Auburn OC Joel Gordon says help from mock game week is 'huge'
On Monday, Auburn football offensive coordinator spoke at the weekly coaches press conference and spoke on the benefits of mock game week for players.
Auburn Offensive Coordinator Joel Gordon discussed the team's preparations for their first official game week of the season. Gordon highlighted the importance of the mock game week in providing a break from the monotony of fall camp. He noted that the offense will be significantly different after the additions of players like quarterback Byrum Brown and right tackle Stanton Ramil.
With these changes, many eyes will be on the team's first drive against Baylor on Saturday. Gordon also expressed confidence in the team's preparation, citing the continuity of personnel under head coach Alex Golesh and quarterback Brown. Auburn will face a defense that is adjusting to a new coordinator, Joe Klanderman. Klanderman, who is experienced in both offensive schemes, is expected to keep the defense on its toes.
Gordon believes that if the Baylor defense is not cleaned up from last season, the Tigers could have a major impact on the outcome of the game with their multiple offensive weapons.
