The battle for the worst offense in the SEC has finally come to an end, as Auburn comes away with the victory. The Gators had Auburn pinned deep in their own territory and forced a punt, but returner Robert Clark muffed the punt and Auburn was able to recover the football and burn clock. The Tigers added a field goal to put the game to 17-6 and all the pressure on Florida's offense.
Florida's freshman quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel combined for 14 for 28 with 121 yards passing the ball and Brissett throwing an early interception. Florida's offense as a whole however, was awful. The Gators had 72 rushing yards for an average of just 2.4 yards per carry. Head Coach Will Muschamp becomes the first Florida coach since Charlie Pell (1979) to lose three SEC games in a row.

The Florida Gators and Auburn Tigers are in a battle, but it's not a pretty one. Through just over three quarters, Auburn has the lead, 14-7. But again, not pretty.
To recap: it took just about two and a half quarters for the Tigers and Gators to combine for 300 yards of total offense. Now, after stringing together a drive, Auburn has 246 yards of offense, with Florida still stuck in neutral at 141 yards -- 71 passing, 70 rushing.
Barrett Trotter threw for the first touchdown of the game, finding DeAngelo Benton for 25 yards and the score. After two Florida field goals, Onterio McCalebb carried the loading, running it in from 14 yards out.
Early in the fourth quarter, Auburn has the lead, 14-6. At least it's a close one!

Seriously, can't stress how better off you are to be reading the score of this game than you would be watching it. The Auburn Tigers lead the Florida Gators, 7-6, at the half, missing a chance to tack on three more at the end of the second quarter.
A slog through the box score, if we must: dueling youngsters Barrett Trotter and Jacoby Brissett have now combined to go seven of 19 for 78 yards. The shining star: Trey Burton, who completed his only effort for eight yards.
Chris Rainey has 42 total yards, Michael Dyer has rushed for 36, and very little else has happened.
While being interviewed by Holly Rowe before hitting the locker room, Florida coach Will Muschamp likened the game to 1985. Do with that what you will.

You didn't expect poetry when looking into the score of this game between the Florida Gators and Auburn Tigers, did you? Barrett Trotter and Jacoby Brissett have combined to go two-of-nine, Florida's averaging 2.3 yards per rush, six punts already, two Gators turnovers ... it's sort of a wonder Auburn only leads 7-0, but it's early.
Auburn's broken a handful of biggish plays, including 13-yard runs by Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb in addition to a 25-yard touchdown by DeAngelo Benton. Other than that, offense has not happened. The most exciting play so far was a fumble recovery for a touchdown that was ruled back due to fumble recovery rules. #fumberecoveryrules
Auburn and Florida are not known for playing beautiful games against each other. Nothing will change that.

Gators freshman quarterback Jacoby Brissett will make his second start against Auburn
over 1 year ago Update 0 comments
Friday, the Florida Gators announced freshman quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start his second straight game, confirming an earlier report. Jeff Driskel's injury has healed to the point that Charlie Weis has said both quarterbacks could be used against the Auburn Tigers, however.
To catch you up if you're just joining us, regular starter John Brantley was hurt against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Backup Driskel was also hurt against Bama. Brissett split snaps with versatile whosy whatsit Trey Burton last week against the LSU Tigers. It went about as well as could've been hoped.
The Auburn Tigers defense will prove a much more forgiving canvas for the youngster. While Alabama and LSU both rank in the top five of juuuust about any defensive metric you can calculate, Auburn ranks 105th in yards allowed per game. That cushy run defense will help take pressure off the young passer.
