The Auburn Tigers are less than an hour away from kicking off their third game of the season live from Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn will see some changes during its homecoming contest against New Mexico, especially on offense. Hank Brown will get the chance to show off his skills for the first time as a starter as he gets the nod over Payton Thorne as the Tigers starting quarterback.
Pregame reports from Justin Hokanson of Auburn Live also show that freshman wide receiver Cam Coleman is not dressing out for Saturday's game due to a shoulder injury.
