Auburn DC Ron Roberts responds to criticism of defense vs. Georgia’s Brock Bowers

Auburn defensive coordinator Rob Roberts took to social media Saturday following Auburn’s 27-20 loss to No. 1 Georgia to respond to a fan who was frustrated with the way the Tigers played.

A college football fan posted on “X,” the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to point out the lack of success against Georgia’s Brock Bower.

“Yet we didn’t double/bracket this guy,” the fan posted in reference to the Georgia tight end’s eight catches for 157 yards and a score.

Roberts reposted with the comment with his own analysis.

“Don’t know what game you we’re watching! He was bracketed most of the day,” he said in response.

Auburn defensive coordinator responded to fan criticism on social media Saturday, Sept. 30, following the Tigers’ loss to No. 1 Georgia.

With Georgia’s No. 1 ranking and lengthy winning streak on the line, Brock Bowers caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Carson Beck in the final minutes of the win over Auburn.

The Bulldogs made it the Beck-and-Bowers show in the fourth to bail out of another slow start and SEC scare. Georgia has won 22 in a row. Bowers had four catches for 121 yards in the fourth quarter and Beck passed for 313 yards, most of it in the second half.
