The Auburn Tigers welcomed in the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday night for what turned out to be a thriller.
The Tigers were looking for their first conference win of the season and to stop a three-game slide. However, Ole Miss outlasted the Tigers and came out ahead 28-21
The Auburn offense answered right back on the ensuing drive. Payton Thorne took the field this time and put together a few short runs before Jarquez Hunter exploded through the Ole Miss defense for a 53-yard touchdown to tie things up early in the first quarter. Robbie Ashford led the offense back on the field after the interception, and the Auburn offense looked to capitalize on the short field. Ashford took the ball 15 yards to the goal line on a designed run play in what looked like it may be a touchdown. However, he was ruled down at the one-yard line. Jarquez Hunter took matters into his own hands on the next play and punched it in for his second touchdown of the night.
The third quarter was the story of the defenses, with both teams punting a combined five times. It was not until the final seconds were ticking off the clock in the third that a team finally got within striking distance of the endzone again, and it was Ole Miss. The Rebels assembled an eight-play drive featuring two Dart completions for 20-plus yards. Dart closed things out with a one-yard run into the endzone, and Ole Miss was on top again.
