LSU was in control in an adverse, rain environment, but it was a game in which the AU team shaped their identity. The year before, they would have simply collapsed, but the guys made the decision at halftime that they would slug it out till the end. I admit that the game was really never in doubt (early mistakes are hard to overcome), but I was proud that the team never gave up. I believe it was a big step in the team buying into the coaches message, that allowed the next step at TAMU. The team decided in the rain down there at Tiger Stadium that they would never, ever give up. Fast forward to UGA & UAT....

Did not read the whole thread.. I do think you make a very good point here.

I can buy that. I'm not sure why this post received so many down-votes.
Auburn grew a lot as the year went on, undoubtedly this was one of those games where they showed improvement (even if they didn't come close to winning).
