The Auburn Observer

Justin, Dan and Painter share all of their thoughts on Auburn football’s heartbreaking late loss to Alabama in the 2023 Iron Bowl.

The guys spend the first hour looking back at what went down in Jordan-Hare Stadium, from the fourth-and-31 defensive call and the muffed punt return to the ways the Tigers showed they were up for a real test with the Crimson Tide. They look at how Auburn’s rushing attack soared and how the passing game needs to make some much-needed improvements this offseason.

The last half-hour of the show is a lookahead to Auburn basketball’s SEC/ACC Challenge matchup against a strong Virginia Tech team and a quick spin around an already-wild coaching carousel in college football.

Justin, Dan and Painter recap Auburn football’s shocking 21-point loss to New Mexico State and Auburn basketball’s back-to-back double-digit wins at the Legends Classic in Brooklyn.

The guys discuss how the Tigers were thoroughly beaten in all three phases against the fearless Aggies. They talk about how the embarrassing loss might not mean much in the long-term picture of the program — but it could, depending on how Auburn responds this week in the Iron Bowl and how it enters a huge offseason.

Justin and Painter close the episode with their thoughts on Auburn basketball’s wins over Notre Dame and Saint Bonaventure at Barclays Center. Justin shares his perspective from the action in NYC, while Painter explains why the first two weeks have shifted his view of the team.

Justin, Painter and Dan break down what they saw in Auburn football’s two-touchdown road win at Vanderbilt.

The guys start with a look at a truly dominant defensive performance led by a season-best showing from the front and more standout play in the secondary. Justin and Dan run through the most impressive numbers from that side of the ball.

They switch over to the offensive side, where Auburn overcame a rough success rate showing by racking up some points through explosive plays. Painter gives his take on Payton Thorne and the near-future of the Tigers at quarterback.

The episode ends with a shoutout to Auburn fans’ takeover of Vanderbilt’s under-construction stadium and a small preview of the basketball opener against Baylor.

Justin, Dan and Painter break down Auburn football’s 27-13 win over Mississippi State. They start with a look at a very different-looking performance from Payton Thorne, Philip Montgomery and the rest of Auburn’s offense in a game that the Tigers needed to help their bowl chances.

The guys look at what’s gotten into Jarquez Hunter over the last couple of weeks and project how sustainable this offense could look over the next several games. They also give their thoughts on Auburn playing a much more conservative brand of football in the second half and how it’s not as huge of the deal as fans might think.

The episode ends with a look at an Auburn defense that keeps finding ways to string together stops, even when things aren’t always clicking on that side of the ball. Happy early Halloween, everyone.
