Auburn in the Sugar Bowl: 4 keys to beating Oklahoma

That's what Auburn does best. Their 3,342 yards and 32 touchdowns rushing both led the SEC in the regular season, and their 278.5 rushing yards per game ranked sixth nationally. What's especially beneficial for the Tigers is that this will be the first time in nearly three months that the backfield duo of Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson will be healthy at the same time. Pettway (quad) and Johnson (ankle) both missed multiple games to injury. When healthy, they were tough to stop, with Pettway leading the SEC in rushing yards per game (124.8), making him the only back to rank ahead of LSU's Derrius Guice in that category.
