The Auburn offense could only muster 3 points in the first half against Texas A&M, and that came on a 51-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter to cut the deficit to 6-3 at the half.

As bad as it was in the first half, it only got worse in the the third quarter.

The Tigers were absolutely dominated in the third quarter, as they were outscored 14-0. Auburn ran 10 total plays in the third, and got 2 yards. The Aggies, on the other hand, ran 17 plays for 146 yards.

Texas A&M averaged 8.6 yards, compared to the 0.2 for the Tigers.

Quarterback Payton Thorne is 5-of-11 for 46 yards overall, and he has been sacked 6 times by the Texas A&M defense. Offensive struggles have been an issue this season for Auburn.

In the team’s only other game against a Power 5 team, the Tigers scored only 14 points against California 2 weeks ago.

The Texas A&M defense has had its struggles this year, and the next 2 teams on Auburn’s schedule are Georgia and LSU. This offense has a long ways to go, and it’s only going to get tougher the next couple of weeks.
