This game is definitely like when the class all failed a test, and you walk in the next day and your teacher is sitting on his desk with his head bowed. Then when you all sit, he starts “Never, in my fifteen years of teaching, have I seen a class perform this poorly...” then he hands back a bunch of F papers.
Unfortunately, this game was winnable for the Tigers, and that’ll make it all the worse because there weren’t many groups that performed atrociously (aside from the defensive line). With just a little bit better effort from around the field, Auburn is 6-3 with a top five win under its belt.
