Auburn has now done something that rarely has happened in the history of Tiger football, as today’s 17-13 loss to Houston in the Birmingham Bowl gave Bryan Harsin a five-game losing streak to finish up 2021. This last happened in 2012, 1999, and it’s something that not even Doug Barfield managed to accomplish.
The Tigers’ last win came over Ole Miss just before Halloween, and Auburn controlled its SEC destiny at that point before the wheels came off. Still, Auburn led in every game during that stretch aside from the loss at Texas A&M, and had chances to win each and every one.
