Hey, it’s behind us, and the record is unblemished.
Auburn beat San Jose State 24-13 tonight at Jordan-Hare Stadium to improve to 2-0 and set up a meeting with undefeated Penn State next weekend. It didn’t come easily tonight, as the Tigers looked uninspired, bored, and sloppy in a victory over the Spartans.
The Tigers trailed 10-7 at halftime, and had 8 penalties in the opening half coupled with a pair of turnovers (interceptions from each T.J. Finley and Robby Ashford). After halftime, the Tigers put together some more impressive drives that put the game away, but there will be much to improve upon before the Nittany Lions come in a week from today.
