Auburn has hit the bye-week. The Tigers have five games under their belt and have surely learned a lot and made some adjustments as the season has gone along.
The passing game has been a huge question surrounding Auburn all season. Quarterback Payton Thorne has gone 59-94 for 643 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions.
15 different players have caught a pass for Auburn so far this season.
Wide receiver Jay Fair has the triple crown for Auburn so far; leading the team in receptions with 18, yards with 196 and touchdowns with two.
Tight end Rivaldo Fairweather is following closely with 145 yards and a touchdown off of 15 receptions.
Wide receiver Shane Hooks comes in at a distant No. 3 with 106 yards and a touchdown off of eight catches.
The fact of the matter is Auburn is not throwing the ball much. It has been a significantly run-heavy offense.
In Auburn's last two games, Thorne has thrown for 82 and 44 yards respectively.
Fair already has a solid lead on the competition and it will take a lot to pass up to him since he is reliable on short routes which account for a lot of his receptions.
Fairweather could make a play for it as well, particularly if Thorne gets more comfortable in the pocket and needs fewer check-downs.
The most likely scenario is Fair leading the team in receiving in 2023.
