Well, Auburn decided to commit to the passing game, until the forth quarter, anyway. The Tigers looked really good, charging up and down the field at will against the Golden Eagles. Of course, turning the ball over 50% of the time they reached the red zone is less than encouraging, but it’s better than last year’s symphony of three-and-outs.
The defense looked good at times, and sub-standard at others. It was obvious that any team with a decent o-line and an accurate quarterback would spell big trouble for Auburn. Fortunately, Southern Miss is a little lacking in both respects.
That said, Auburn’s mistakes are correctable, and should get worked out as the season unfolds. This is a talented team that should get better each week. Lookout SEC, Auburn’s coming.
War Eagle!
