Auburn (3-0) made some mistakes but they were able to take down Samford 45-13 Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
While they should have scored more, it was a strong showing by Auburn and particularly [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag]. He did have two of Auburn’s three turnovers but he showcased his athleticism and looked in command of the offense.
The defense shut down the Samford offense outside of two drives, one started deep in Auburn territory and the other was once the game was already in hand. The defensive backs continue to be turnover machines as [autotag]Jaylin Simpson[/autotag] and [autotag]J.D. Rhym[/autotag] both recorded interceptions.
Here is a look at how every unit graded out.
