Auburn has a 20-0 lead over Alabama State at Jordan-Hare Stadium, but it hasn’t been a convincing showing for the Tigers offense against the Hornets.
Bo Nix is 8-of-16 passing with a touchdown to Demetris Robertson, but has managed just 75 yards with several key drops by wide receivers in the 1st half and also lost a fumble late in the 1st half. The Tigers have recorded just 161 yards of total offense as they were held to a pair of field goals on their first 2 drives before the touchdown pass to Robertson. Auburn’s special teams did block a punt for a touchdown later to open up a 20-0 lead, but went 3-and-out on the next drive and fumbled it to the Hornets after that.
Alabama State has a long way to go to get back into this one, but at least it has somewhat of an opening as the Tigers offense hasn’t been firing on all cylinders despite the special teams unit’s performance.
Here’s a sampling of some of the reactions during the 1st half:

Special teams gonna make this game look like Auburn has offense.

Bo Nix is back to being bad. WRs and RBs are dropping everything. Defense gets a penalty every other play.
My pessimism is back. I am scared for Penn State.

Safe to say the Bo Nix experience is over?

I will never forget when somebody on here called Bo Nix “Bo Pick 6”
