Auburn football players pump up the crowd during warm ups at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021.
You couldn’t have asked for a more picture-perfect opening kickoff victory for Auburn football following their 60-10 decimation of a wildly under-matched Akron Zips squad.
The MAC bottom-feeder (though their dominant victory over Bowling Green last year makes the Falcons the true basement) made the near-800 mile trek from eastern Ohio to be feasted on by a Tigers team reinvigorated by the new coaching staff’s creative offensive schemes and dogged defensive intensity.
Jordan-Hare Stadium was just about full, and the pomp and pageantry of everything that makes a home game on the Plains unmatched just about anywhere were on full display.
