Auburn looked very impressive on its first drive of the game. Brandon Cox was doing what he does best: Checking the offense into the right playcall.
It worked out on a couple running plays, and now Auburn leads 7-0 after a Ben Tate touchdowns.

I liked Tommy Tuberville’s decision to go for it on fourth down. This is the Iron Bowl. If you need an inch, you better be able to get it or you don’t deserve it.

Auburn got it.

I’m telling you, if either team gets down by two touchdowns, the other team won’t be able to come back. I’m just saying.

And Auburn’s halfway there.
