Auburn’s offensive line wasn’t tested much in its 73-3 win over Alabama A&M, but it was an opportunity to see the rotation play out in a live game for the first time.

Head coach Hugh Freeze said in the week leading up to the game that Dillon Wade, Tyler Johnson and Percy Lewis would rotate along the left side of the offensive line, with a clear starting left tackle not yet determined.

Johnson got the start at tackle with Wade at guard, and Lewis rotated in at tackle after Johnson.

Johnson played 23 snaps at left tackle, compared to nine for Lewis, according to Pro Football Focus, with Wade playing 29 snaps at left guard.

After the game, Freeze said they’re “gonna need both of them,” when asked about Johnson and Lewis, but Johnson had the clear edge in snaps on Saturday.

In that same response, Freeze said it was hard for him to give much analysis until he watched the film. During his Monday press conference, he had more to say about the performance.

“I thought Percy’s snaps were really good. Tyler made a few MAs but overall, I thought he was pretty solid so it’s good to see both of them play well,” Freeze said.

Pro Football Focus had nearly identical pass blocking grades for the two tackles, with Johnson earning an 80.9 and Lewis an 81. Lewis had a much lower run blocking grade, but only had one run blocking snap.

Johnson played 10 run blocking snaps and earned the best run blocking grade on the team with a 91.2.

Wade had the highest snap count on the offensive line graded well. Pro Football Focus gave him an 85.3 run blocking grade and an 82 pass blocking grade.

Ronan Chambers was the other player to play significant snaps at left tackle and played the most snaps on the offensive line outside Auburn’s starters.

Chambers, an Akron transfer, was another player who emerged late in fall camp and someone Freeze called a “very good late pickup.” He played 19 total snaps with 11 coming at right tackle and the other eight at left tackle. He graded lower than Wade, Johnson and Lewis, though, with a pass blocking grade of 79.7 and a run blocking grade of 66.1.
