Auburn dropped maybe the worst loss of the Gus Malzahn era yesterday to Tennessee, and serious questions have been cast over the solidity of Malzahn’s remaining tenure on the Plains. Like the other two losses this year, Auburn wasn’t completely out of it until the closing seconds, but there were so many things that nearly went right. If some of those things had happened, then we’re talking about how the Tigers gutted out a close win over a motivated team that’s treating the Auburn game like a Super Bowl.
Instead... Tennessee 30, Auburn 24.
And here are Gus Malzahn’s thoughts on the loss.
