The first half stats were depressing. San Jose State had more yards through the air and on the ground. They had almost twice the Time Of Possession. However, because of the -3 in the turnover margin, the Tigers were leading 21-7 at the half.
It was strange to see. Auburn's offense looked anemic at times. Bad plays and questionable play calls put the Tigers behind the chains a number of times. There were a few explosive plays and great field position on the turnovers that gave the Tigers the opportunities to score.
There were some fantastic plays, though.
