If you read our staff predictions last Friday then you know I was not optimistic about Auburn’s chances Saturday. While I believed they were absolutely more talented than the Rebels, it just felt like this team was on the ropes and close to being knocked out for good this season. Coming off two straight losses, both to two of the worst teams in the conference, it just seemed unlikely this group would be able to rally and put together a strong showing on the road.
I was happy to be very wrong.
Despite what Kirk Herbstreit might have claimed Saturday morning on Gameday, this team has not quit.
