Hasn't been an issue in the past. WR's know Auburn is a "run first" team. But the team is more balanced if anything now. Stidham had almost 30 attempts. I don't understand what fans actually want. Fans want Whitlow to be fed while also trying to get every receiver on the roster at least 5 catches a game. There's only so many plays in a game
Clemson is perfect at getting everyone involved

Clemson had Deshaun Watson, and they still have yet to win a title without him. Their new QB might get them one though, but it seems like their defense might be losing some playmakers pretty soon on their d-line.

Auburn is still looking for a warrior at QB. You need that to win BIG. Might already be in the locker room, but we have Stidham as starter right now. Everything I've seen from Stidham tells me he's biding his time trying to get to the league. He isn't dynamic with his legs either. He's looking like a lifelong backup QB to me.

It's the starts of year 2 without Deshaun and they're coming off a playoff run, they'll be around for a while. I felt like Stidham had it made last year with Kerryon.

Auburn tries to get everyone involved. 8 different guys had at least 1 catch in the game last week. Seems like Auburn fans want Stidham to force feed specific players
Felt like most of those passes were to fullbacks and RBs the only receiver I remember is Schwartz.

Let's be real here. Where would they be if they played in the SEC West? Somewhere behind Bama, and probably another loss between LSU, Auburn, Texas A&M, and maybe even Mississippi State this year would have a chance to beat them.

I know that, I’m saying the major difference now is the transfer rule. You got virtually no barrier stopping you if you want to go plus you can feel out the team like a trial run. It might be a non issue though, who knows

Main problem I feel with Auburn and receivers is that there’s rarely curls, wheels, zig zags or mid posts, and they only use slants in complete desperation. They basically scheme out your Mike Williams, NCM, Kyle Davis, those types by design. And I know it’s more Gus and his bytch ass wing T than it is Lindsey because that WAS Chip’s calling card

That's going to happen to every team. Watch all the transfer news that happens after this weekend. This rule is good for the players. Schools never should've had that much control over players to begin with
