5 Things Auburn Football Did Wrong Against Texas A&M

Auburn football did not play their cleanest game on Saturday night, but there are five things that stood out which kept Auburn from beating Texas A&M.

After playing a nearly perfect game against Arkansas State last weekend, Auburn football fell back into their old routine against Texas A&M Saturday night in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Gus Malzahn went back to the basics against Arkansas State on offense and put up over 700 yards. It looked like that momentum was going to roll over into the Texas A&M game, but he all of a sudden reverted back to his play-calling from the Clemson game.

The defense, which had been so good in the first two games, suddenly forgot how to tackle.

It’s very frustrating as an Auburn fan to see these inconsistencies on a team that should be much better than this.

Texas A&M is a good football team, but we have just as many good players on our team.

To me it comes down to coaching. I hate to be so hard on Gus Malzahn because I think he’s a great guy, but he’s being kind of stubborn.

He’s trying to overthink the offense instead of keeping it simple. Let Sean White run the plays he’s comfortable running.

Too many times against Texas A&M he took White out of rhythm with a long developing play. If you give him quick reads he’s really not a bad quarterback.

There are several things that go wrong when you lose, and we’ll take a look at five things Auburn football did wrong in their loss to Texas A&M.
