AUBURN, Ala. — The Ole Miss Rebels and the Auburn Tigers took to the field in front of 86,700 fans for what was a lopsided Saturday morning affair on the plains at Jordan Hare Stadium. In a game that finished 44-23 in favor of the home team, Auburn’s strengths and Ole Miss’s weakness were on full display.
The early story of the game was the Rebels inability to finish drives in the red zone. The offense moved the ball efficiently until it was deep in Auburn territory, having to settle for field goal attempts, one of which was missed.
