AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn receiver Ryan Davis played his best game on the biggest stage, with career highs in catches and yards in the Tigers' 26-14 Iron Bowl win over No. 1 Alabama.

His 11 receptions are Auburn's Iron Bowl record. With 69 catches this season, Davis broke Darvin Adams' single-season record of 60.

"It's a dream come true," said Davis, whose 139 receiving yards rank No. 3 in Auburn's Iron Bowl history behind Sammie Coates (206 in 2014) and Alexander Wright (141 in 1989).
