    The Auburn offense struggled as a whole against the Penn State Nittany Lions. 

    Only two Auburn Tigers were given an offensive grade higher than 70 based on the performance at Jordan Hare Stadium this past Saturday. 

    The Auburn offense looks like it has a long way to go this season but let's look at the top 10 offensive players according to PFF. 

    It comes as no surprise that both running backs Tank Bigsby and Jarquez Hunter were top 10 PFF scorers. A handful of wide receivers made Auburn's top ten as well as a group of offensive linemen. The top offensive lineman quietly had an impressive game.
