For most everyone, it has been a very busy month, thanks to the holidays. After Auburn’s indescribable offensive meltdown on the heels of yet another Sean White injury in Auburn’s first Sugar Bowl appearance since 2005, many Auburn fans mentally checked out from college football.
It is understandable. Auburn’s last two seasons have been far from satisfactory. And the last three games of this season undid all of the good will that a six-game winning streak bought for head coach Gus Malzahn.
Perhaps that is why this morning’s news that Rhett Lashlee was leaving Auburn and heading to UConn was not a total surprise.
