Yes, welcome on into Locked-on Auburn, your daily Auburn Tigers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Blackerbie.

And thank you so much for making Locked on, your first listen every single day.

This will typically be the morning after edition of the show as we dapp it up with

the Daryl Daprich Montgomery Radio Legends still partying out in Waco, which is great.

We'll talk about wide receivers and what exactly they need to do to be a larger part

are bit on social media and a lot of people that are breaking down the games and trying to

analyze what albair didn't do from an offensive standpoint instead of focusing on what they did
