Auburn perceptions of 35-21

It was brought up in a basketball thread earlier. I can't tell where Auburn fans on this board truly stand regarding the game. I have seen playful banter back and forth about the rain being a factor (#stiffdew...etc.). It makes me wonder if Auburn fans are tongue in cheek about all of it or if they really think the game was a fluke.
Surely they are not ignorant enough to think it was a fluke. Auburn was a good, not great team in 2013. They were two miraculous plays from being a 4 loss team and had 6 games that they won by one possession or less. LSU was also a good, far from great team. They traditionally do very well vs spread teams. I will give you that Auburn ended the year as the better team......but I would take LSU straight up if they played the game again on a wet or dry field.
Anyway, I will quit my ramble. I am truly curious though Auburn fans. I will hang up and listen.
.....and NB4 aubsessed.

Bro do you even stiff dew?

Stuff dew definitely hurt us plus the defensive scheme. Lsu was definitely a better team then. I felt like Auburn improved with each game and LSU kinda declined after the UGA game, besides the TAMU game of course. But y'all had Johnny's number both years.
To summarize, if they had played in November, I am confident Auburn would have won. But they didn't, so LSU was the better team that day.

Stiff dew + Auburn hadn't established their identity yet = you melt.

We lost 35-21, 1 of two games Auburn lost during the season of football.

And one play away from winning NC! we can play that game also...

At that point in time, Auburn had not yet figured out they were a good football team. That changed quickly after the LSU game.

Rain and muffed punts won the game for LSU...sorry for breaking your heart.

Yall beat us straight up.
It happens, but our guys seemingly never gave up and it was a sign of good qualities about our team that took us on to have a special season.

And LSU was how many plays away from being a two lose team in 2007 ? Oh, nevermind.

Everybody forgets the close calls as time goes on. That's the nature of the sport. As a Bama fan, I never even consider how close we were to losing to Tennessee had Cody not blocked two kicks in the 4th. It's just laziness for us to pretend like the national champ couldn't have been anybody else in a given year.
That being said, I don't ever remember a team improving in the course of a year as much as auburn did. As much as some of their fans make me want to disrespect them, I can't disrespect the heart of their team last year.

When we played, auburn had no real identity and lsu was a far and away better team. Those are the facts.
As for your two miraculous plays from loaing 4 games is wrong. We were just flat out a better team than Bama. They had 160 yards passing on two plays from their one but that isn't luck because they are bama. We were tied with them trying a very stupid play at the end weren't prepared for something we tried.
As for UGA, Murray didn't score on one drive and we should have had more points but they took a play away from us that would have put us inside the 5 and we ended up kicking a field goal. The last play was absolutely dumb luck but we shouldn't have been in that situation.

I think LSU beat us the one time we played.
I also think AU improved over the course of the season and LSU probably had more injuries and such to deal with during November and December.
We won some close games as every SEC champion since 1992 has done. We were not undefeated like Bama 92/09, AU 04/10 or UT 98
- the big 3.

Rain is more beneficial to the team who prefers to run, so I don't buy the weather excuse. But to be fair, Auburn started running the ball a lot more after that game. Auburn would have gashed LSU late in the season. LSU struggled stopping the run straight up the middle all year, something Auburn is the best in the nation at.
Great season Auburn

It was the key game in Auburn's season. The coaches figured out how to better use their personnel as a result of that game.

AU was a different team early in the year vs late. Early AU was not top 25 and very average. Late AU was borderline great. No team in the country was going to beat AU 2/3 by December. Yeah AU lost to FSU, but that FSU team was considered one of the most talented ever going into the game and AU dominated FSU statistically. While you talk about the plays that went AU's way, at the same time any of a half dozen plays in the NC game do not go FSU's way, AU wins.
As for 35-21... stiff dew.

So basically this is South Carolina and Missouri on a much larger scale (for Auburn anyways).
Interesting.
