Auburn 33 Ole Miss 20

We are all together to watch the game at home. It's the early game. At first it seemed it was going to be Auburn's typical performance in a morning game as the Rebels drive 94 yard to take an early 7 to 0 lead after the kick returner fumbled and Auburn should have recovered but didn't.

The Auburn defense stiffened the rest of the half and Auburn led 10 to 7 at intermission. The Auburn offense exploded in the third quarter and the Tigers led 31 to 7 in the middle of the third. But Ole Miss runs a kickoff back and quickly it's 31 to 14. Our offense stalls and it's 33 to 20 after Mississippi scores another TD but we block the point after and run it back for 2 points.

That's the way it ends as our defense gets a late interception as Ole Miss was driving and we run out the clock.

Our defense looks the best it's looked all year. We got pressure on their QB Jevan Snead, our tackeling was better, and our secondary played well. The offense improved certainly over the last 3 games.

Our kickoff coverage is still terrible. Chris Todd is always capable of a bonehead play at any time. We get little out of punt and kickoff returns.

Auburn is 6 & 3. I suppose we will win next week. We could finish 9 and 3 or 7 and 5.
