It’s a shame that league expansion has changed some of the most historic rivalries in the SEC. One of the most exciting every year was the Auburn – Florida game. There have been so many extraordinary games in the series and today we look at another great one.
Auburn came into the contest on October 16, 1993, as a big underdog at home. The fourth-ranked Gators were expected to trounce over the upstart 19th ranked Tigers.
Few around the country believed that Auburn’s 6-0 record was for real. The victory marked a turning point in the season – others around the country started taking notice of this team and its young coach, Terry Bowden.
