Despite the skies, and Auburn’s defense, parting on Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium, the Auburn Tigers righted the ship in week three against the New Mexico Lobos.
After suffering one of the worst loses of the Hugh Freeze era in week two against Cal, the Tigers bounced back with an emphatic, although nerve-wracking at times, 45-19 blowout victory over Mountain West opponent New Mexico. Auburn’s offense found new life in freshman quarterback Hank Brown’s first career start. While the Nashville, Tennessee native looked overwhelmed at times, Brown was ultimately calm, cool, and collected on his way to 235 passing yards and 4 touchdowns.
While the Tigers won the football game, Auburn’s defensive unit did not play its best game, but Eugene Asante and company were good enough to hold off a very solid Lobos attack led by star quarterback Devin Dampier. The Auburn family, while happy with Hank Brown’s performance, was not thrilled with the defensive effort. The talk on X (formerly Twitter) would almost lead one to believe the Tigers lost. Here is a look at the best social media reactions to Auburn’s win against New Mexico on Saturday.
The savior?
Anyone else ready to die for Hank Brown?

Not Great, Ronald!
Auburn defense looks a lot like the Braves offense.
Historically good/decent but bad this year.

That seems a bit harsh
This is without a doubt, hands-down, the worst Auburn defense I believe I’ve ever seen!

Hank Brown may actually be the best QB of my lifetime.

Two ends of the sword
I am once again convinced that Auburn wins 9 games this year. Should’ve been 10 but we pooped all over ourselves against Cal.
