Weekend Review: Skid Continues Against Another Ranked Opponent

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Man, it just isn’t our year.”, only to see something that surpasses what you thought could possibly happen to prove to yourself that it, in fact, is not your year at all? That happened to me Friday night. For the record, I wasn’t expecting much this weekend. Auburn played better against Arkansas, in fact the best they’ve played in an SEC series all year to this point. Mississippi State is the thorn in Auburn’s side for a few years now and nothing about this season suggested that State would roll over here. As we went to the 7th on Friday night, everything was progressing about right, State would add a run to pad their lead to a 5-2 cushion as we stretched it out and it seemed as if this was the lot we had been given.
