“We are bringing it back to some big-boy football,” Auburn interim Coach Cadillac Williams said. “You know, coming downhill, hitting you in the mouth and being able to fight or quit.”
. Since Harsin’s ouster, the Tigers have finally seen that come to fruition with the help of Williams and a restructured offensive staff led by Hilliard and co-offensive coordinator Will Friend.
“Right now, we’ve been running the ball really good,” quarterback Robby Ashford said. “So, it’s kind of, if it ain’t broke, why fix it?” Bigsby averaged 13.75 carries through Auburn’s first eight games under Harsin but has gotten 18 carries per game the last three weeks against Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Western Kentucky. Hunter averaged 6.9 carries per game the first eight games, with just one of double-digit carries, but he has averaged a shade below 13 carries per game this month.Bigsby has been productive with those touches, too, averaging 5.93 yards per carry. Hunter, meanwhile, has averaged 7.
That decision by Auburn to fight and not quit has helped revitalize the program since Williams took over. Auburn nearly completed a 21-point comeback at Mississippi State before falling in overtime, and then it won each of its last two home games while getting back-to-back dueling 100-yard performances from Bigsby and Hunter.
