Auburn did not look completely outmatched in its 27-19 loss against Ole Miss on Saturday, but the second consecutive loss to an SEC team will be hard on the Tigers.
Here is what Gus Malzahn had to say during the postgame press conference:
Gus: “We had trouble running the football, and that had a big factor in the game … but what stands out to me is 2-for-15 in third downs.”

Malzahn: “We’re young in some areas. We can play with anybody and I think anybody can see that. We got to take that next step.” #MGMAuburn — Matthew Stevens (@matthewcstevens) October 31, 2015
Gus Malzahn says “we can play with anyone” and he believes everyone can see that. Auburn is 1-7 in its last eight SEC games.
