Twitter hammers Auburn’s defense after giving up 438 yards to Jacksonville State

Whew!

No. 6 Auburn nearly became the first major upset in college football against FCS level Jacksonville State. Although the Tigers won 27-20, it’s clear there are issues on both sides of the ball Gus Malzahn and Will Muschamp have to fix.

Although Jeremy Johnson looked very iffy again, Muschamp’s defense took the brunt of the criticism on Twitter.

Auburn's defense gave up 500 yards today. JSU were awesome. They could've won. Great day for the underdog.

Auburn has been poor on defense first two games.

I like Auburn just fine, but after the 1st 2 weeks of the season, I'm wondering how Will Muschamp got his rep for fantastic defense?!?

Who else wants to go in the Auburn locker room and yell at some people? We played horrible on offense and defense. EMBARRASSING

Lol auburn's defense is jumping around like they beat a big team, sit down child's play #disgraceofthestate

Auburn is not beating LSU in Death Valley. Auburns defense is weak versus read options. And their QB is the biggest liability on the field.

Auburn has a trash defense

What we learned about Auburn: -Not a top 10, or possibly 15 team -Very vulnerable on defense -Lucky No way, they should've won that game!
