Auburn announces depth chart for game against New Mexico State
The Auburn Tigers have plenty of momentum after winning three straight SEC games to clinch a bowl appearance and they will look to keep it going when they play New Mexico State Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
After crushing the Arkansas Razorbacks last week, Hugh Freeze and Auburn’s coaching staff have decided to keep the exact same depth chart for their Week 12 game against the Aggies.
It’s easy to see why they would keep the same depth chart, the Tigers had their most complete game of the season against the Razorbacks, excelling in all three phases and are playing their best football of the season.
