Kamryn Pettway, RB: Pettway’s absence with a hamstring injury he sustained against Vanderbilt has been crippling Auburn’s offense. Pettway is a monster running the ball when healthy, and with two weeks off, he should be ready to roll. Pettway’s a big back who faces a tall task going against a defense that yields the fewest rushing yards per game, in order for Auburn’s offense to get going, he’ll have to as well.
Sean White, QB: White struggled heavily against Georgia completing 6/20 passes for 30 yards and an interception, but he had a shoulder injury. White will face a significantly better secondary this weekend, and will need to be healthy and on his A-game in order to beat Alabama. White’s health, and ability to efficiently throw are huge keys for Auburn to pull off the upset.
Carl Lawson, EDGE: Auburn’s defense is led by star edge rusher Carl Lawson, and he’ll play a huge role in containing Jalen Hurts, and Alabama’s outside run game. Lawson’s a talented player who will more than likely be matched up with freshman Jonah Williams, expect Lawson to be in a key battle on the right side to get after Hurts and company. If Lawson can win his battles he can force Alabama into some difficult situations.
