Auburn releases depth chart for Week 2 matchup with Cal
Auburn has revealed its depth chart for the second week of the season and it is unchanged from their Week 1 depth chart.
One of the biggest questions surrounding Auburn football is the status of running back Jarquez Hunter who did not play in Week 1. While the Tigers did not need him against UMass, they are facing a tougher team in the Cal Golden Bears and a player of Hunter’s caliber could be the difference between Auburn winning and losing. He is once again listed as Auburn’s starting running back on the depth chart but that is not confirmation that he will take the field Saturday.
Hugh Freeze and Co. were able to play nearly everyone on the depth chart last week as Auburn took control of the game in the second quarter. The game against Cal could be the first time the Tigers use a tighter rotation.
