ALERT: Byrum Brown Is Holding the Ball TOO LONG | Auburn Podcast

Auburn football survived some of these problems against Baylor. Against Florida, those same problems became much harder to overcome. Start with Byrum Brown. Brown's athletic ability is obvious. He can escape the pocket and suddenly rip off a 20 or 30 yard run. That's what makes it so frustrating when he sits in the pocket on another play, holds the football and takes a sack. At this point, it's fair to ask why. Is Brown taking too long to move through his progressions? Is he waiting for receivers to come open instead of anticipating throws? Does he need to recognize earlier when nothing is available and simply use his legs? Those are questions the film has to answer. The offensive line certainly deserves its share of criticism. Against Florida, there were situations where the Gators showed pressure, overloaded one side and Auburn still didn't appear to have an answer. But Auburn has to help the offensive line too.
