First off, let's begin by stating it's much too early to put Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn on the hot seat.
But consider some of these facts for Malzahn's Tigers heading into Thursday night's SEC matchup at Kentucky.
Auburn has lost five straight SEC games and six of its last eight. Four of those losses were by 11 or more points, and its only two wins were by a combined 11 points.
The Tigers have an 11-7 record in conference play under Malzahn—and that includes a 7-1 campaign in 2013 that ended in an SEC championship.
