SEC Preview: The Mystery that is Auburn

August 24, 2021 Alex Haddon

With Gus Malzah, the University of Auburn was always a mystery. A fun mystery, but a mystery nonethleless. This was a team that would beat Georgia or Alabama or LSU one season, and lose terrible games to a poor Mississippi team, or – as was the case last year – a piss-poor South Carolina team. But in the background was always Alabama, Alabama, Alabama. Never mind that Malzahn had taken his team to a National Championship Game where they lost in heartbreaker, won a National Championship Game as an OC, and won the SEC Championship twice.
