Here are three takeaways from Auburn’s loss to Texas A&M:

Auburn electric on offense start to the game

The Tigers offense wasted no time scoring the game’s first points three and a half minutes into the contest.

Payton Thorne and Cam Coleman picked up where they left off from last week’s performance against ULM, connecting on two first half touchdowns for 63 and 15 yards.

The Tigers 240 total yards of offense in the first half saw the offense average 9.2 yards per play. They started the game two-for-for in the redzone and did not punt the ball away up until late in the second quarter.

Thorne misfired on just two passes through the first two quarters finishing with 301 yards through the air and two touchdowns.

Aggies offense gets into a rhythm late against Tigers

Texas A&M scored its first touchdown with just about four minutes left on the clock during the second quarter. Despite leading the Tigers with more first downs in the first half, the Aggies only totaled 168 yards of offense.

Auburn sacked Reed three times and he was picked off by Jerrin Thompson for the games only turnover.

The Aggies marched down the field 76-yards for a score in the opening drive of the second half cutting their deficit to just a touchdown. In their next series, Reed connected with Noah Brown for his second touchdown tying up the score 21-21.

After cutting the Tigers lead to four points in the fourth, Texas A&M took its first lead of the game after an eight-yard rushing touchdown from Amari Daniels.
