Summary

Robby Ashford, the Auburn Tigers' quarterback, has been the topic of discussion for many Auburn fans as they speculate on whether he will win the starting quarterback job against Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne. While some believe that he has the potential to do so, many are skeptical. One of the key factors that could determine Ashford's success is his accuracy. Last season, Ashford struggled with accuracy, completing only 49.2% of his passes. While some fans attribute this to the poor performance of the offense as a whole, it is clear that Ashford will need to improve his accuracy if he wants to win the starting job. On today's Locked On Auburn, Zac Blackerby is joined by Mike G of the War Rapport to discuss the Auburn football quarterback battle and also look at where Auburn's defense should rank in the SEC. Mike G points out that consistency in the short to intermediate passing game is crucial in Hugh Freeze's offense. Ashford will need to be able to put the ball where the receiver can get it and protect the football. While Ashford's accuracy may have been affected by a hurt shoulder last season, it is clear that he will need to improve his accuracy moving forward.
