The Auburn offense took some time to get going on Saturday against the San Jose State Spartans. 

As an offense, Auburn only had three players score above a 70 offensive ranking in PFF's grading. That's not great. Still, here are the top 10 offensive performers for the Auburn Tigers in the win over San Jose State.
