he should be hitting Nabers here (as in ball should already be hitting Malik in the 8 right about this point):

If you want to pick nits about the route tree, it would have been more effective to have Lacey (I believe that is him on the upper hash) to run a clearing pattern, leaving Nabors to continue a shallow drag across the middle and be able to receive the ball for YAC. This was a staple of the '19 offense. This works only of course if Auburn is in man (which they are) and they didnt disguise that pre-snap. Without knowing the offense, Lacey may have indeed been assigned an option route, and should have done exactly that.

Regardless, Nabors is the obvious option here once he sits down.
