Embarrassment.
That’s the only word that summarizes the Tigers’ 2018 28-9 loss to the Bulldogs. Gus Malzahn said reflected on last year’s loss Tuesday stating, “they embarrassed us last year. They just lined up and whipped us.”
It’s true. The Bulldogs held the Tigers to 90 rushing yards and Anders Carlson’s leg was Auburn’s player of the game. The defining moment of terror for the Tigers came when JaTarvious Whitlow rushed for 42 yards only to fumble in the end zone. The ball was recovered by Mississippi State for a touch back and the nightmare continued for Auburn.
