Despite losing their final two games, 2017 was definitely a bounce-back season for Auburn. The Tigers finished 10-4, won their first SEC West title since 2013 and handed eventual national champion Alabama its only loss.

Expectations are high for another run at the SEC title in 2018. If the expectations are met, there are some records that could fall this season.

Here are six records in jeopardy for 2018:

Passing yards, season

Auburn record: 3,277 (Dameyune Craig, 1997)

Skinny: Junior QB Jarrett Stidham nearly broke this record last season, throwing for 3,158 yards, just 119 yards from the mark.

With a strong group of returning receivers and a season already under his belt at Auburn, Stidham is in prime position to set the single-season record. Stidham would need to average about 253 passing yards a game to set the record over a 13-game season (12 regular-season games, 1 bowl game).

The TD record is 30, set by Cam Newton in 2010. Stidham, who threw 18 last year, has a shot at that, too.

Sacks, season

Auburn record: 11.5 (Nick Fairley 2010)

Skinny: Jeff Holland gave it a run last season, finishing with 10 sacks before going to the NFL.

With such a strong group of defensive starters returning this season, there are a number of players that could be in line to top this record.

It could be junior defensive end Marlon Davidson, who has been a starter since his freshman season and finished with 3.5 sacks last season. Maybe it could be the Tigers’ top returning tackler, linebacker Deshaun Davis, who also had 3.5 sacks a season ago.

And, before fans mention how it’s a major leap to go from 3.5 sacks to 11.5 sacks, remember that in 2009, Fairley had just 1.5 sacks in 13 games.

Receptions, season

Auburn record: 84 (Ryan Davis, 2017)

Skinny: Davis didn’t just break the Auburn record, he obliterated it, topping the previous mark by 24 receptions.

Is it possible for Davis to break his own record? Well, if you are to believe that Stidham can set the passing yards record, it stands to reason that he will need a favorite target. Based on last season’s performance, that is clearly Davis.

Points scored, season

Auburn record: 134 (Daniel Carlson, 2016)

Skinny: Daniel Carlson is the SEC’s all-time leading scorer, and he holds the top two spots on this list (126 points in 2017).

So, why expect anyone to go one better than the Tigers’ career scoring leader? Because the person looking to fill his shoes is redshirt freshman Anders Carlson.

Yes, Daniel’s younger brother.

Anders Carlson gave a preview of what to expect in 2018 by kicking four field goals in the A-Day, with three of the FG from 40+ yards. If this offense generates points as expected, look for plenty of chances for Carlson to rack up the point totals this season.

Most 100-yard rushing games, season

Auburn record: 10 (Rudi Johnson, 2000)

Skinny: In recent years there has been a logjam of talent at the running back position. Last season, Kerryon Johnson was the star, with 1,391 yards and 18 TDs. The season before that, Kamryn Pettway looked like the future of the Tigers’ rushing attack, running for 1,224 yards.

They are gone, leaving the team’s second-leading rusher from last season, Kam Martin, as the leader of the running backs group. Last season Martin gained just 453 yards on the ground, but only needed 74 carries to compile that total, a 6.1 yards per carry average.

It might not be the easiest task of all time, especially with road games at Mississippi State, Georgia and Alabama on the schedule this season. But traditionally, Auburn is a running team and Martin figures to be the one to get the bulk of the carries in 2018.

Consecutive pass completions

Auburn record: 18 (Jarrett Stidham, 2017)

Skinny: Stidham makes this list again, as he will attempt to break his own mark, which he set last season vs Mercer.

This season, Stidham could have an early chance against FCS opponent Alabama State in Week 2, or later on in Week 12 against Liberty, which has made the jump up to the FBS.

Last season, while Stidham led the SEC in completions (246), he ranked just 7th in the conference in yards per pass attempt (8.5). Meaning: a lot of short passes and completions last season for Stidham. He should have plenty of weapons to throw to in 2018, so this record could definitely fall.
