AUBURN, Ala. - Nick Ruffin and Javaris Davis teamed up for a trio of takeaways, including a "Nick-Six," in Auburn's 42-14 win over Louisiana Monroe.
Ruffin returned his first career interception 45 yards for a touchdown to put the Tigers up 35-7 midway through the fourth quarter.
"When I got the ball, the only thing I was thinking was definitely score," said Ruffin, whose last touchdown came on a similar play in high school. "Instinct kicked in. I had an incredible block, I think it was Daniel Thomas, and a lot of my defensive linemen were blocking downfield for me, so I wanted to utilize all of their efforts and score for them.
