Auburn's offense was horrible against Texas A&M. How was the rest of the team?
Auburn quarterback Payton Thorne, left, is sacked by Texas A&M defensive lineman Walter Nolen, right, and linebacker Chris Russell Jr., bottom, during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, in College Station, Texas. APAuburn lost 27-10 in its SEC opener on the road against Texas A&M on Saturday. No need to sugarcoat it, the offense was awful.
It didn’t matter which quarterback was playing, and that was the same issue against Cal. There are some broad issues here that don’t stem from any one facet of this offense, coaching or players alike. Eugene Asante had a fumble return for a touchdown in what was maybe Auburn’s only bright spot for the whole game.But eventually, the bend-don’t-break defense finally broke. It’s spent game after game bailing out a stagnant offense, and frankly, that can’t last forever.
Overall, not bad. But the second half falters didn’t help an Auburn offense that needed a lot of help.If the punting was really good as a whole, that’s probably not a good sign about how a game went. Oscar Chapman averaged just over 40 yards per punt and made a quite athletic play in the first half to get a punt off despite a Reed Hughes snap that was high over his head and mishandled.Not a ton of action from the special teams, but nothing bad from this group either.
