re: Auburn’s last win vs a winning Power 5 team

I had lunch with an Auburn man yesterday. Had a great time together talking old times. We didn’t talk sports very much but I asked him one question. Was he satisfied with the direction Auburn football was heading?
His answer was that he felt that something was going on with the overall program that didn’t feel right. He said the thing which separated the two teams was that everyone who had anything to do with the Alabama football program pulled in the same direction. If a mistake was made in anyway that problem was solved and the program moved forward. Saban made sure of that. At Auburn that may not be the case. He was hopeful for Auburn’s success but that the jury was still out.

The AU fans have been assured there is finally alignment within the rank 'n file who run the program, that every contingent is pulling in the same direction. And that Hugh Freeze has been working tirelessly raising funds for NIL, which is rumored to be at the levels of Texas & aTm after last weekend's efforts.
