Another game against a quality opponent, another numbing loss for Auburn under Bryan Harsin.

The frustrations continue to multiply for Auburn, as the program’s downward trend under the embattled second-year coach continues to spiral. The latest, a 32-point loss to rival and defending national champion Georgia. The Bulldogs bullied the Tigers, 42-10, between the hedges Saturday — Auburn’s sixth consecutive loss in the series and its eighth in a row in Athens, Ga.

What Bryan Harsin said about Auburn’s blowout loss to Georgia

Auburn is now 3-3 overall at the midway point of its schedule and just 1-2 in SEC play. The Tigers are 9-10 under Harsin since he took over the program, losing nine of their 13 games against Power 5 competition. It’s a record that has only gotten worse this season with losses to Penn State, LSU and now Georgia. Saturday’s loss was another distressing setback for the program, which has taken a clear step back in Year 2 under Harsin, only widening the chasm between Auburn and its rivals at the top of the league.

As Auburn looks to regroup heading into the second half of the season, let’s reflect on the team’s lopsided loss to Georgia with a position-by-position report card from Saturday’s action in Athens, Ga.:

Quarterback: F

Robby Ashford’s first road start provided a rude awakening against one of the nation’s best defenses. The third-year freshman completed just 13-of-38 passes — 34.2 percent, the worst single-game completion percentage for the Tigers since the 2012 Iron Bowl — for 165 yards (4.34 yards per attempt, the worst single-game mark for Auburn since last year’s loss to Texas A&M) and a touchdown, which came in the fourth quarter with Georgia firmly in front. He also ran nine times for a team-high 52 yards but committed the team’s lone turnover — a second-quarter fumble on a third-down keeper in which he seemingly just dropped the ball, untouched, before Georgia recovered.

Running backs: D

This grade is propped up by Jarquez Hunter’s touchdown in the fourth quarter. He caught a short pass from Ashford, spun through three would-be tacklers near midfield and raced 62 yards for Auburn’s only touchdown of the game. Outside of that play, though, Auburn’s running backs couldn’t do much of anything against Georgia. Hunter had five carries for 20 yards and three receptions for 83 yards, while Tank Bigsby mustered 19 yards on 10 carries and added 10 receiving yards on two catches.

Wide receivers: F

It was a quiet night for Auburn’s receivers, who combined for three receptions for 50 yards. Ja’Varrius Johnson had a 20-yard reception on five targets. Ze’Vian Capers caught one pass for 16 yards, while Koy Moore had one 14-yard catch on four targets. The Tigers’ receivers were targeted 18 times Saturday, making just three catches. It’s not all on the receivers; Ashford’s accuracy was an issue on several throws, and Auburn just needs to generally do a better job of getting its playmakers the ball in space. It couldn’t do that Saturday, again.

Tight ends: D

Auburn’s most consistent weapon in the passing game was tight end John Samuel Shenker, though that’s not saying much. The sixth-year senior had five catches for 32 yards on eight targets, and two of them resulted in first downs. Shenker also became Auburn’s career leader in receptions by a tight end (65) and moved into third place on the tight end receiving yards list (750). A small consolation for the veteran on a nightmare day for Auburn’s offense.

Offensive line: F

Auburn center Brandon Council said earlier in the week that he believed Auburn “could demolish” Georgia’s defensive front when the teams met in Week 6. Instead, it was the Tigers who were dismantled up front at Sanford Stadium. Auburn again couldn’t get any push from the line, as the run game continued to struggle. The Tigers finished with 93 rushing yards and just 3.7 yards per carry. While the line did not allow a sack, and Georgia had just two tackles behind the line of scrimmage, Ashford was under constant pressure in the pocket throughout the game and was forced to scramble and often throw the ball away to avoid negative plays. Penalties were also an issue along the line, between some false starts and holding calls.

Defensive line: C-

Auburn’s defensive front was effective early and kept the game close in the first half. The Bulldogs’ only two scores before halftime came on short fields, which put the defense at a disadvantage. Still, Derick Hall, Colby Wooden and Co. got after it early and kept Georgia’s offense in relative check — even while having some issues against the run game. Wooden even came up with a fumble recovery on the opening drive of the third quarter, setting up Auburn’s offense in the red zone, but the Tigers couldn’t capitalize and had to settle for a field goal that kept Georgia’s advantage at two scores. There was only so much the Tigers could withstand before the levee broke in the second half, as Georgia racked up 500 yards of offense and nearly 300 yards and six scores on the ground.

Linebackers: D

Owen Pappoe led the team with eight tackles, while Wesley Steiner added six of his own, but it’s a tough look any time a team racks up the rushing yards like Georgia did Saturday. The Bulldogs finished with 292 yards on the ground and six touchdowns, averaging 7.9 sack-adjusted rushing yards per attempt. That’s the most Auburn’s defense has given up in a game since 2015 against LSU, and the six touchdowns on the ground are the most by an Auburn opponent since Texas A&M in 2012.

Defensive backs: C-

Credit to Auburn’s secondary for the job it did in the first half, when Stetson Bennett completed just 7-of-13 passes for 25 yards. The Tigers’ effectiveness defending the pass stymied the Bulldogs’ efforts early on, even with Georgia moving the ball with relative ease on the ground. The second half was a different story, though: Bennett completed 15-of-19 passes for 183 yards, finishing the game completing 69 percent of his attempts. It’s the fifth time in the last two seasons that Auburn has allowed an opponent to complete at least 69 percent of its passes.

Special teams: D

Oscar Chapman continued to boom it, averaging 44.7 yards on a season-high nine punts. He placed one of them inside the 20-yard line and had two exceed 50 yards. Auburn’s coverage unit, which had been among the best in the country entering the game, fell off against Georgia, though. The Bulldogs’ Ladd McConkey had five punt returns for 53 yards, including a 38-yarder that set up Georgia’s second touchdown of the game. Then there’s the failed fake punt attempt in the first quarter, when Shenker was stopped short of the first-down marker, gifting Georgia a short field early on when neither offense could get much going. That failed fake proved to be a turning point in the game, and one that Auburn will surely regret.

Coaching: F

It seems like the 2012 team has been referenced regularly this season, and that’s never a good thing. This time, it was Auburn’s worst loss to Georgia since that 38-0 shutout in 2012. After the game, Harsin couldn’t find the answers—literally saying he didn’t know why Auburn’s offense has continued to regress under his watch. The 10 penalties for Auburn were a season-high, and the “freaking frustrating” discipline issues ultimately fall back to the coaches. The decision to call a fake punt in the first quarter felt desperate and was ultimately costly, shifting the game in Georgia’s favor after an early defensive struggle between the two rivals. At 9-10 at this point in Year 2, Harsin hasn’t shown much reason for hope that Auburn can turn things around under his watch, and it feels like time is winding down on his tenure with the program.
