Robby Ashford said he’s excited heading into his first Iron Bowl, and deservedly so.
The Auburn quarterback grew up an Auburn fan in a family littered with Alabama faithful, most notably with a brother-in-law in former Alabama great Damion Square.
While the Tigers head into their matchup with No. 8 Alabama on Saturday an underdog by more than three touchdowns, Ashford will guide the Auburn offense in the hopes of what would be the program’s most miraculous upset since Cam Newton led the Tigers to an impressive comeback win in Tuscaloosa in 2010.
People are also reading… “Right now, we've been running the ball really good, so it's kind of, if it ain't broke, why fix it?” Ashford said. “And I mean, as a quarterback, I feel like a lot of people would be like, ‘Oh, how do you feel? Like why would you be happy or something? Because your stats aren't as great.’ But for me, I don't care about stats as long as it is a W in the win column. I don't care who scores.
Under former coach Bryan Harsin, he was throwing far more, averaging 21.6 pass attempts per game, but that number has gone down in recent weeks, going to 18 per game under Williams. He’s running the ball more, too, averaging 14.3 rush attempts per game as opposed to 11.6 in the first eight weeks. His yards per carry have increased, too, up to 4.5 from 4.3
