No team has committed more turnovers in a game than the five Auburn did in its 24-10 win over Mercer on Saturday.

Only four other FBS teams (Oregon State, Georgia State, San Jose State, Louisiana-Lafayette) have committed five turnovers in a game this season and none of them did so against an FCS opponent.

The four lost fumbles were Auburn's most since 2001 and five turnovers were its most since 2012 against Arkansas.

Auburn's eight turnovers this season is tied for 119th nationally and tied with Missouri for last in the SEC.

Besides the giveaways, Auburn saw statistical improvements offensively after its second 500-yard game of the season, particularly in the passing game, with Jarrett Stidham throwing for 364 yards.

The Auburn defense continues to be the strength of the team, ranking in the top 15 in rushing, passing, total and scoring defense.
