Auburn Briefing: Brian Battie's return could mean a lot for the running backs room
Unless something changes, Auburn is set to enter into 2024 with the same running back room as a year ago.
Entering 2023, Auburn's deepest position was running back and the fact that Auburn will bring back Brian Battie after he tested the waters in the transfer portal, could mean a ton in an offense that may still need to run the ball a fair amount.
Battie joins Jarquez Hunter, Damari Alston, and Jeremiah Cobb in a stacked running backs room that was a top-five rushing attack in the SEC.
Auburn was fifth in the SEC in rushing yards (2457), fifth in total rushing attempts (513), and fourth in rushing yards per game (189). Depending on play calling and scheme, Auburn should be in a position to run more plays in 2024.
