War Eagle everybody! It’s time now for the Acid Reign Report on Auburn’s leisurely 42-14 win over visiting Louisiana Monroe. I suppose some of us had unreasonable expectations for this one, and were expecting a huge blowout. Over the past 25 years, the Warhawks have often entered Jordan Hare Stadium, and sleep-walked through a payday game. Not this week. Monroe head coach Matt Viator’s team came in ready to punch Auburn in the mouth, and play toe to toe with the Tigers. I have to hand it to this coaching staff. This team is no longer a Sun Belt cellar dweller.
