AUBURN, Ala. - Eli Stove played a starring role in the third longest run by a freshman in Auburn history.

"It was almost like a movie to me," Stove said of his 78-yard jet sweep scamper on the first play of Auburn's 56-3 win over Arkansas last year. "I still remember getting the ball and seeing open field. In practice, it's not always going to be there. It worked perfectly then. Good blocking, executed everything well."

Stove made 23 receptions for 224 yards in 2016, the sixth most catches all-time for an Auburn freshman.
