This is supposed to be all about the Auburn game, but it feels like there is no way to approach it without it becoming a postmortem on the 2019 season. Very little that happened in the game, good or bad, was terribly surprising. We’ve known for some time that this team had warts on defense and an offense that would hopefully be good enough to win shootouts.
For that reason, we also said that Tua Tagovailoa was the one player whose loss would signal the end of the season. Sadly, that turned out to be true despite Mac Jones waltzing into Auburn and playing better than most Alabama fans thought he could if they are being honest with themselves.
