Look, we could all call a spade a spade. In this instance, that means accepting the fact that Auburn football has not had the greatest (pandemic-affected) season. The Tigers have had some disappointing performances–whether in a win or a loss.
Teams that should have been dominated (Kentucky, Arkansas, Ole Miss) were narrowly defeated, while Gus Malzahn’s squad has been caught on their toes on two different occasions in somewhat embarrassing fashion this year.
That includes one of the all-time bad losses the program has suffered in recent history to Will Muschamp’s South Carolina Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC.
