Herbstreit: Auburn ‘Will be mad at the world’

ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit says Auburn will be “mad at the world” when second-ranked Clemson visits Jordan-Hare Stadium on Sept. 3 in the season-opener for both programs.

Herbstreit feels the SEC’s Tigers are better than what some of the prognosticators believe. Auburn was picked to finish sixth in the SEC West by the media back in July, one notch above last place Mississippi State.

“I think they are going to be mad at the world when they play this year,” Herbstreit said via a teleconference call with the media on Wednesday. “I think defensively, they will stay in almost every game that they play, and then it is just a matter of Gus Malzahn and the offense finding ways to put enough points up on the board to win.
