These fans watched the Auburn vs Mississippi State and lived to react to it

I’ve never been so underwhelmed and exhausted while watching an Auburn game before. The Auburn vs Memphis basketball game left very little in the emotional tank for football, it also didn’t help that the score at halftime was 6-3.

But alas, Auburn was able to snap a two-game losing streak and the Tigers’ abysmal offense finally managed to find the end zone late in the second half. The final score was 24-10. Here’s what many had to say:

Auburn fans we can now relax, for it is now basketball season. Prayers up for Mississippi State DE Marquiss Spencer who was stretchered off the field in the fourth quarter.

Whole lotta anger: Reactions to Auburn’s loss against Texas A&M

Fans on Twitter wasn’t happy with Auburn’s loss to Texas A&M on Saturday and let everyone know about it.

Auburn had more than enough opportunities to take down No. 5 Texas A&M, and they squandered all of them.

Bo Nix overthrew Eli Stove in the first half and the Tigers then settled for a field goal. Auburn had three timeouts and the ball left with 24 seconds to go in the second quarter and instead opted to go to the locker room. Texas A&M had a very questionable third-down conversion in the third quarter and instead of calling a timeout and challenging the play, Auburn let play continue and gave up the game-clinching touchdown.

The Tigers’ defense also allowed Texas A&M to convert 70% of third downs.

It was inexplicable, frustrating, and pitiful to witness. Twitter also would like a few words here.

In summary, everyone is angry and I can’t blame them either.

Twitter reacts to Auburn getting embarrassed in Iron Bowl

Auburn got embarrassed by Alabama in the 2020 Iron Bowl and Twitter was not happy.

Behold, Twitter reacts to Auburn’s most pathetic showing all year against Alabama. If you are an Auburn fan who stuck it out by watching the whole game then kudos to you. This one got real ugly real fast when Auburn failed to do anything but kick field goals in the first half.

In summary, blown coverage + a mediocre offensive line = a 42-13 loss to Alabama.

I mean seriously, that was horrifying. The Tigers are going to need to make adjustments if they don’t want to lose by 30+ to Texas A&M next weekend.

For the first time in a long time Auburn fans could enjoy a football game without nearly having a heart attack. Auburn defeated LSU 48-11 and exorcised some demons from the last three years. This was a fun one to watch folks. Here’s what people had to say:

It started off in scary Halloween fashion when Zakoby McClain was nearly ejected for targeting and Seth Williams fumbled near the end zone for a touchback.

It didn’t help that Gary Danielson was insufferable either.

But let me tell y’all what. Eli Stove came to PLAY today.

So did the defense.

EVERYBODY CAME TO PLAY TODAY!

As time waned off the clock, it became apparent to all of America that this game was a good ole-fashioned butt whooping. Auburn fans loved every minute of it.

War Eagle! And finally,

 

Auburn vs. LSU: What the experts are saying

What the experts are saying about Auburn vs. LSU.

Auburn faces off against LSU this Saturday at 2:30 on CBS. It’s already spooky enough that this game takes place on Halloween, but within the last few days Vegas odds have swung out of Auburn’s favor and into LSU’s. Here’s what the experts are saying:

College Football News

Pete Fiutak: Auburn 34 LSU 30

Why he thinks Auburn will win:

“It’ll be a tough back-and-forth battle, but Auburn’s defense will come through when needed, and Nix will have a second straight above-average game to get by.”

SB Nation

Shane Shackelford: LSU 42 Auburn 30

CBS Sports

Barrett Sallee: LSU (-3)

What he says:

“I’ll take LSU to win and cover. The offense is good enough to put pressure on coach Gus Malzahn and offensive coordinator Chad Morris to panic and get away from the running game. If and when that happens, it’ll be lights out for Auburn. Some of Nix’s success this year has been thanks to Seth Williams catching desperation heaves. That is simply not sustainable. Nix will make several mistakes in the fourth quarter for LSU to pull away late.”

247Sports

Brad Crawford: Auburn 28 LSU 26

What he says:

“There’s literally nothing that says Auburn, a lucky winner in the final moments vs. Ole Miss last week, should win this game. Bo Nix has struggled with consistency and LSU is coming off its best performance of the season, with a freshman quarterback no less. But I like the idea of Kevin Steele gameplanning for a first-year player under center and believe Auburn is due for a standout defensive outing. Gus Malzahn could use a notable win this fall and he gets it on Saturday.”

Chris Hummer: LSU 31 Auburn 24

What he says:

“LSU remains a difficult team to peg. Myles Brennan’s status is up in the air and the Tigers’ defense ranks 96th out of 101 teams. Regardless, I expect LSU to continue to score as it did against South Carolina last week. As for Auburn … this team just isn’t all that good. Ole Miss should’ve presented an opportunity for the offense to get going. Instead, Bo Nix and that unit stalled once again. I’m sure Auburn will move the ball Saturday. I just can’t see it scoring enough to keep up.”

Athlon

Steven Lassan: Auburn

Mark Ross: LSU

Ben Weinrib: Auburn

Bleacher Report

Joel Reuter: LSU 34 Auburn 24

What he says:

“This looked like a much more significant game when LSU began the season at No. 7 in the AP Poll and Auburn was close behind in the No. 11 spot, but a pair of losses for each team has left this matchup in the unranked section. LSU has some momentum after a 52-24 blowout win over South Carolina last week, while the Auburn defense was shaky once again, allowing 444 yards against Ole Miss.”

Yahoo Sports

Sam Cooper: Auburn (+3)

What he says:

“LSU beat South Carolina 52-24 last week. That’s the same South Carolina team that beat Auburn 30-22. Perhaps that explains this point spread, but I think the wrong team is favored. Auburn, which is 8-2 against the spread as a home underdog under Gus Malzahn, gave the South Carolina game away when it strayed way too far from its running game and was doomed by three Bo Nix interceptions.

The score of LSU’s win over the Gamecocks is misleading as 14 of LSU’s points came via a pick-six and a kick return TD. LSU’s defense didn’t take any major strides. South Carolina’s running backs gained more than nine yards per carry, Collin Hill averaged more than 10 yards per attempt and South Carolina’s kicker missed three field goals.”

The Athletic

Stewart Mandel: Auburn 35 LSU 34

What he says:

“Your guess is as good as mine on this one. This will likely be a swing game in the SEC West. Neither team has been overly impressive to date, but they’re also both capable of going on a run from here. And Auburn is already having one of those seasons where the breaks seem to constantly fall its way.”

Bruce Feldman: Auburn 35 LSU 28

What he says:

“LSU has won the previous three meetings against Gus Malzahn’s program, all close. The hunch here is that Auburn finally gets a win, especially with LSU playing a true freshman QB, T.J. Finley, in his first road game. Auburn also has the kind of skill guys to take advantage of what has been a defense prone to allowing big plays.”

Well, there you have it. Experts are split on their predictions in this game. Despite the line shifting to LSU’s favor it looks like most of them are still going for Auburn. I hope they’re right!

Seth Williams, Tank Bigsby earn SEC Player of the Week honors

The two were a major part in helping Auburn come out with a 35-28 victory over Ole Miss on Saturday.

Auburn got big performances from Seth Williams and Tank Bigsby in Saturday’s 35-28 victory over Ole Miss and now they are getting some recognition.

Williams, who caught eight passes for 150 yards and the game-winning, 58-yard touchdown, has earned SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week. On the game-winning touchdown, Williams caught a back-shoulder pass from Bo Nix with a little more than a minute left and then outraced the Ole Miss defense for the score.

Bigsby was named the SEC Freshman of the Week after rushing for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. It is the third straight week in which the true freshman has rushed for more than 100 yards.

WATCH: Seth Williams leaps defender to avoid tackle

Seth Williams got high on this one.

Seth Williams wasn’t going to let this Ole Miss defender tackle him so he just did the simple thing and jumped over him.

On 3rd down and three, Nix hit Williams across the middle and then the wide receiver did the rest.

Auburn vs Georgia: What the experts are saying

Auburn and Georgia face off on Saturday night in Athens.

Round 128 of the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry will kick off this Saturday at 6:30 pm in Athens as seventh-ranked Auburn takes on No. 4 Georgia. Georgia is currently favored by six and a half points, but not all experts are sold on the Bulldogs. Here’s what they have to say:

247Sports: 

Brad Crawford: UGA 27 Auburn 19

  • Why: Crawford is extremely high on Georgia’s defense in this one. He says the keys to the Bulldogs’ success on Saturday are to feed Zamir White and negate Seth Williams (good luck with that).

Chris Hummer: UGA 21 Auburn 17

  • Why: Hummer says that he has a lot of questions about both teams, especially Georgia’s quarterback situation. Ultimately he gives the nod to Georgia due to them being, “the more talented team at home.”

Athlon: 

Steven Lassan: UGA

Mark Ross: UGA

Ben Weinrib: UGA

Sporting News: 

Bill Bender: UGA 27 Auburn 23

  • Why: Bender says, “Georgia has quarterback questions, and it will be interesting if USC transfer JT Daniels sees his first action in a tough assignment against Auburn, which looked more consistent with Bo Nix in his sophomore season.”

NCAA Sports: 

Barrett Sallee: Auburn

  • Why: Sallee isn’t buying that JT Daniels is 100% healthy and says that Auburn’s defense isn’t going to be threatened by either of Georgia’s quarterbacks. Sallee also thinks that Malzahn and Morris are going to open up that playbook a lot more on Saturday. “Take those points, but you won’t need them. Auburn will win this game outright.”

Bleacher Report:

Joe Tansey: Auburn (+6.5)

  • Why: Tansey did not like what he saw from Georgia against the Razorbacks, he cites the two costly turnovers by the Bulldogs and says, “Gus Malzahn’s team did not turn over the ball in its win over Kentucky and picked up 233 of its 324 total yards through the air.” He also adds that Bo Nix’s chemistry with his wide receivers is superior. Tansey also adds that history is on the Tigers’ side of covering the spread, “In their six meetings since 2015, Georgia is 5-1 outright, but Auburn has kept three games within one score, which makes the possibility of the Tigers covering the 6.5-point spread larger.”

USA Today:

Of the 17 sportswriters polled, only two picked the Tigers (I love being the underdog) and they are Ben Niewoehner of College Football News and Scott Steehn of WinnersandWhiners.

Overall many experts are skeptical of JT Daniels, as they should be, but they’re also not sold on how well Auburn’s O-line will hold up against Georgia’s solid defense. Personally, I like our chances at keeping this game dangerously close on Saturday. This game is one that everyone will be watching.

 

 

 

LOOK: Picture of Seth Williams catch already posted in football office

Auburn receiver Seth Williams made the Kentucky defender look silly on this catch.

Seth Williams made Kentucky cornerback Keldon Joseph look silly with his second touchdown catch on Saturday and a picture of the catch has already worked its way into the football offices.

This is the second year in a row that Williams has had a picture of one of his catches captured and put in the offices. Last year also in the season opener, Bo Nix found Williams for the game-winning touchdown against Oregon.
