New Auburn AD Allen Greene weighs in on staggering games against Alabama and Georgia
The Auburn Tigers face one of the toughest tests in the SEC every other year, as they have to take on both Georgia and Alabama on the road.
Of course, that means they also get to play Georgia and Alabama at home every other year, but it sounds like the Tigers would prefer to have those games staggered — one home game and one road game every season.
That would likely mean Auburn would have to travel to Georgia two years in a row, and Georgia coach Kirby Smart said he’d be happy to accommodate that request from the Tigers. Even new Auburn AD Allen Greene is up to have discussions about staggering the schedule:
Update: Auburn A.D. Allen Greene also wants to change the current situation so his school doesn't play Georgia and Alabama on the road every other season: "In our world it makes sense to even that out. And so I think it makes sense to have discussions." https://t.co/o8zhNiYFAz

Would he be willing to have two-straight road games against the Bulldogs, though? Greene said he would have discussions about it:
Auburn A.D. Allen Greene asked if he's willing to have Auburn play twice in a row at Georgia to even it out: "It should be on the table for discussion." https://t.co/yTR2Wg0vCZ

Noise surrounding Auburn’s schedule is getting louder, so it’s possible something happens sooner rather than later. With Gus Malzahn and now Greene supporting the change, it will likely happen eventually.
