outgaining the Commodores 327 yards to 227This is nothing new for the Tigers, as finding ways to end drives by putting points on the board has been a consistent struggle for them.
Auburn’s defense turned in another solid performance, holding Vanderbilt to 227 yards of total offense and holding it to 95 yards in the second half. The Commodores’ leading rusher, Sedrick Alexander, was held to 28 yards and their leading receiver, Quincy Skinner Jr., was held to 30 yards. Having six games in the loss column, it is officially do-or-die time for the Tigers if they want to go bowling this winter. In its remaining three games, Auburn will play two ranked teams, No. 10 Texas A&M at home and No. 13 Alabama on the road.“One practice at a time, starting next week,” Freeze said. “We won’t go down that road, it’s just stacking days that allow us to get better.”
“I think finishing in anything you do is important,” Freeze said. “The easiest thing is for people to check out in life or in football, that’s what the voices will say to so many. It’s one of the things I’ve been proud of this team. I don’t think they’ve given into that and checked out.”
