Byrum Brown has been one of the better dual-threat quarterbacks in all of college football both at South Florida and now at Auburn.
On Saturday, he continued to prove that to be the case. His 1-yard score on Saturday against Mississippi State marked the 8th straight game he’s scored a rushing touchdown.
When Alex Golesh became the coach at Auburn, one of the first moves that he made was to bring Brown with him from USF. Entering the game against Mississippi State, he had passed for 1,740 yards and 11 touchdowns, while rushing for another 605 yards and 8 more scores.
The Tigers got a win against Arkansas last week, and late in the first half, they were dominating the Bulldogs, 24-7, in the final minutes of the first half. If the Tigers can hold on and get the win, it would be the first season since 2023 that they have won 6 games and become bowl-eligible.
With two games remaining on the schedule, Brown has a chance to continue to extend that streak against Samford and Alabama.
