The Citrus Bowl was a disaster for Auburn. The offense looked inept, the defense got warn down, the Tigers were missing key players on both sides of the ball and, to cap it off, Bo Nix went down and was limping around on Auburn’s final drive.
But this game was never about winning or losing. There is a reason Auburn moved on from Gus Malzahn earlier in the season and the Bryan Harsin era is set to begin shortly.
Here were the keys in Auburn’s 35-19 loss to Northwestern.
