Auburn Football’s top offensive players according to Pro Football Focus
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Following Sunday’s official bowl announcements, it is now certain that Auburn Football played its last game of the 2022 season on Nov. 26, when they fell to rival Alabama, 49-27.
It was a wild season, to say the least. The Tigers opened with a 2-0 record before dropping a game to Penn State at Jordan-Hare Stadium in blowout fashion. Auburn bounced back by narrowly escaping Missouri to close the month of September out, but would go on to lose its next five games. The streak resulted in the dismissal of Bryan Harsin, who was canned following Auburn’s 41-27 loss to Arkansas at home.
The Tigers saw a resurgence following Harsin’s firing, as Cadillac Williams led Auburn to a 2-2 record over the final four games of the season as interim head coach, which included an SEC win over Texas A&M.
One of the biggest improvements under Williams was the running game. Two players would reach the 100-yard mark in rushing in each of the final three games, which is the first that’s happened in program history. Jarquez Hunter had the best three-game stretch offensive, rushing for 357 yards over the period.
