Hank Brown has started his Auburn career by throwing 27 completions on 39 attempts for 463 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions over 3 games. Those numbers, on the surface, are fantastic. The issue is Brown’s production has come against Maryland’s third and fourth string defenses in the 2023 Music City Bowl, Alabama A&M backups in the 2024 opener, and most recently, the worst statistical defense in FBS this year.
There is no denying Hank Brown’s talent and ability to pick up head coach Hugh Freeze’s offense but it is hard to be confident in a young player that has yet to compete against high-level competition. The 18-year-old has the chance to do that this weekend, and another great game could give his coaching staff, and Auburn fans, plenty of optimism going forward. If he struggles however, it may be a long day on the Plains.
