Five winners from Auburn's loss to Texas A&M /

In this story:

Auburn had a rough showing against the Texas A&M Aggies, leaving fans upset with the offense, but there were some players that had good showings.

The defense played well as a whole against the Aggies but was just worn down too much, and Texas A&M was able to break through.

This was a painful loss, but Auburn will be okay, and fans need to trust what Coach Hugh Freeze is building on the Plains.

Let's take a look at five winners from Auburn's 27-10 loss to the Texas A&M Aggies.

Holden Geriner

Holden Geriner did get in the football game late, but that is not the reason he was a winner in this game. Geriner was a winner because the poor quarterback play has him in a position where the fan base wants him quarterbacking the Tigers. The offense was so putrid against the Aggies that Geriner deserves a chance to get the offense going in a better direction.

Brian Battie

Brain Battie led the Auburn Tigers in receiving and rushing in this ball game. The USF transfer had 59 yards on the ground and 23 yards through the air. In his short time playing for the Auburn Tigers, Battie has shown burst and elusiveness. With Damari Alston going down in this game, Battie stepped into a bigger role and looked good doing it for the Tigers. Battie is putting the staff in a position where they need to get him the ball more.

Alex McPherson

Alex McPherson hit a long field goal in this ball game for the Tigers and also made his lone extra point. He drilled a 53-yarder that would have been good from a few yards back. The young kicker has yet to miss a kick this season. McPherson might follow in his brothers' footsteps and kick in the NFL sooner than later. If this happens, we need to consider Auburn Kicker U.

Career-long field goal for Alex McPherson!

Eugene Asante

Eugene Asante once again had a big game for the Tigers, leading Auburn in tackles, and took a fumble 67 yards to the house. Asante was even able to juke out one of the best tacklers in the SEC, Jimbo Fisher. Asante has been the MVP of this Auburn football team so far and has done everything he can to make this team successful. It's safe to say Asante has made himself some money so far this season.

Oscar Chapman

Oscar Chapman had a good day punting the football and was able to go get a ball that was snapped over his head and still delivered a solid kick. Having a good punter is a big deal, and the Tigers have one of the best in the conference in Chapman. He is definitely a guy who could punt at the next level.
