GAME RECAP: Auburn 42, Mercer 16

Auburn began the 2022 season unconventionally, with a lengthy weather delay, but we gave ‘em something to talk about as the quarterback situation will continue to brew into subsequent weeks as the Tigers dispatched Mercer 42-10.

T.J. Finley threw two interceptions in the first half in his first game after being announced as the starter, and Robby Ashford showed flashes in both the run and pass game to get extensive playing time down the stretch. Due to the 1:28 weather delay splitting the third quarter, it was difficult to ascertain exactly how things were going, but Ashford certainly looked better tonight.
