How’s that for a nice and easy season opener, huh?
We just never can make it easy when it comes to a football game. Add in the bugaboo of Mercedes-Benz Stadium and a nearly-year-long monkey that Auburn couldn’t shake, and there was no way that this game was going to be smooth or calming.
Auburn 21, Washington 16. In the end, the Tigers took care of business against a very good Husky squad that regrouped and showed us some extreme talent and grit in flinging their way around Auburn’s defense. In the end, both sides of the ball made their mark in the fourth quarter.
