Because that’s all any coach at Auburn cares about. Hew has been prepping for them all year…that’s why we lose to lesser opponents. He knows he’ll have a job at Auburn as long as he accomplishes that. He probably figured he would only prep for that game in the first 1-3 years until “his team” is up to par. Just wait and watch…you’ll see a completely different team for the iron bowl. If we lose Deuce Knight and lose to Bama…he’s toast.
