Auburn Football Takeaways: The Tigers Got Missouri'd
Ugh, another loss. It's tough to be an Auburn fan right now, but we gotta look at the bright side, right? There's always something to learn from a game, even a stinker like this one. Let's dive into some takeaways from Auburn's loss to Missouri.
Offense Still Struggling
Let's be honest, the offense looked pretty rough against the Tigers. That's putting it mildly. We saw some glimpses of potential, but the consistency just wasn't there. The running game was a no-show, and Robby Ashford's passing game was, well, let's just say it wasn't exactly a highlight reel. He's got the arm, but the accuracy needs some work.
Defense Has Some Questions
While the defense played better than the offense, there were some red flags. Missouri was able to move the ball pretty effectively, especially in the second half. The secondary looked shaky at times, and the pass rush wasn't as ferocious as we've seen in the past. We need to see more consistency from this side of the ball.
Special Teams... What Special Teams?
Let's just say the special teams performance was, well, a special kind of bad. A missed field goal, a couple of bad punts, and a missed extra point? Yikes. We gotta clean up the special teams unit if we want to turn things around.
The Coaching Staff Needs to Make Adjustments
The coaching staff needs to figure out what's going on with the offense. It's time to get creative and find a way to get the playmakers involved. We need to see some adjustments on both sides of the ball if Auburn wants to start winning games.
The Bottom Line
This was a tough loss, but it's not the end of the world. There's still a lot of football left to be played. The Tigers need to learn from this game and come out fighting next week. Let's get back to winning, War Eagle!
