No. 12 Auburn may face little resistance versus Ole Miss

While Auburn's offense is clicking at a highly productive rate, struggling Ole Miss has a defense that is at its worst.

The 12th-ranked Tigers (4-1 overall, 2-0 SEC) host Ole Miss (2-2, 0-1) on Saturday coming off a 51-14 victory over Missouri and a 49-10 rout of Mississippi State, gaining 993 yards of offense in those games.

The Rebels allowed 613 yards, 365 of those on the ground, in a 66-3 shellacking at the hands of top-ranked Alabama last week.

Ole Miss interim coach Matt Luke believes the best approach to playing Auburn is to simplify the play calls on both sides of the ball.
