Auburn tweaks depth chart ahead of Week 7 game against LSU
After a week away, Auburn football is set to return to action and Hugh Freeze and Co. have made some changes to the depth chart ahead of their matchup with the LSU Tigers.
The moves were largely expected as Gunner Britton is now listed as the starter at left guard and Izavion Miller at right tackle. This had already been happening for the past weeks but it is now official.
The other change comes along the defensive line where true freshman Keldric Faulk has been named the starter at defensive end, replacing the injured Mosiah Nasili-Kite.
