Auburn football has always toiled in the shadow of the University of Alabama’s shadow, even during their stellar years. Fans, sportswriters and even the Auburn team themselves have become accustomed to good season that are followed up by mediocre ones. Auburn’s highest highs have always been followed up by laughable lows.
Most recently they had a great season this past year, beating both the nation’s eventual contenders for the national championship, Georgia and Alabama in the regular season only to lose in the SEC Championship Game and then in the post season as well.
