War Eagle everybody. It’s time now for the Acid Reign Report on Auburn’s dismal 30-22 loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Auburn ripped out to a 16-7 lead in the second quarter, before the offense became a dysfunctional mess, and the defense proved unable to stop the Gamecocks. South Carolina outscored Auburn 23-6 in the last 31 minutes of the ball game.
Quite honestly, I was very sad to see Auburn’s Gus Malzahn get out-coached by Will Muschamp. Auburn did a pretty fair job of spreading the ball around in the first quarter, only to revert to myopic form as the game went on.
