Kirk Herbstreit high on Auburn after Penn State loss, still not picking Tigers over Tide
Published:
Kirk Herbstreit joined “The Paul Finebaum Show” Tuesday evening on the SEC Network and the ESPN College Football analyst said he has been impressed by the Auburn Tigers (2-1) through 3 games this season.
No. 23 Auburn lost Saturday night in Happy Valley to No. 6 Penn State (3-0) in a hectic ‘White Out’ environment. Despite the 28-20 loss for the Tigers, Herbstreit came away impressed. Although, he still isn’t ready to pick Auburn over No. 1 Alabama (3-0) in this year’s installment of The Iron Bowl:
“I’m not saying ‘look out Alabama in the Iron Bowl,’ but I liked what I saw from Auburn in that tough environment at Penn State.”

Auburn plays host to Georgia State (1-2) of the Sun Belt Conference this week with kickoff set for 4 p.m. ET at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The Tigers play Alabama on Nov. 27 in Auburn, but they’ll play 4 teams ranked in this week’s AP Poll before hosting the Crimson Tide.
