And before we dive any deeper into that fourth consecutive mess of a performance — and the most troubling of all of them — let’s get this out of the way: Auburn was dinged on two game-changing plays. Mississippi State’s touchdown on the final play of the first half and JaTarvious Whitlow’s fumble as he crossed the goal line. If either play initially is ruled in Auburn’s favor, those plays stand and it’s a 14-point swing in Auburn’s favor.
That did not happen. That sucks, but it is what it is.
It doesn’t change the fact that this Auburn football team did this Saturday:
- Was outrushed 349 to 90.
