Lackluster Auburn offense draws heavy criticism in loss at Florida
Auburn’s offense quickly drew criticism in the loss to Florida as the Tigers opened the game with two punts, two field goals and an interception.
QB Bo Nix was under heavy pressure most of the game, and Auburn struggled to develop a running game, something coach Gus Malzahn mentioned at halftime on the Auburn radio broadcast.
“We need to do something offensively,” Malzahn said. “We got to establish the run and get some first downs to help (the defense) out. The bottom line is we’ve got to run the football if we’re going to win this game. So we’re going to establish, our quarterback, we got to get our third down conversions and get us into some pace so we have a chance to get some rhythm.”
Not much of that materialized after halftime as Auburn struggled on third down and establishing the run. The Tigers were 2-for-14 on third down and Nix threw three interceptions.

How shitty was Auburn’s offense today? Imagine your defense producing four(!) turnovers and still losing a game. #AUBvsUF

Should have never given up 50 something points to this abysmal Auburn offense. Hopefully our defense drastically improves over this bye week.

This is what happens Auburn when you force your defense to be on the field all game, and do NOTHING to help your offense with different personnel or play calling. This loss is not just on Bo Nix, it’s on Gus for not pulling him out of the damn game.

Auburn’s offense was flat out bad today. Offensive line was bad, coaching was bad, Bo Nix was bad. Defense did everything it could to keep us in the game. Good win for Florida. #WarEagle

Bo Nix is losing this game for us. Defense is getting turnovers and offense can’t put points on the board. Brown for a while had more yards than we had rushing

The barn played nobody all year so far. UF sucks and still managed to beat them.
Do the world a favor bud. Wait till bammer plays someone with a pulse before you troll all over the site. Start calling ya’ll Little Debbie with all the cupcakes bammer eats this time of year. Putting on that weight, careful of that Diabetuus….
@slak: Do you recall the scores below? If not I will remind you, those are the results of the last 5 games Bama and Florida played and please believe that the owner of all those L’s is your beloved gators. Just keep this in mind before shooting off at the mouth about the team that owns Florida.
2016: L 16 – 54
2015: L 15 – 29
2014: L 21 – 42
2011: L 10 – 38……In Gainsville!
2010: L 6 – 31
You can hang your hat on the past all you want friend.Its what ol’bammer does best. Fact is, y’all aint played anybody with a pulse yet.
I hate band wagon fans worse than bama fans. Go cheer for somebody else you losers!
@AuburnKev: So you hate your owner…WOW!
LOL!!!
RTR!
Oregon and T A&M, and the hype goes through the roof. First good defense they run into and the Gusbus gets stuck in the mud.
It’s almost like the Media is constantly teasing the Auburn fans with the almost yearly hype…
This is the same Auburn we saw last year. Weak O-line, and they still can’t run the ball. The “legend of Bo Nix” was premature.
@Tim Rupert; And Georgia is still stuck on 1980.
Dude-seriously? I have not encountered one UGA fan who won’t admit (for obvious reasons) Bama has had our number. Good grief. Unless you’re a unicorn (i.e. an Auburn and Bama fan), I’m not real sure about the point of your post. Yup-UGA hasn’t managed to bring it home since 1980. Yawn—eye roll.
As a gator that is fair I feel like Mullen owes this man an apology. First off it wasn’t his fault and def not a dirty play. Secondly, idk who else saw it but this young man came up to Trask and gave him what seemed like a very sincere apology. And from what I saw Trask accepted the apology and moved started laughing with him. Man has no need to feel ashamed
Where is wareagle342,He needs to Show up on SDS and eat his crow,He predicted a 39-19 Wareagle victory.
Let’s get one thing straight, Auburn wasn’t going to the playoffs this year. The early predictions were an 8-4 record and that looks about right. We have a freshman QB who occasionally plays like it, but is improving.
Alabama, Georgia and LSU are all playing on a different level this year and all should arguably (at the moment) be in the top 4. We could’ve won the Florida game, but just didnt play that well, as everyone saw.
Everone calm down, there are no surprises here. You “fire Gus” fans need to get a clue and take a long hard look at Tennessee and a quite frankly, long stretches at Florida as well. We’ve got a couple of good years of Bo Nix ahead of us as a Junior and Senior, so just chill.
Finally-a level headed Auburn fan. Y’all are not complete garbage, your QB shows tons of promise, and you played an insane Defense courtesy of the Gators. Auburn came into the season under the radar and as soon as y’all started winning some games, I suppose a lot of your fan base drank the media Kool Aid. We are all just one game away from a loss (Clemson and Bama included). Auburn is still a good team and, if your D shows up along with some decent O, will challenge LSU in a good game.
