Anyone else think Dabo Swinney really likes beating Auburn, especially in a home night game? This staff simply doesn’t get out-coached, and certainly not by a Gus Malzahn-led staff. Yet for much of the 1st quarter I was worried by Auburn’s apparent physical dominance. It looked like Auburn would be able to play keep away and rack up the play count to eventually do whatever they wanted against a tired front, but then I stopped and realized all of Auburn’s points came off an iffy pass interference and a fumble recovery at the 10. Ironically, Auburn’s strongest quarter sealed its fate; they couldn’t score touchdowns in what turned out to be their only two opportunities to do so.
