Auburn football has had quite the start to their inaugural season under head coach Bryan Harsin. After knocking off the first two opponents by 50+ points, the Tigers took a tough defeat at Penn State as their first loss of the season.
Though Auburn football’s pass defense was lacking in their week three matchup, the Tigers held the Nittany Lions to just 386 yards. Sean Clifford and his offense were able to convert on only five of ten third downs and failed to convert on fourth down on both attempts.
Penn State’s run game was locked down by Auburn as well, totaling only 84 rushing yards and an average of 2.
