SEC football finally returned Saturday, and it brought a defensive slugfest as the No. 8 Auburn Tigers beat the No. 23 Kentucky Wildcats 29-13 at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.
The Auburn offense didn't move the ball with much consistency, but its defense made two fourth-down stops and forced three turnovers, including a fumble in the fourth quarter that allowed the Tigers to extend a two-point lead to nine.
Auburn also had a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown at the end of the first half get called back because of targeting.
Quarterback Bo Nix and wide receiver Seth Williams connected for two touchdowns as well.
