Auburn football has revealed its depth chart for Saturday's game against the Arkansas Razorbacks in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn shuffled its offensive line last Saturday at Ole Miss, moving Stanton Ramil to left tackle, Kenneth McManus to left guard, Jacobe Ward to right guard, Wilson Zierer to right tackle, and keeping Cole Best at center. The new-look line allowed 17 quarterback pressures, the fewest since Auburn's Week 5 loss to Tennessee, when it allowed 12.
Auburn will use that same combination on Saturday against Arkansas, according to the depth chart reveal. This offensive lineman combination could be the difference as the Tigers prepare to face an Arkansas defense that has created just 59 quarterback pressures this season, according to Pro
Football Focus data.
Another position to watch is wide receiver. Jeremiah Koger, who was listed as an "or" for the Ole Miss game, did not play. His absence opened the door for Christian Neptune and DaShawn Spencer to combine for nine catches for 115 yards. Those two wide receivers, as well as Bryce Cain, are listed as "ors" for Saturday's game against the Razorbacks, while Koger has moved to the second-team slot behind Chas Nimrod.
