Gunner Britton optimistic on OL development and offensive identity, talks fixing protection issues and more

AUBURN -- Gunner Britton knows it takes time for an offensive line to truly mold together in the heat of SEC competition. Spring and fall camp can only teach so much, but Britton likes where Auburn's offensive line is at entering the matchup against LSU. Auburn sits third in the SEC in rushing at 202 yards per game and is fresh off rushing for over 200 yards against Georgia, a team that hadn't given up 200+ yards rushing in years. Progress is being made. "I think we've played better together every week. It takes time to develop relationships on the field and understand what all five guys are doing. That's something we've all been able to grow each week is getting comfortable playing together," Britton said on Tuesday. "That helps us moving forward. That's something we lean on is playing for the other four guys on the line at any given time. We're just getting better each week. If you're on a trend, you want to get better each week. That's something we focus on." Britton talked more about a variety of topics on Tuesday as Auburn prepares for LSU.
