AUBURN, Ala. — They call him Bubba. But Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee says it may be time for Kamryn Pettway to have a new nickname.
"Maybe we're supposed to call him Bruiser now."
Maybe so. Pettway carried it another 30 times, gained 236 more yards and helped Auburn beat Ole Miss 40-29 Saturday night in Oxford. The SEC's leading rusher now has 933 yards, though he didn't have a carry in the opener and didn't play in Week 5 because of a bruised quad.
The Bruiser has been making up for lost time to the tune of 39 carries, 27 carries, 30 carries and 30 more carries over the last four games; and has helped Auburn move to third in the nation in rushing.
