WATCH: TJ Finley makes joke on social media complaining about criticism over interceptions
Of all the problems down at Auburn this season, the issues at quarterback have been quite the storyline to follow. It started with TJ Finley, Zach Calzada was considered before his season-ending surgery, Holden Geriner has even seen a handful of snaps, and now Robby Ashford is the QB1 after that whirlwind of events. However, it looks like Finley is holding a grudge, whether it’s because of how he lost his starting job or the way he’s been portrayed in the media.
Finley posted a TikTok after Auburn’s third straight loss this weekend. It conveys a message that it isn’t fair that his turnover woes are weighted differently than those from the other Tiger quarterbacks.

It’s difficult to determine whether this is a subtle shot at Ashford after his pair of interceptions against Ole Miss on Saturday or the media for moving the goalposts per se when it comes to the importance of turnovers. With that said, Finley lost a fumble of his own against the Rebels after throwing four picks in his snaps earlier this season. He may have reason to be frustrated but, considering the position Auburn is in, content like this only adds more fuel to the fire that is the Tiger’s frustrating season so far.

Ole Miss rode a strong offensive performance to a 48-34 victory over Auburn at home on Saturday. However, after the game, the Rebels reminded the Tigers about another blowout loss earlier in the year.
Penn State also defeated Auburn this year, a 41-12 win on The Plains on Sept. 17. But the Tigers never posted the final score on their Twitter, so the Rebels took it upon themselves to make their own graphic with that score.
