To put it bluntly, this season hasn’t gone the way it was expected for the Rebels. They came into the season ranked at No. 11 in the AP Top 25 poll and have now slipped out of it completely after losing back-to-back games to Arkansas and LSU, with the Tigers’ running back Leonard Fournette rushing for 284 yards and three touchdowns against the Rebel defense.
The schedule doesn’t get easier this week, as Auburn is ranked No. 15 and looks to have a formidable rushing offense this season. With that in mind, several Rebel players decided to take matters into their own hands and hold a players-only meeting.
