One for the record books

No, the game wasn’t historical, in terms of play. Actually, it was boring. A typical Auburn football game. But it was effective.
Auburn won. And that’s the record. This is the first time in the history of the rivalry Auburn has won six consecutive games against Alabama.
Brandon Cox is only the second starting quarterback to finish his career against Alabama 3-0. Jason Campbell was the other.
For my money, the game ball goes to Cox. He wasn’t great, but he was solid. And he’s nails. Seriously, the kid is indestructible.
Now, we wait to see where Auburn will play its bowl game. Oh, and if Tommy Tuberville will stay in Auburn or head somewhere else.
