The offseason buzz surrounding Auburn this summer is getting louder, and much of that is based on the belief that the Tigers' offense will be much improved under first-year offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey.

While Lindsey is revamping Auburn's scheme and making it more pass-heavy while staying true to the team's run-first identity, the man likely tasked with running that offense appears confident in the Tigers' ability to live up to the hype. Jarrett Stidham hasn't won the starting job yet -- that will be decided in fall camp -- but the former Baylor transfer is widely expected to be Auburn's quarterback this fall, and he is excited about what's in store for the team on that side of the ball.

"We got playmakers everywhere on the field," Stidham told ESPN's Tom Luginbill during a video interview that was published Friday. "I think all of the pieces of the puzzle are there. It's just a matter of time of just getting everybody on the same page."

Auburn returns leading rushers Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson to form a formidable one-two punch in the backfield, as well as a young but promising group of receivers led by sophomores Darius Slayton, Nate Craig-Myers, Kyle Davis and Eli Stove. Auburn also brings back three starters along the offensive line while also adding a pair of experienced graduate transfers in FSU's Wilson Bell and Jacksonville State's Casey Dunn.

Infuse that with Lindsey's scheme and the excitement brought from April's A-Day showing from that side of the ball, and it's easy to understand Stidham's point of view.

While Stidham impressed on A-Day, earning offensive MVP honors in the process, the 6-foot-2, 214-pounder still has to prove himself against SEC competition if he wins the job as expected. Lindsey said last month that the biggest area Stidham needs to improve in is his ability to read defenses, a sentiment he echoed during his interview with Luginbill.

"At Baylor, the offense kind of speaks for itself -- very explosive," Stidham said. "Coming here, it is a little different, having to read defenses a little more."

Still, Stidham remains confident in the offense's ability to improve upon last year's numbers and the defense's prospects of building off of last year's surprising turnaround.

"The ultimate goal is to win the SEC," Stidham said. "Everything after that just takes care of itself."
