For fans, the struggles of the 2015 season have usually been on a game-by-game basis, limited to why they believed Auburn lost ‘that’ game instead of questions regarding the scope of the program. That isn’t to say all fans were so limited as many fans had concerns about the program as early as the Louisville game. Why did Jeremy Johnson never look like the the quarterback that was sold to Auburn fans. Why did an apparent great hire in the offseason seem to have had little effect on the on-field product?
While specific complaints about the loss at Arkansas are abundant, there is a sense among some that Auburn could be headed for another sobering season, likened to 2012.
