D.J. Durkin Hands Auburn’s Offensive Reins to Derrick Nix

Interim head coach Durkin announced that OC Derrick Nix will take over play-calling duties — a role previously held by Hugh Freeze before his firing. Nix, in his second year at Auburn after 16 seasons with Ole Miss, inherits an offense that ranked third-worst in the SEC (22.3 PPG). His first test comes Saturday vs. No. 16 Vanderbilt.
