After slow starts in the past two home games, Bruce Pearl and the Auburn basketball team were determined to start fast. The Tigers got their fast start and never let up, on their way to a 95-70 victory over the LSU Tigers. Against Ole Miss and Georgia, Auburn's rough starts sent them into huge first half deficits. Those deficits forced Auburn to play near-perfect second halves to escape with victories. And while Bruce Pearl was thrilled with both comeback victories, he knew A

Bruce Pearl knows everyone hasn't hopped on the bandwagon yet. He's not entirely sure why, but he knows it. After a 71-93 victory of the Missouri Tigers, Auburn's 18th of the year and sixth in seven conference games, Pearl had just one question: "What do we have to do to prove that we're for real?"

Barrett was a consensus four star running back in the 2017 signing class, hailing from Tampa Catholic

When it comes to replacing the reigning SEC Offensive Player of the Year, there's no easy choice. That decision is made even more difficult when the primary back-up, a former All-SEC running back in his own right, is also headed to the NFL. But that is the unenviable task that Gus Malzahn and his staff have ahead of them as they enter the offseason. Over the next five days, we'll look at options to fill the void at running back. The first choice, and maybe the most obvious ch

Just one day after Auburn's disappointing loss to UCF in the Peach Bowl, Auburn's most productive offensive player declared for the 2018 NFL Draft. Kerryon Johnson, the SEC's offensive player of the year, stated his intention to leave Auburn one year early and enter the draft. Auburn's 2017 season was something of a breakout role for Johnson. After Kam Pettway burst onto the scene in 2016, injuries and suspensions forced Pettway to the bench and thrust Johnson into the limeli
