Auburn’s season-opening loss to No. 2 Clemson was a mystifying one. One one hand, the Tigers corralled Deshaun Watson and the visitors for the most part, but still gave up a significant chunk of yardage despite surrendering just 19 points to a team that averaged 38.5 per game in 2015.

Since Auburn's unexpected loss to Texas A&M, it seems the majority of national coverage is declaring our luck has run out. "Auburn's luck runs out versus Texas A&M," an ESPN headline announced. "It's as if karma has caught up to No. 3 Auburn after the prayer at Jordan-Hare," said Jon Solomon, national college football writer. "The string of victories was already unnatural," wrote Dan Wolken with USA Today wrote. The word luck has become closely associated with Auburn football over the past few years. There have been moments of luck, such as last year's game against Georgia. It was lucky the ball deflected into the hands of Ricardo Louis, allowing him to score the game-winning touchdown. Even then, the team traned for long passes and that training paid off after the deflecion. However, saying every close game Auburn has won is the result of luck is a disservice to the team and coaching staff. In the 2013 Iron Bowl, Chris Davis returned a missed field goal to win the game. While the play was difficult to achieve, it was practiced. Coach Gus Malzahn even called a timeout before the play to put Davis, the team's usual punt returner, in as the return man instead of defensive back Ryan Smith. Auburn's coaching staff has put in hard work to get the team to where it is now. It's important to remember that two years ago, in the 2012 season, the Tigers were 3-9. In a single year under Malzahn, we were SEC champions. This year, we've lost twice already, yet we're still in the top 10 and are the highest ranked two-loss team in the nation. Luck plays no part in Auburn having one of the best offensive lines in the country. Luck didn't give Cameron Artis-Payne 1,190 rushing yards on 208 carries, making him the top rusher in the conference. Luck didn't make Auburn the top rushing offense nationally in 2013, and it certainly wasn't what put Tre Mason in New York City for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. This year the media seems to be on the edge of their seats, watching anxiously for Auburn to lose and break this unnatural string of miracles. We have lost, twice, and each time because of mistakes that could have easily been avoided. Wolken claimed a majority of Auburn fans will say we lost the Texas A&M game because our luck ended, when most fans have said we lost because our defense couldn't tackle and gave up too many points to recover from. Any good team in the top level of college football is going to need a bit of luck to be champions. A fumble recovery is lucky. Two seasons of remaining in the top 10, despite losses, is not luck. It's hard work and dedication. It's long days of practice over scorching summers and nights of film study after hard defeats. It's our players and our coaches that have determined their place in college football, not Lady Luck.
In addition to the drafted Greg Robinson, Dee Ford, Tre Mason and Jay Prosch, a number of former Auburn Tigers found NFL homes by signing undrafted free-agent contracts with teams shortly after the completion of the draft. Among the early signees were former defensive lineman Nosa Eguae with the Atlanta Falcons and former defensive backs Ryan Smith and Ryan White, who signed undrafted free-agent contracts with the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers respectively. Per his agent, Iron Bowl hero Chris Davis signed an undrafted free-agent deal with the San Diego Chargers shortly after the completion of the draft. A complete list of former Tigers who signed undrafted free-agent deals can be found below: DL Kenneth Carter - Kansas City Chiefs P Steven Clark - Denver Broncos DB Chris Davis - San Diego Chargers DL Nosa Eguae - Atlanta Falcons LB Jake Holland - Atlanta Falcons (invited to rookie minicamp) DB Demetruce McNeal - Green Bay Packers K Cody Parkey - Indianapolis Colts DB Ryan Smith - Dallas Cowboys DB Ryan White - Green Bay Packers Former Tigers Jeffrey Whitaker, Craig Sanders and Blake Poole were all draft eligible, but were not selected and have yet to sign undrafted free-agent contracts.

Fourteen former Auburn Tigers will be anxiously waiting to hear their name called Thursday, May 8 as the 2014 NFL Draft kicks off from the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Offensive lineman Greg Robinson is widely considered to be one of the top prospects in this year's draft, with many draft experts considering the Louisiana native to be a Top-5 overall pick. Defensive end Dee Ford has also been projected as a potential first round draft pick. Ford missed the first two games of the 2013 season, but he collected 29 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks over the final 12 games of the season. Running back Tre Mason is considered to be one of the top backs in this year's draft class. Many draft experts have the reigning SEC Offensive Player of the Year being selected on the first or second day of the draft. Mason, a Heisman finalist in 2013, racked up 1,816 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground this past season, breaking Bo Jackson's single-season rushing record along the way. Iron Bowl hero Chris Davis is currently projected by NFL.com as a sixth or seventh-round draft choice. Despite zero career interceptions, this cornerback has intrigued scouts with his physicality in run support and his well-documented return skills. Punter Steven Clark, kicker Cody Parkey and fullback Jay Prosch are all rated as borderline seventh-round prospects by NFL.com. A full list of Auburn athletes eligible for this year's draft is available below: Ken Carter DT 6'3" 290 Steven Clark PT 6'5\0x215C" 231 Chris Davis CB 5'9\0x215E" 202 Nosa Eguae DE 6'2\0xBE" 281 Dee Ford DE 6'2\0x215B" 244 Jake Holland ILB 5'11\0x215E" 237 Tre Mason RB 5'8\0xBD" 207 Demetruce Mcneal S 6'0\0x215C" 188 Cody Parkey K 6'0\0xBC" 189 Blake Poole CB 5'10\0x215C" 183 Jay Prosch FB 6'0\0xBE" 256 Greg Robinson OT 6'5" 332 Craig Sanders DE 6'3\0xBD" 243 Ryan Smith S 6'0" 192 Jeff Whitaker DT 6'2\0xBE" 305 Ryan White CB 5'10\0xBC" 197
Although their offense started off slow, Auburn went on to get 11 hits, including three consecutive two-out RBI doubles in the bottom of the fifth in a 6-1 win over South Alabama on Tuesday night. "The three doubles in a row were really big," said head coach Sunny Golloway. "We haven't strung extra base hits together like that all year, so that was big for us." South Alabama's Davis Knapp hit a leadoff double off of Daniel Koger to start the game. A groundout followed by a wild pitch scored Knapp to make it 1-0, but Koger got out of the first inning with back-to-back strikeouts. Auburn's first hit came with a leadoff single by Blake Austin in the bottom of the fourth. Keegan Thompson followed with a single and Jordan Ebert hit a one-out single to load the bases. Brett Binning then popped up to second base and Anfernee Grier grounded out to third to end the fourth inning scoreless while leaving the bases loaded. After Koger allowed a one-out double, Trey Wingenter took over on the mound in the top of the fifth. Wingenter walked the only batter he faced before Jay Wade came out of the bullpen to replace him. Wade forced a fly ball out and then Damek Tomscha made a diving catch in foul territory to escape the inning. Auburn went through their entire lineup and took the lead in the bottom of the fifth. Damon Haecker led off with a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch before Austin delivered with a two-out RBI double to tie it. Thompson followed Austin's lead by hitting a two-out RBI double to score Austin and take the 2-1 lead. Pinch hitter Blake Logan kept it going with another RBI double to make it 3-1. Ebert and Jackson Burgreen walked to load the bases but Grier popped it up to leave the bases loaded again. Wade pitched 1-2-3 sixth and seventh innings and retired every batter he faced to earn his fourth win on the mound for Auburn this season. Auburn added two insurance runs in the sixth when Tomscha hit an RBI single to score Ryan Tella. Later in the inning, Logan hit a two-out RBI to bring Tomscha home. Auburn's sixth run came in the bottom of the seventh when Ebert scored from third after a wild pitch. Trey Cochran-Gill pitched a four-pitch eighth inning and Terrance Dedrick pitched the ninth inning to clinch Auburn's victory. "Winning is always fun," Austin said. "We feel like we've been playing some good baseball, we just haven't been able to finish games. There's no panic over here." This weekend the Tigers will play at No. 24 Arkansas looking to win its first SEC series in four weekends.
