CFB fans react to sloppy, ugly turnover-filled Auburn-Florida first half
By Andrew Olson
Published:
As the CBS 3:30 showcase contest, a top-10 showdown and the ESPN “College GameDay” host game, Auburn at Florida has a lot of people watching, and not just Tigers and Gators.
At the end of the first half, Florida leads Auburn 17-13. More than the scoring, college football fans are talking about how all the turnovers (3 by Florida, 2 by Auburn) made it an ugly first two quarters in The Swamp.
Here’s a small sample of what CFB fans are saying on Twitter:
Auburn and Florida playing so sloppy….great entertainment tho!

If this Florida/Auburn game was two big ten teams, we’d be hearing about how sloppy and bad the football is. Instead it’s the SEC so it’s a product of two amazing football teams.

Auburn has just 2 first downs, they are 1-7 on third down, and 2 turnovers.
Florida has 10 first downs, they are 2-6 on third down, and 3 turnovers.#Gators 17#Tigers 13

College football is so tough to watch! Gave Florida vs Auburn a try and every other play is a turnover. Terribly simple offenses and no one can complete a pass over 10 yards. Mind as well just watch the Canadian league

What's the SEC record for most turnovers by two teams in a half? Asking for Auburn and Florida.

This Florida-Auburn game is like “You get a turnover and you get a turnover.” #UF #Auburn pic.twitter.com/9gTp3HaX4P

3 turnovers, a failed fake punt (all resulting in Auburn starting drives in Florida territory), and down to our third-string QB because of injuries. I can’t believe Florida is still winning this game. #GoGators

Man this Florida-Auburn game has looked ugly so far. Five turnovers and Auburn is losing. Really thought this is a game they can win.

Story of this game so far:
Auburn has turned three takeaways into 6 points.
Florida has turned one takeaway into 7 points.Both defenses have been as advertised. This is an ugly, entertaining game.
