Over the last two weeks, Auburn scored just six second-half points (not including overtime) on 14 possessions, averaging 0.29 points per drive after halftime. 🏈
The issue has been a lingering one for Auburn, which trudged through the back stretch of last season with a meandering second-half offense in its final five SEC games, beginning with its last win of 2021 — almost 11 months ago against Ole Miss.
This season was supposed to be a fresh start for Auburn’s offense in Year 2 under head coach Bryan Harsin. Instead, it has been more of the same results for a unit that has been among the worst all-around in the country through four weeks. How ineffective has Auburn’s offense been the last two weeks after halftime? Scoring issues aside, the Tigers have managed just 3.84 yards per play after halftime in those two games, averaging just 1.16 yards per carry and going a combined 2-of-17 on third-down attempts. The Tigers have punted nine times -- going three-and-out on six of those drives -- committed two turnovers, turned it over on downs on two other second-half drives and scored just once in the second half against those teams.
It’s clear Harsin and Kiesau need to make better halftime adjustment to put the offense in better position to succeed in the second half, and the embattled second-year head coach agreed they need to do better at getting the ball into the hands of Auburn’s top playmakers. Either way, the Tigers need to do something to remedy their second-half issues if they want to be competitive in SEC play.
