Doubt continues to be a defining characteristic of what outsiders feel about the upcoming 2021 season for Auburn football.
The Tigers have undergone more changes than any SEC team that finished in the conference’s top half last season. Bryan Harsin is the new head honcho after Gus Malzahn was shown the door, and every coach but Cadillac Williams was replaced on the staff.
It’s understandable to not project an overwhelming improvement over the 6-4 SEC-only regular-season slate that ended in a blowout loss in the Citrus Bowl to a far superior opponent from the Big Ten in Northwestern.
