(John Reed-USA TODAY Sports.)
War Eagle, everybody! This morning, the Auburn Tigers will host Tennessee, taking on the Volunteers in an important SEC battle. The loser of this game likely does not go to a bowl, and the winner gains confidence and renewed motivation to improve.
This game will kick off at 11:00 AM, Central Time, which has not been a favorable time slot for Auburn, historically. Some of the worst poundings of the Auburn defense in my lifetime have come before noon, in these sorts of grainy, Jefferson Pilot, bleary-eyed time slots. Let’s hope that this is not the case today.
