10-15-22 The Ole Miss Game

11 AM kickoff from Oxford.

FIRST QUARTER


Ole Miss receives.

The Rebels drive but Auburn holds on fourth one at the 29.

After one first down Auburn is punting.

The punt rolls dead at the Ole Miss 6.

Ole Miss drives to midfield and surprises everyone by punting into the end zone.

After two first downs Ashford throws the interception on a high throw to Bigsby on a screen pass which would have been a big gain on a great play call.

Auburn’s typical self-inflicted wound leads to a 35 yd TD pass on the second play after the turnover.


7-0 Ole Miss


Auburn goes three and out as Ashford drops the ball on a big loss and a would be first down pass to JJ is errant.  Auburn is punting on 4th and 12.  Ole Miss starts on their 35.

23 yd TD pass.



14-0 Ole Miss


Finley comes in and fumbles on third down.  The play is reviewed and ruled a fumble.  Still in the first quarter Auburn has committed two turnovers and had a 9yd loss when Ashford dropped the ball and recovered is own fumble.  Ole Miss on the Auburn 22.  Ole Miss on the Auburn 11 as the quarter winds down.  The quarter ends with OM on the Auburn 6.  This is a blowout already.


SECOND QUARTER


The score comes on a rush from the three.


21 to 0 Ole Miss


Long pass completion of 43 yards to the Ole Miss 22 to Koy Moore from Ashford.

From the 22 a completion to Amari Kelley to the two.  Ole Miss timeout.

Ashford around left end for the score on first and goal from the two.

75 yards on 9 plays.



21 to 7 Ole Miss


Auburn marches down the field with big runs between the tackles from Bigsby and Hunter.  Wow.  76 yards on 8 plays all on the ground.  Two solid touchdown drives in a row.


21 to 14 Ole Miss


Alas, OM gets a kickoff return to their 40, convert a 4th & 3 on an interference call on Auburn, and an unsportsmanlike call on the Auburn bench, to a third and goal from the Auburn 7.From the 7 their tailback goes in motion, our defense doesn’t cover him, and he walks into the end zone.


28 - 14 Ole Miss


Auburn goes three and out as Ashford loses yards on a third and two with a minute and half to go.  Holding on OM on the punt return.  1:21 to go at the OM 27.


First play Auburn intercepts and Auburn is on the Ole Miss 33 with 1:13 to go.

We move to 4th and short for a FG attempt.  JJ was wide open on a post route but Ashford doesn’t see him.  The FG attempt is good.  The first half comes to a close.


28-17 Ole Miss


THIRD QUARTER



Holy Cow!  Auburn receives and Tank Bigsby takes it to the house from 50 yards out.  75 yards in 3 plays.  Wow!


28-24 Ole Miss



THIRD QUARTER


Holy Cow!  Auburn receives and Tank Bigsby takes it to the house from 50 yards out.  75 yards in 3 plays.  Wow!


28-24 Ole Miss


Ole Miss goes right down the field gashing us with the run.  Nothing fancy.  Lots of missed tackles.  Derrick Hall is on the ground.


OM drives the ball on the ground but starts throwing the ball in the red zone and has to settle for the short field goal.


31 - 24 Ole Miss


Goodness!  Ole Miss executes a successful onside kick.  The ball goes 11 yards—-good enough.  Good coaching.  Lane Kiffin is nothing if not a gambler.

Ole Miss gets the momentum back catching our receiving team sleeping plus Auburn has had many, many, missed tackles today most of them in the open field.

The Rebels run right down the field the score coming on a rush from the five.  Poor defense with the offense showing some life.


38 - 24 Ole Miaa


The offense responds. 11 yard touchdown run by Ashford.   We’ve got a shootout.


38 - 31 Ole Miss


We go to the fourth quarter as on fourth and one their running back moved  before the snap but it wasn’t called.


FOURTH QUARTER


OM makes a 41 FG.


41 - 31 Ole Miss


Down by 10 with 12:28 to go.


First play Bigsby rambles 50 yards to the OM 25.

20 yards for Hunter to the Ole Miss 4.

Ashford runs into his offensive lineman but goers down at the 6.  Should have a touchdown.

False start on Auburn after a flagrant non call on Ole Miss.

Last three plays bad play calling and execution.

First and goal on the four and we can’t get into the end zone.

The FG is good with 9:05 to go.


41 - 34 Ole Miss


On third and one from the Auburn 41 there is a touchdown run.  We can’t stop their offense.


48 - 34 Ole Miss


And now with 6:26 to go there is a weather delay of at least 30 minutes.


The Tigers cannot advance to the end zone.  An interception on 4th and 10 ends our last possession.


Two early turnovers leading to two touchdowns.  Down 21 to 0 the Tigers fight back.  A successful onside kick to stem Auburn’s comeback momentum.  Poor tackling all game.  A powerful Rebel run game.


FINAL SCORE


48-34 OLE MISS
