AUBURN, Ala. – The message from Gus Malzahn was clear all week. Auburn couldn't afford to let up after taking down No. 1 Georgia the week before. His team was listening. Despite a slow start, the Tigers found their stride and cruised to a 42-14 win over Louisiana Monroe on Saturday.

The key to the victory? Turnovers.

The Auburn defense forced three turnovers in the second half, which led to 14 points, and it was just the boost the Tigers need to blow the game open and put it away.
