Run The Damn Ball: Auburn Must Ground and Pound in 2025 | Advanced SEC Rushing Breakdown I Auburn Football Podcast

Auburn’s 2025 football season hinges on one key strategy: Run. The. Damn. Ball. In this deep dive from the Auburn Express powered by The War Rapport, hosts break down why establishing a dominant rushing attack is not just tradition — it’s Auburn’s blueprint for winning in the SEC. 🔥 Auburn averaged 5.42 yards per carry on 3rd-and-short — yet failed to lean into their ground game consistently. With Jarquez Hunter gone, the show examines why Damari Alston, Jeremiah Cobb, and Alvin Henderson are poised to revive Auburn’s power-run identity. 🏈 The discussion highlights historical rushing benchmarks, such as Auburn's 3,500-yard rushing season in 2016, and what must be replicated to compete in the new SEC landscape. Advanced metrics, including carry distribution and yards per attempt, expose play-calling inconsistencies and missed opportunities. 📊 Plus, what does a revamped WR room — featuring Cam Coleman, Perry Thompson, and Malcolm Simmons — mean for balance and explosiveness in 2025? With Jackson Arnold leading the offense, a 400-yard-per-game target is now within reach. 🎯 SPONSORSVibe Vault Barbers 3462 Crosswinds Road, Suite E, Phenix City, AL Next to Chattahoochee Valley Community CollegeGet fresh for the weekend – not just barbers, lifestyle consultants.
