Tide too much for Tigers

Auburn struggled to capitalize on four Alabama turnovers and managed just six points in a 28-14 loss to the No. 13 Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. Although the Tigers came close to scoring on several occasions, missed opportunities hampered their performance, culminating in a disappointing 5-7 season finish. Alabama used its rushing game effectively, particularly Jalen Milroe, who scored three rushing touchdowns, while Auburn might have had a better chance with stronger offensive execution in key moments.

Through the numbers

• Auburn scored just 6 points on 4 Alabama turnovers.
• Jalen Milroe had 3 rushing touchdowns while Thorne passed for 301 yards and 1 touchdown with 1 interception.

Yes but

Despite the turnovers, the inability to capitalize on those opportunities reflects deeper problems in Auburn’s offensive strategy and execution under pressure.

state of affairs

• Auburn’s season ends with a record of 5-7.
• Alabama strengthens its playoff position with a win and shows effective rushing plays.

What’s next?

Auburn will likely need to rethink and improve its offensive strategies before next season to avoid similar disappointments.

Conclusion

To remain competitive in the SEC, Auburn will need to capitalize on key scoring opportunities and improve its offensive execution going forward.
