Auburn 35, San Jose State 21

Rushing for all five of the Tigers’ touchdowns Saturday, Barber led them to a 35-21 non-conference win over San Jose State at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. “I felt that the keys to the game were that the defense forced four turnovers and gave the offense a few short fields”.

“Some things we can build upon, and we can get a few guys healed up”. But the Spartans coughed the ball up four times, three coming in the first half, and the mistakes were too much to overcome. He collected a 2-yard touchdown with just under 5 minutes left, which pulled the Spartans within 28-21. The Tigers are 20-point favorites and won last season’s meeting 59-13, but that Auburn team was ranked fifth.

Despite this unwillingness to find success in the vertical passing game, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn nearly stubbornly stressed he continues to have confidence in White’s ability to execute a deep passing attack. “This game was one that kind of slipped away from us”.

In the span of a week, Auburn has turned Sean White from “program changer” to the game manager.

San Jose traveled to Auburn looking for a win, but weren’t able to come up with one. “We had a few good momentum, but a few things just didn’t happen to go our way”. They try to get back over.

His second pick came late in the fourth quarter, when the Spartans were trailing 35-21 and needing a touchdown to produce any semblance of a comeback.

“I think we’re continuing to climb the mountain”, Caragher said.

San Jose State has started quarterbacks Joe Gray and Kenny Potter two games each, with Gray listed as the starter for this one. “I told them that we have taken another step, and it didn’t show up in the final score or the win-loss”.
