Auburn's offense has struggled to get off of the ground during these first few weeks of the season.

Head coach Hugh Freeze preached patience when it came to the Tigers' passing attack, but few expected it to be this anemic coming out of the bye week.

Auburn ranks last in the SEC in passing yards per game at 156.6 per contest. Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne has struggled to create any consistency with his receivers, and with the way things are headed halfway through the year, he may not be able to.
