War Eagle everybody! It’s time now for the Acid Reign Report on Auburn’s 31-10 over the Memphis Tigers in the Birmingham Bowl. After a rough year and unlikely trip to Legion Field, the Auburn Tigers closed with a successful outing under gray skies. The men from the Plains shook off some first half mistakes, and throttled the Tigers from Memphis in the second half. Auburn finishes the season with 7 wins against 6 losses.
A much-maligned Auburn defense arrived ready to play, and made life miserable for the Memphis players. Highly hyped Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch never found a rhythm, and finished with just 106 passing yards.
