Justin and Dan break down what all went wrong for Auburn football in its disastrous fourth quarter against Oklahoma on Saturday.
They look at the inexplicable decision-making on offense that opened the door for the Sooners to make their improbable comeback and how the Tigers continue to find ways to lose winnable games. Justin makes a point about how it felt like Auburn got too tense down the stretch. Dan looks back at the first-half missed opportunities.
The guys also look at the positives from the performance, including a youth movement on defense and Auburnâs ability to actually move the ball well against a strong opponent. They also point to the special teams errors throughout the game before wrapping up with a recap of a wild Week 5 in college football.

Justin and Dan open the show with their big-picture view of Auburn footballâs 24-14 loss to Arkansas â the second time this month that the Tigers have lost to a team they beat on the road last season. Justin makes a point about recruiting. Dan looks at the lack of forward progress.
Then the guys do their usual offense and defense breakdowns, starting with an attack that turned the ball over five times and made a switch from Hank Brown back to Payton Thorne at quarterback. Then itâs a look at a defense that played well enough to win in a lot of areas, with the gigantic exception of the most important downs.
The episode ends with a journey through the Week 4 results across college football and a discussion of bands that were more than just their one or two well-known hits. Basketball practice starts this week, by the way.

In the second half of the show, the guys look at what was a rough overall night from an Auburn defense that had too many penalties and mental mistakes.
