It was seven years ago today that Auburn’s magical 2013 season got off with a 31-24 victory over Washington State in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
With the game on the line and the Tigers up seven with 4:46 remaining, Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday dropped back and threw an interception, basically sealing the win for Auburn. It was his third interception of the game.
Yet after the game, it was Halliday that was criticizing Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall.
“They ran the ball real, real, real well,” Halliday told The Spokesman-Review. “If they could find a quarterback, they’d be a top-five team in the nation. They just don’t have a guy who can throw it. That running game was something very, very impressive.”
Funny how things turned out for Marshall and the Tigers that season.
