It’s easy to be critical in three situations: after the first game of the season, after a loss and after a win.
So in other words, anytime. But it’s especially easy to nit-pick after a Week 1 game like the one Auburn played Saturday in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The good news for Auburn and its fans is that the Tigers won the game.
Sometimes wins bring out the more pertinent areas of concern than losses do. This might be one of those cases. Sorting through the team’s issues is easier to stomach after a victory against a top-10 team than after a loss against anyone.
