Auburn opened up the game with a punt but followed it up with a touchdown drive led by TJ Finley, who is starting in replacement of Bo Nix. The Tigers currently are tied with the Gamecocks 14-14 in a revenge game Auburn desperately needs to have some momentum heading into the Iron Bowl.
I’m just as confused as anybody on that fourth down call before the half. Why you don’t run it with either Bigsby or Finley is beyond me. Going for it to begin with was a bad idea. Is this the second straight game that the coaching staff loses?
Here are five takeaways from the first half between Auburn and South Carolina.
