Auburn Football: 3 Takeaways From Missouri Loss

Ugh, that was rough. Auburn lost to Missouri, and it wasn't pretty.

The Tigers got absolutely clobbered by the Tigers of Missouri, and it was a real gut punch for Auburn fans. But hey, it’s still early in the season, and there’s still plenty of time to turn things around. But man, this loss really stung.

Let’s take a look at three key takeaways from the game:

1. The Defense Is Still Struggling

Let's be honest, Auburn’s defense has been a real weak point this season. They've been giving up yards and points like it's going out of style. This game was no different. Missouri’s offense had a field day, racking up over 500 yards of total offense.

It’s not just the yards, though, it’s the way they’re giving them up. Missouri’s offense seemed to breeze right through Auburn’s defense. They looked like a bunch of wet noodles out there.

2. The Offense Can't Seem to Find Consistency

Auburn’s offense is a bit of a mixed bag this year. They have flashes of brilliance, but they’re also prone to disappearing acts. They struggled to get anything going consistently against Missouri. They looked lost at times.

The offensive line needs to step it up, and they need to find a way to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers more consistently. Otherwise, this offense is going to be a major liability.

3. This Team Needs To Find An Identity

That was the most concerning thing about the loss. The Tigers looked completely lost on the field. They lacked energy, passion, and focus. They just looked defeated before the game even started.

This team needs to figure out who they are and what they’re about. They need to find their swagger and believe in themselves. Otherwise, this season could be a long one.

Looking Ahead

It's early, and the Tigers have plenty of time to turn things around. But they need to get their act together, and fast. They need to find a way to get that spark back and show the world what they're capable of.

Let’s hope they can bounce back from this one, because things aren’t looking great right now. War Eagle.
