ALERT: Auburn Crushes Ball State – Can This Defense Carry the Season? PART 1 I Auburn Football Podcast


Listen Later

Auburn fans got exactly what they wanted on defense but left the stadium still asking questions about the offense. Inside Jordan-Hare Stadium, the Tigers dominated Ball State in a 42-3 blowout, and yet the conversation after the game had less to do with the win and more to do with how the offense looked.

The Auburn defense, led by DJ Durkin’s group, absolutely swarmed Ball State, holding them to negative rushing yards and just three total points. In reality, Auburn pitched a shutout with the scoreboard reading Auburn 42, Ball State 0 – the officials spotted Ball State a field goal. It was the bounce-back performance Auburn needed after a shaky opener against Baylor. Players like Sylvester Smith stood out, flying around the football and setting the tone with physical play.

On the offensive side, the focus was on developing the passing attack. Quarterback Jackson Arnold completed 24 of 28 passes, continuing to prove doubters wrong with efficiency and confidence. Wide receiver Cam Coleman hauled in 7 catches for 77 yards, while Jeremiah Cobb powered the run game with over 100 yards and multiple touchdowns. Still, fans expected a more explosive showing against Ball State, especially in the passing game, leaving room for debate about whether Auburn’s offense can keep pace with tougher SEC opponents.

Ultimately, this was a game about Auburn showing growth, staying healthy, and keeping most of its playbook hidden before conference play. The defense looks ready to lead the way, but all eyes remain on whether the offense can rise to the same level.
