AUBURN, Ala. -- Gus Malzahn looked almost unrecognizable Saturday.
In arguably the most important game of his coaching career -- the losing coach literally got fired the next day -- Malzahn ditched the visor he wears every game and went with a hat instead.
Was it a superstitious thing? Was he trying to match his counterpart Les Miles?
“My daughters said something about me wearing a visor and needing to put on a hat because I’m going bald,” Malzahn said after the game. “So I’m going to wear a hat from here on out.”
The new look must have worked as Malzahn’s Auburn team beat LSU, 18-13, thanks to an official review and a reversal on the game’s final play.
