Auburn football had gone from the outhouse to the penthouse. After the horror house that was the 2012 football season on the Plains, Gus Malzahn’s first team at Auburn was 10-1 and ranked #4 in the country by the time the Iron Bowl kicked off. The season up until that point had been a roller coaster itself. After getting stomped in the “stiff dew” of Tiger Stadium, the Tigers went on to avenge the previous year’s slaughtering at the hands of Manziel and Texas A&M by knocking the #7 Aggies off in College Station and going on a tear through the rest of the SEC.
