The Tigers wound up on the winning side, sending everyone on the Plains into a frenzy.
Auburn fans from around the country have chimed in on the win, expressing their emotions surrounding the current state of the football program. Basketball head coach Bruce Pearl was the latest to react, tweeting how proud he was of everyone involved.
“Proud of this Football Program,” Pearl said via Twitter. “Proud of this University! Proud of this Family!”
Pearl might have the best thing going right now at Auburn but at the end of the day, he is in the south. When football is rolling and pulling out wins as the one they did on Saturday night, it’s tough to focus on anything else. And each sport will want the other sports to perform well — no matter the school — to help build out the brand.
