Robby Ashford threw a pair of interceptions in the loss to Ole Miss, while T.J. Finley lost a fumble on a strip-sack against the Rebels in Week 7. Ole Miss scored 14 points off those three Auburn turnovers, turning two of them into first-half touchdowns.
It’s the fifth time in seven games this season that Auburn has committed multiple turnovers and the third game in which the Tigers have turned the ball over at least three times. In all, Auburn has committed 16 turnovers this season and, combined with the defense’s five takeaways, Harsin’s team now boasts a minus-11 turnover margin that is the nation’s worst through Week 7. The Tigers’ 16 total turnovers are tied with Northwestern for second most among FBS teams, ahead of only Utah State’s 18.
Auburn last finished a season with a negative turnover margin in 2017, when it was minus-one on the year. Barring a significant turnaround over the final five regular-season games, Auburn will finish with its worst turnover margin in a decade; the 2012 team was minus-12 on the season while finishing with a 3-9 record.
Here’s a look at those numbers, as well as where Auburn ranks in various statistical categories -- both in the SEC and among all FBS teams -- as the Tigers hit the bye week:
