Well, it could have been worse

At least we didn’t score the potential tying TD only to have our WR pretend to be a dog pissing in the end zone, thus leading to a missed XP as time expired. That’s about the only way it could have been worse, though.

Congrats to Auburn, but that was one of the weirdest football games I’ve ever watched. We moved the ball up and down the field all game long on offense and made enough plays to win the game on defense, but then we would immediately nullify those plays with stupid penalties time and time again. Meanwhile Auburn was making ridiculous circus catches, completing throw-away balls for first downs, getting phantom timeouts to take a field goal attempt with one second left on a running clock, and having a Mac Jones pass bounce off the back of one of our receivers directly into the hands of their beaten defender who wasn’t even looking for it, and yet somehow had the superhuman reflexes to immediately catch it and then run 100+ yards for a score. It was one of those Iron Bowls that could only take place in Jordan-Hare stadium. Fitting that it ended on a stupid substitution penalty. Good win Auburn, y’all made the plays you had to make and deserved it. Also frick you.
