What a great way to start off the Bryan Harsin era.
Auburn thumped the Akron Zips 60-10 on Saturday night. It’s the most points Auburn has scored in a head coach’s debut, breaking the previous record held by Gene Chizik (37 points vs Louisiana Tech in 2009).
Offensively, Nix was focused and having fun. Defensively, Auburn didn’t force any turnovers, but the defensive line looked furious. Had the starters stayed in, Auburn would have shut the Zips out. A complete performance from the Tigers deserves high praise. This is exactly what fans needed to see as a confidence booster heading into the next two weeks.
Here’s my report card on each individual unit for the Tigers.
