Auburn football running back Jay Sharp (22) runs the ball at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021. Auburn Tigers defeated Alabama State Hornets 60-0.
Auburn football plays in the Southeastern Conference, so fans know that the schedule is going to be difficult every season. Year in and year out, the Tigers face Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and more, and this season the difficulty level has only risen due to an almost-complete coaching staff turnover in the offseason.
Though the Tigers are often overlooked as the “little brother” to in-state rival Alabama, Auburn football has proven to be the least affected by the Tide since 2007 and still has one of the most brutal schedules in all of college football.
