Auburn finally brought its offense to a road game as head coach Hugh Freeze led a 31-15 win against Vanderbilt in Nashville. And as a whole, it looked good doing it. Had it not shot itself in the foot on multiple occasions, the margin of victory could have been bigger.
Jarquez Hunter had arguably the best performance of his career with a single-game career-high 183 rushing yards. He scored twice. He averaged just under 10 yards per carry. Hunter ran with power, and he ran with speed. Some of the drops were hard to excuse. Omari Kelly had one in the first half where he could have walked into the endzone on a deep ball to him over the middle of the field. He was wide open. But the pass hit his hands and fell to the ground. A brutal drop.
After that? Vanderbilt got one first down total over its next eight drives. The only one of those eight drives that didn’t end in a punt was the clock hitting 0:00 to end the first half. But Freeze and offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery, finally, found a way to bring this offense on the road. And yes, the opponent was Vanderbilt, but Auburn has faced bad defenses on the road before and done nothing.
