Last year’s game against Auburn was essentially a de-facto college football playoff elimination game.
As a sophomore, Laquon Treadwell was mere inches from scoring a go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter when he was thrust down by his hips, resulting in a gruesome season-ending leg injury and a 35-31 Auburn victory and putting a damper on the Rebels’ season.
After the emotional loss and the months of rehab he went through to get back on the field, Treadwell said this game carries an extra meaning for him.
