Auburn fans panic on social media during weak first-half showing vs. Cal
Auburn fans aren’t exactly optimistic following the way the team has opened the first half against Cal.
The Tigers were favored over the Golden Bears heading into this one, especially considering the upside and bright spots that quarterback Payton Thorne has shown. But this looks to be anyone’s game for the time being as the Tigers trail at home, 14-7, at halftime.
Auburn attempted to lessen the deficit with a 61-yard field goal attempt to end the second quarter, but it was no good.
Several have taken to social media with their disdain for the way things have gone so far in what was originally deemed to be one of the Tigers’ easier games on the schedule:

Cal is making Auburn look like Alabama A&M in our stadium! Am I missing something? How has our D not changed and how has hugh not done something different

Auburn defense can’t pass rush, can’t cover receivers, can’t pass, can’t catch, can’t run block.
What CAN Auburn do correctly?!

This isn’t the only game that has gone not at all as expected, with one of the biggest storylines of Saturday presenting itself in Penn State’s narrow 34-27 win over the Bowling Green Falcons, who nearly crashed the Nittany Lions’ home-opener before the comeback saved an upset from happening.
Whether or not Auburn will be as lucky remains to be seen for the next two quarters of the game. The second half of the game between the Tigers and Golden Bears can be seen on ESPN2.
AU has time to win this game, and I think they will. They are a couple of years from being a title contender but if Freeze keeps recruiting like he is they are going to be in the mix every year.

Why?
That is absolutely a loser comment.
Typical oskie, they don’t come any more classless than it…
Not following why this is upsetting. I didn’t cheer for Palestine
You not understanding your own comment is so telling. Not quite as significant as using 9/11 in a joke but getting on par. You embarrass the Vols.
I don’t like Palestine but I’m not cheering p1ssrael after what they did to our country
Freeze is too stubborn and could take a page from Sabans plan when he benched Milroe. Sticking with swaggerless Thorne for this entire game is absolutely inexcusable. Hank has some swagger and some swagger is required for a top QB.
Thorne hasn’t had a chance, what happened to the Auburn O-line? They look terrible
Never mind, that was a terrible interception he just threw.
Ha ha – no doubt!!!!
Defense stepped up in the 2nd half thankfully, albeit against an injured Cal offense. But we just couldn’t keep him away from the field — Peyton Thorne: football terrorist.
It was clear early on that when Cal brought pressure our left and right tackles could not block. All that pressure made our Qb a Thorne in our side.
