Draft and who we're losing, but the real story this spring is the schematic overhaul happening inside the 20. Last year they ranked 78th nationally in red zone touchdown percentage. That's unacceptable.
The staff has been hammering situational football all spring, and you can see it. The play-calling gets more creative, the execution is sharper. They're not just lining up and trying to overpower people anymore. They're using motion, misdirection, and exploiting matchups. When you convert those opportunities into sevens instead of threes, it changes entire games.
Look at the teams that win championships. They score touchdowns in the red zone. Period. With the physical identity this team is building, there's no excuse not to dominate in tight spaces. This is the year they fix it, and it will be the difference in at least two SEC wins. The data will show a massive jump by October.
