The Tigers broke out every bit of orange they had, made it a spooky road affair for Ole Miss, and scored a top ten victory on the night before Halloween. Auburn beat the 10th-ranked Rebels 31-20 at Jordan-Hare Stadium to improve to 6-2 and put another feather in the cap of Bryan Harsin in his debut season.
Auburn’s rushing attack took center stage on offense early to set the tone, and finished the game with 207 yards, including a 140-yard night from Tank Bigsby to set him back on track. Bo Nix was also very efficient, going 22-30 for 276 yards and a touchdown, effectively outdueling Heisman contender Matt Corral.
