Here we go!  The last game of the 2021 season.  Let’s take our seniors and graduating juniors out with a win!  I am excited to see Harsin’s team continue to take shape as more of his guys will play this game.  War Eagle!

From a jaded fan's standpoint, there's something pathetic about celebrating the collapse to 6-6 with a bus ride to a low-tier bowl game in your arch rival's armpit. From a grateful fan's standpoint, it's awesome to be able to watch this season's version of AU football one more time. From any fan's standpoint, Progressive Stadium >> Legion Field.

In a vacuum, 6-6 in a coach's first year is nothing to be ashamed of.

Especially in this league.

Excited to see Harsin call plays, even if they haven't had time to change up the playbook from Bobo

Yup. CPD and CTT went 5-6 their first years.

HOWEVER, Mikey's post in the 2010 vs 2022 recruiting thread is pertinent. Tangible improvement will be expected by at least year 3.

Also, we ALWAYS get a team with something huge to play for in a bowl. SMH.

This is gonna be a look to the future with all the young guys starting today.  

[Randman5000 4,226]

AU in the HAM!

[j0hnnyRingo 1,445]

Smoke nearly took the handoff.

[W.E.D 11,070]

Guice being our best option is kinda surprising. 

3rd and long defense statis quo

[j0hnnyRingo 1,445]

Good to see 3rd and long is still an issue.

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

How do you not recover that smh

[fishepa 1,901]

How the hell do you not get that fumble?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[dmbseeker00 119]

What a bounce!

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Of course we face a struggling OL but they're blocking us a lot better than I expected

[W.E.D 11,070]

Man I hope Brooks can develop as a pass rusher on the edge next year. We've got nothing and took no one in this class.

[dmbseeker00 119]

Alright 3rd and short...Houston should throw to the end zone!

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

There ya go smoke

[W.E.D 11,070]

Smike out here trying yo get drafted. Love it

[japantiger 4,051]

Every team in America, except Auburn, has a QB that completes nearly 70% of their passes...

[tigerrules 517]

Where there is smoke, there is fire today. 

[W.E.D 11,070]

Nice creative play on that 4th down
