Summary

Auburn faces a pivotal crossroads as DJ Durkin steps in as interim head coach, sparking speculation about his future at the helm. Can Auburn’s relentless defense, led by breakout stars Xavier Atkins and Jay Crawford, stop Vanderbilt’s explosive Diego Pavia and keep playoff hopes alive?

Zac Blackerby and Corey Burton break down Auburn’s struggles, Vanderbilt’s playoff push, and the impact of recent coaching changes on SEC football. Key topics include Auburn’s defensive consistency, Vanderbilt’s game-changing offensive tempo, and predictions for the low-scoring matchup.
