How did each of phase of the game for Auburn fare in the season opener?
So it’s time to put some grades in the book too. Here’s the AL.com report card for Auburn’s season-opening win.It’s hard to give anything less than an ‘A’ when you score 59 points. The idea is to score, right? And sure, one of those touchdowns was a Simpson pick-six, but Auburn’s offense had 492 total yards of offense including 289 on the ground.
The wide receivers and quarterbacks weren’t always in sync, and Aubrun was working a new quarterback in Thorne into the picture.There are two ways to look at this. On one hand, Auburn gave up 72 rushing yards on the first UMass drive, and then only allowed 69 rushing yards for the rest of the game. Hugh Freeze said after the game that the run defense is somewhere he hoped to see improvement going forward. It was a question mark coming into this game as Auburn hadn’t been sure if it had a good run offense or bad rush defense.But the secondary and pass rush were great. Auburn didn’t allow UMass to break the 100 passing yards mark until late in the third quarter. Auburn had for sacks and seven tackles for loss.
Though Auburn’s returners were the most notable part of the special teams. Brian Battie had 86 kick return yards including a long return for 38 yards on the opening kickoff.
