Taking a look at some interesting stats for the Auburn Tigers three games into the season

Auburn has produced some interesting numbers three games into the season.

Auburn started the year 3-0 and is now preparing to make a trip to College Station, Texas, to take on the Texas A&M Aggies. 

Auburn has gotten better each game so far this season, giving fans hope they can win a big SEC West matchup on the road. 

So far, throughout the first three games of the season, the Auburn Tigers have accumulated some interesting stats. 

Let's take a look at some of these stats.

Payton Thorne's best completion percentage splits come against the blitz and while he's under pressure. He's 6 for 7 (85.7%) when under pressure for 73 yards (10.3 YPA). He's 12 for 16 (75%) when blitzed for 161 yards.

All three of Thorne's picks come from a clean pocket. Thorne's been given a clean pocket on 82.7% of his dropbacks. He's thrown all three of his picks when the pocket was clean. The opposing defense did not blitz on those plays.

Dillon Wade has been incredible at pass protection this season. In Wade's 89 pass-blocking reps, he has not allowed a pressure or a sack.

DJ James is off to a great start to the season. His assignment in coverage has been targeted 13 times. He's had three pass breakups, a pick, and a dropped interception. That would earn opposing quarterbacks a 34.1 passer rating when targeting James.

If you remove quarterback scrambles, half of Auburn's rushing TDs have come from attacking left end. Auburn has scored 10 TDs on the ground this season. Taking out the two touchdowns that Auburn has scored due to QB scrambles, Auburn has scored four of the other eight TDs by running around the left end. Auburn has run the ball around the left end 24 times for 115 yards, four TDs, and ten first downs.
