Auburn football week three depth chart vs Samford: Tigers change starting linebackers

Eugene Asante will get the nod at linebacker this weekend against the Bulldogs.

Auburn's offense didn't have a lot to show against Cal on Saturday night, struggling to cobble together drives while coughing up the ball four times.

However, the defense did more than its part helping Auburn secure a 14-10 win on the road.

Eugene Asante was at the forefront of the stellar defensive performance. Asante led the Tigers with 12 tackles, the most of his career. It’s the second straight game he has led Auburn in tackles (six vs UMass).

Asante will now get the nod at linebacker, starting over Cam Riley according to Auburn's Monday depth chart.
