Auburn isn’t ready to throw in the towel on this season just yet. Left for dead by most, the Tigers jumped out to a two-touchdown lead at the half and hung on for a 30-27 win at Kentucky on Thursday night.
It was Auburn’s first SEC victory of the year.
"I think it’s very significant," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said after the game. "Now we’ve got some momentum. We’re 2-0 in October. We played better football tonight. We still made some mistakes, but this team is capable of being good. And tonight just confirmed that.
What this win means for Auburn: Isn’t it amazing what Malzahn can do with an extra week to prepare?
