Auburn Stalls at Texas A&M as Penalties and 0-for-13 Third Downs Seal 16-10 Defeat

The Tigers enter a bye week at 3-2 with fixing pre-snap penalties viewed as the starting point for an offensive reset.

Overview

  • Auburn committed 10 penalties for 69 yards, including multiple pre-snap fouls that Hugh Freeze labeled unacceptable.
  • A 0-for-13 showing on third down and just 177 total yards marked the offense’s worst output of the Freeze era.
  • Quarterback Jackson Arnold was sacked five times, part of 14 sacks allowed in two SEC games, with late pressures stalling potential game-winning drives.
  • Auburn’s defense limited Texas A&M to 16 points and set up the lone touchdown with a fourth-quarter interception return, but the Aggies piled up 414 yards with 207 on the ground.
  • Le’Veon Moss rushed for 139 yards for Texas A&M as Auburn fell to 3-2 (0-2 SEC), extending a pattern of close losses under Freeze ahead of Georgia after the open week.
