The Auburn Tigers went toe to toe with the standard of college football for the past three seasons.

Auburn fell to Georgia 27-20.

Hugh Freeze's first home SEC game on the Auburn sideline was electric. A loud Jordan Hare Stadium gave Auburn a shot as the Tigers were tied with the number one team in the country at the half and entering the fourth quarter.

No such thing as a moral victory but it's hard to not be impressed with what this Auburn team did on Saturday.

Going into a bye week, Auburn has to feel better than where they were a week ago. Now cloaked with an identity on both sides of the ball, some confidence, and proof that you can keep up with anyone, as of right now, fans have to like Auburn's chances for the rest of the season.
