Injuries.

Auburn didn’t exactly have the easiest road this season before all of that, what with losing a ton of experience and becoming literally the youngest team in the country. They were breaking in several new players, many of the them true freshmen, and having to depend on role players from a season ago becoming full-time starters. There were plenty of roadblocks from the start, and the Tigers never got to enjoy a single game with the full roster.
