Both teams have big goal line stands in the first. But Ole Miss should have scored on that fourth down play. Nobody covering the toss sweep. Jacobs tried to score before he had the ball though.

Ole Miss D-gate is flyin around pretty good and slowin down the run.
Might be a good second half.

Flatt is in

Nevermind, i retract my earlier statement

Beatdown City

Too bad I missed the game, had to be on a job site.

Would've loved to have seen Tubby lay the smackdown on UM and Zero.

Auburn Holds Ole Miss to 209 Yards Offense in 27-3 Beatdown.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Brandon Cox passed for 205 yards and a touchdown and Kenny Irons ran for 101 yards and another TD to lead No. 19 Auburn to a 27-3 victory over Mississippi on Saturday.

Auburn kicker John Vaughn also hit a pair of field goals for the Tigers (6-2, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) after a nightmarish 1-for-6 performance in an overtime loss at LSU.

The Rebels (3-5, 1-4) managed just 209 total yards -- 23 on the ground -- and Ethan Flatt replaced Micheal Spurlock at quarterback in the fourth quarter. They had allowed only one TD in each of the last three games but couldn't keep up that string against the league's top-scoring offense.

Irons had 32 carries while Cox was 17-of-27 passing, including a 1-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Ben Obomanu on a fourth-down play in the third quarter.

Obomanu caught the ball near the exact spot where he dropped a wide-open pass in the end zone late in a 24-20 loss to the Rebels two years ago.

The Tigers also scored on a trick play. Receiver Courtney Taylor took the ball on a reverse and heaved it to a wide-open Devin Aromashodu for a 28-yard touchdown early in the second quarter.

Spurlock was 10-of-18 for 105 yards with an interception that set up another Auburn TD. Flatt twice led the Rebels into Auburn territory in the fourth quarter, going 11-of-17 for 81 yards.

Tailback Mico McSwain gained only 48 yards on 18 rushes against the nation's fourth-ranked scoring defense.

Both teams failed to convert on fourth-and-goal situations in the first half after having numerous kicking problems last week.

The Rebels drove inside Auburn's 1-yard line on their opening drive. Then Brandon Jacobs couldn't handle the pitch from Spurlock on fourth down for a 12-yard loss.

The Tigers then went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 3 on the following possession but Cox's pass fell incomplete under pressure to end a 16-play drive.

Its no wonder both teams were wary of relying on their kicking games. Ole Miss had a pair of field goal attempts blocked and missed four against Kentucky last week.

Vaughn rebounded to hit a 35-yarder and a 39-yarder in the final three minutes of the first half, the second set up by Steve Gandy's 29-yard return of a Spurlock interception.

Matt Hinkle kicked a 43-yard field goal in the second quarter for the Rebels' only points.

That chance came after Ole Miss couldn't move the ball following Tre Smith's fumbled punt return at the 28.

Auburn converted another fourth-down chance on its next drive to set up Taylor's touchdown pass.

The Tigers were 2-of-4 on fourth-down tries and Ole Miss was 0-for-2.

Ole Miss was given plenty of chances. They failed miserably. At no point past the first drive was I thinking they were going to break for a first down much less a touchdown. But I do remember someone saying that when Auburn beat State that there was no reason State should not have won that game. The score today was a little closer not much and it is now called a beatdown. Thing king of spinning the facts GH22

Would've hoped that UM could score in the 4th qtr with Auburn's scout players on defense.

Would've hoped State could have scored period against Auburn

But who cares?? Both teams SUCK!!!!

Yeah, it sucked ----we contained Auburn's running back pretty good, but let some of their recievers burn us for some big 3rd down conversions ----Ilikadodo, Iwearatutu, Yabadabadudu, Bishoptutu, and Imadeabooboo had their way with us all afternunu. Nanu nanu.

And can I vent a moment about the new rule allowing review of official's calls on the field. First, Brandon Jacobs crossed the goaline and scored in the first quarter, but the official said no and marked the ball back about at the 2 yard line.??? WTF No review of the play. WTF Then, later in the game Auburn has a critical fumbled punt return reviewed and reversed ---no fumble ---even though there was no overwhelming evidence to reverse the call. Give UM the 7 points we got screwed out of, and give us the fumble that occurred, eliminating the ensuing scoring drive by Auburn, and this game goes down to the wire. This review schit, which is totally at the discretion of the officials as to which calls to review (coach cannot make the request), is just one more way for the officials to screw us. The screwing by the calls on the field is not enough. Back up the tape, bend on over and lets do it again. Geeeesh.
