On the surface, at the end of the game between Auburn and Texas A&M yesterday, I really didn’t want to write this article.
After giving myself some time to reflect, this loss to Texas A&M isn’t as bad as it may appear on the surface, for a couple of reasons.
For one, this season is not lost, nor do large-scale changes need to be made before the end of it. Looking into the future, however, this is an indication that the Tigers simply need to hit the recruiting trail extremely hard in order for Bryan Harsin & Co. to sustain long-term success. I believe eventually Auburn will get to the point where they are competing in and winning recruiting battles over the likes of Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, and LSU. They’re going to have to if they don’t want to be left in the dust after Texas and Oklahoma make the move to the SEC.
With that being said, for today, here are five losers from Auburn’s 20-3 loss to Texas A&M.
