SEC Media Days, the unofficial start to the college football season, will begin in all its glory next week at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. Auburn, and Bryan Harsin, won't make an appearance until the final day of the proceedings on Thursday. Media from all over the country will descend upon the Peach State to grill Harsin and his counterparts with a thousand relevant questions about the upcoming season and probably a few bizarre queries from out of left field. None of the 14 SEC teams enter 2022 without at least a couple of question marks pertaining to their roster or schedule. However, the Auburn Tigers have a few more unanswered questions than I typically like heading into this time of year. Again, that doesn't mean they're a whole lot different than anyone else. It just means they rarely take into account my mental state when it comes to making decisions. Go figure.
Bo Nix won the starting QB job on the Plains midway through fall practice in 2019. Love him or hate him, he took command of the position and was a mainstay for three years with very little controversy. As of today, the Tigers have three true contenders at quarterback (Zach Calzada, TJ Finley & Robby Ashford) who will battle it out during fall practice to see who becomes the leader of the team. Whoever wins the job could very well be spectacular and I desperately hope they will be, but it's a complete unknown at the moment. Unanswered question #1.
