It's a familiar story for Auburn football fans: big lead, late collapse, and a painful loss. This time, the Tigers went on the road to Columbia, Missouri, and did what they've done too often this season: choked.
The Tigers were up by 17 points in the second half, looking like they were finally going to put together a complete game. They were rolling! But alas, Missouri had other plans. The Tigers got sloppy, made mistakes, and let the Missouri offense get back into the game. In the end, it was a 24-23 Missouri victory, leaving Auburn fans with a familiar feeling of frustration.
This loss was a tough pill to swallow for Auburn fans. They had seen this movie before. The team has been plagued by inconsistency all season, and it showed again in this game. There were moments of brilliance, but also moments of complete and utter disaster. It's like they're playing with fire and getting burned every time.
So what's next for Auburn? It's hard to say. The team has the talent to be a contender, but they need to find some consistency. This loss to Missouri is a big blow, but it's not the end of the world. They've gotta pick themselves up and keep fighting. There's still a lot of football left to be played. Go Tigers!
