BRING ON BAMA: Auburn cruises past ULM in tune-up for Tide

AUBURN — Auburn doesn’t need a sign or a hashtag. They want Bama.

After seemingly oversleeping through its 11 a.m. start, Auburn cruised past an overmatched Louisiana-Monroe 42-14 in a glorified exhibition game before the winner-take-all Iron Bowl next weekend.

Auburn utilized its quick strike offense to build a comfortable lead and stroll past a .500 Sun Belt Conference opponent with the fifth-worst defense among FBS opponents.

Three of Auburn’s first four scoring drives took fewer than three minutes off the clock as the No. 6-ranked Tigers (9-2) tried to push the tempo. ULM’s defense has allowed 505.
