I highly doubt Saturday went the way this Auburn football team, Gus Malzahn and most of the Auburn fanbase imagined it going. Carrying a 14-7 lead into halftime over Louisiana-Monroe isn’t something that gets everyone fired up. But the Tigers came out in the 2nd half and put away the Warhawks like they should. Basically, your typical Auburn blowout.
The truth is though Auburn’s playoffs started sometime in the evening on October 14th after blowing a 20 point lead to LSU. From that point on, there were no second chances. Survive and advance became the reality. That’s exactly what this Auburn team has done and continues to do.
