AUBURN-LSU CONNECTIONS } Auburn linebacker Ashton Richardson is the son of Al Richardson, who starred at linebacker for LSU from 1979-82. The elder Richardson earned All-American and first-team All-SEC honors as a senior, and still holds the LSU records for most tackles in a game (21) and a career (452). } LSU tight ends coach Steve Ensminger coached at Auburn from 2003-08, coaching quarterbacks in 2003 before moving to tight ends from 2004-08. } Ensminger was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Texas A&M in 1996 when Auburn offensive line coach Jeff Grimes was in his first year as an offensive graduate assistant for the Aggies. } LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton was the head coach at BYU in 2004 when Grimes was in his first year as the Cougarsβ offensive line coach. } LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis held that same position at Tennessee when Auburn assistant head coach/wide receiver coach Trooper Taylor coached the Volsβ running backs (2004-05) and wide receivers (2006-07). } LSU defensive line coach Brick Haley was the defensive line coach at Troy State from 199496, while Auburn director of football relations Wayne Bolt was the offensive line coach. } Auburn safeties coach Tommy Thigpen was the cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator at Bowling Green from 2001-02, while LSU offensive line coach Greg Studrawa coached the offensive line and LSU wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales coached the receivers for the Falcons. } LSU Assistant AD/Football Operations Dr. Sam Nadar was a quarterback at Auburn from 1963-67. Nadar received his undergraduate degree from Auburn in 1967 and his masterβs from AU in 1969. } Auburn assistant equipment manager Mike βBonesβ Boniol is a 2001 graduate of LSU and served on the Tigersβ equipment staff from 2002-06. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS Twelve of the 22 meetings in the AuburnLSU series since 1988 have been decided by less than a touchdown. And like all good Southern football series, many of those games have earned memorable titles. Examples: 1988: LSU scored with 1:41 remaining to down fourth-ranked Auburn, 7-6. The noise from the Tiger Stadium crowd registered on a campus seismograph, thus earning the contest the title of βEarthquake Game.β 1994: Auburn returned three of its five fourth-quarter interceptions for touchdowns to rally from a two-touchdown deficit and win 3026. Auburn and LSU fans alike still recall the βInterception Game.β
Game 8 β’ LSU at Auburn β’ Oct. 23, 2010 β’ 2:30 p.m. β’ Jordan-Hare Stadium β’ Auburn, Ala.
2010 Auburn Football Game Notes 1995: Wearing the traditional white jerseys at home for the first time in 13 years, LSU stunned fifth-ranked Auburn, 12-6, when Troy Twillie intercepted Patrick Nixβs 11-yard pass into the end zone with no time remaining. The 1997 LSU media guide referred to this game under the heading βBring Back The Magic.β 1996: βThe Night The Barn Burnedβ will long be remembered on the Plains. As the old Auburn Sports Arena burned just outside Jordan-Hare Stadium, LSU defeated Auburn 1915. After missing three field goals and an extra point, Auburn cut LSUβs lead to 17-15 with :38 remaining, but Jon Cooleyβs two-point pass attempt was picked off by Raion Hill, who returned it the other way for two points. 1997: Dameyune Craig led Auburn on an 80-yard, 10-play drive in the gameβs final three minutes to deliver a 31-28 upset of 10th-ranked LSU in βThe Comeback.β Rusty Williams capped the drive on a 1-yard touchdown plunge with :30 remaining. LSU attempted a 65-yard FG on the gameβs final play, but Quinton Reese blocked it to seal the Auburn win. 2004: With the threat of Hurricane Ivan looming, members of the Auburn football team spent Wednesday though Friday nights in hotels as the Auburn University campus was closed, but the game went on as scheduled. The seemingly automatic extra point proved to be a challenge for both teams, but a second chance for Auburn allowed the Tigers to emerge with a 10-9 win in βThe Extra Point Game.β LSU missed the PAT after its first-quarter touchdown, but still led 9-3 late in the game. After Courtney Taylor hauled in a 16-yard score with just 1:14 left to tie the score, Auburn missed its extra point. An LSU personal foul gave John Vaughn a second chance, and he delivered the winning point. 2005: The first overtime game between the two teams was won by LSU, 20-17, when John Vaughnβs 39-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. A 30-yard field goal by LSUβs Chris Jackson to start the overtime turned out to be the winning points. Jackson forced overtime
with a 44-yard field goal with just 1:40 left, moments after Auburn had taken a 17-14 lead on a 5-yard pass from Brandon Cox to Anthony Mix on fourth down with 4:52 left. 2006: In a battle between two top-10 teams, Brandon Coxβs 1-yard quarterback sneak in the third quarter was the only touchdown in a 7-3 Auburn victory. No. 3 Auburn held off two late scoring chances for No. 6 LSU, as Eric Brock ended one drive by tipping away a fourth-down pass, then tackled Craig Davis on the 4-yard line on the gameβs final play to preserve the victory. 2007: Matt Flynn hit Demetrius Byrd with a 22-yard scoring pass with just one second left to lift No. 5 LSU to a 30-24 victory over No. 18 Auburn. Brandon Cox had connected with Rodgeriqus Smith on a 3-yard scoring pass with just 3:21 left to give Auburn a 24-23 lead before Flynnβs pass capped a 58-yard game-winning drive. 2008: Jarrett Leeβs 18-yard touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell with 1:03 left gave No. 6 LSU a come-from-behind 26-21 win over No. 10 Auburn in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn had taken a 21-20 lead with just 6:40 left when Chris Todd found Robert Dunn for a 15-yard score, before Lee led LSU on the game-winning drive. In all, 21 of the 44 games played between the two schools have been decided by a touchdown or less, with LSU owning an 11-9-1 edge in those games. TALE OF THE TIGERS Auburn and LSU have been two of the most successful teams in the SEC during the past decade. Since 2000, LSU has the second-best record in the SEC in conference games at 59-25, while Auburn is fourth at 56-28. The winner of the Auburn-LSU game has represented the SEC West in Atlanta for the SEC Championship game six times in the last 10 years (Auburn in 2000 and 2004, LSU in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007). LSU won national championships in 2003 and 2007, while Auburn posted an undefeated season in 2004.

SCOOTINβ NEWTON Junior quarterback Cam Newton leads the SEC and ranks 11th nationally (third among quarterbacks) in rushing, averaging 122.9 yards per game. His numbers are even better in SEC games, as he averages 158.0 yards per game and has 10 rushing touchdowns - both league bests. He is the first player in school history to rush for three or more touchdowns in three consecutive SEC games, and the second player in school history to rush for three or more touchdowns in back-to-back games, joining Joe Cribbs (1979). In just seven games, Newton already has the sixth-best single-season rushing total by a quarterback in SEC history with 860 yards. With just over half the regular season completed, Newton is on pace to finish the regular season with 1,474 yards rushing. The SEC record for yards rushing by a quarterback in a single season is 1,006 by Auburnβs Jimmy Sidle in 1963. Newton, who leads the SEC in rushing by 174 yards over his nearest competitor, also has a chance to become the first quarterback to lead the SEC in rushing since Sidle in 1963.

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes FOUR OF THE TOP 50 Cam Newton has only played seven games at Auburn, but amazingly, he already owns four of the top 50 rushing performances in the history of a school known for its long line of stellar running backs. In his Auburn debut, Newton posted the second-highest rushing total ever for an Auburn quarterback, gaining 171 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas State. He topped that against South Carolina, going for 176 yards and three scores, then went for 198 yards and four TDs at Kentucky, tying the school single-game record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. He added 188 yards and three TDs against Arkansas. Newton is the only player in school history to rush for 170 or more yards in three consecutive Southeastern Conference games. Only two others rushed for at least 150 in three straight SEC games: James Brooks (1980) and Carnell Williams (2004). Newton is also only the second player in school history to rush for 170 ore more yards four times in a single season, joining Bo Jackson who accomplished the feat in 1985. MORE THAN JUST A RUNNER Cam Newton hasnβt only excelled with his feet, but also throwing the ball. Newton ranks second nationally in passing efficiency (180.73) and became the first quarterback in school history to throw at least two touchdown passes in each of the first five games of a season. No other Auburn quarterback had done that in as many as the first three games. Newton has accounted for five TDs in a game twice this season (vs. Arkansas State and South Carolina) and was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week after both games. In addition to his rushing and passing efficiency numbers, he leads the SEC and ranks 11th nationally in total offense (305.4), ranks sixth in the SEC in all-purpose yards (126.0), has caught a pass for 22 yards and even punted once for 22 yards. ON THE VERGE OF HISTORY Through seven games, Cam Newton is on pace to become the first quarterback in SEC history to throw for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season - a feat accomplished by just seven quarterbacks in NCAA history entering this season, including just three from BCS conference schools. Newton is currently on pace to finish the regular season with 2,191 yards passing and 1,474 yards rushing. The list of quarterbacks who have achieved the 2,000/1,000 milestone follows: QB Dwight Dasher Colin Kaepernick Joe Webb Colin Kaepernick Joe Webb Dan LeFevour Brad Smith Vince Young Brad Smith Woodrow Dantzler

CARRYING THE LOAD Cam Newton has been extremely vital to Auburnβs success this season, as he has had a hand in 25 of the teamβs 35 (71.4 pct.) offensive touchdowns, throwing for 13 and rushing for 12. The 25 TDs passing and rushing leads the nation and already ranks second best in a single season in school history, just one away from the school record held by Pat Sullivan (1970). Newton has accumulated 2,138 yards of total offense, with 1,278 yards through the air and 860 yards rushing. That makes him responsible for 63.5 percent of Auburnβs 3,368 yards of offense, which is ninth most nationally. OFFENSE KEEPS ROLLING Auburnβs offense continues to shine under second-year offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, as the Tigers rank sixth nationally in scoring offense (40.7) and rushing offense (283.7) and ninth in total offense (481.1). In 20 games under Malzahn, Auburn has totaled at least 500 yards of offense seven times. Prior to Malzahnβs arrival in 2009, Auburn hadnβt had a single 500-yard game since the 2005 Georgia game - a streak of 40 games. GAINING GROUND Auburnβs running game has been dominant this season, as the Tigers lead the SEC with their average of 283.7 yards per game. Auburn has four of the top 18 rushers in the SEC, led by junior quarterback Cam Newton, who averages a league-best 122.9 yards per game on the ground even after not calling his own number on a running play once Oct. 2 vs. ULM. Freshman Michael Dyer is 10th in the SEC averaging 63.3 yards per game, while sophomore Onterio McCalebb (53.4) and senior Mario Fannin (37.3) have also contributed in the ground game. Against South Carolina Sept. 25, Auburn had two 100-yard rushers in the same game for the third time in the last two seasons, as Newton had 176 yards on the ground and Dyer rushed for an even 100. Auburn rushed for 367 yards against Arkansas State, 334 yards against South Carolina, 311 yards at Kentucky and 330 yards against Arkansas. Since records became available in 1967, Auburn had never before rushed for at least 300 yards in three straight SEC games. In 20 games under Gus Malzahn Auburn has now rushed for at least 300 yards six times. Prior to Malzahnβs arrival, Auburn had just four 300-yard rushing games in the previous six seasons combined.

PASSING FANCY Auburn currently ranks second in the nation in passing efficiency with a rating of 178.07, thanks largely to two key factors. First, the Tigers lead the nation with an average of 10.47 yards per pass attempt. Only one other school (Boise State - 10.26) averages at least 10 yards per attempt. Second, the Tigers have scored touchdowns on 9.85 percent of their pass attempts, which is second in the nation. Individually, Cam Newton leads the SEC and ranks second in the country with a rating of 180.53, thanks largely to his nation-best 10.66 touchdown percentage, and his average of 10.48 yards per pass attempt, which also leads the country. BIG PLAYS The Tigers have run 17 plays already this season that covered at least 35 yards, including 10 that resulted in touchdowns. Last season, Auburn had 22 plays of at least 35 yards. In 2008, before Gus Malzahnβs arrival, the Tigers had just nine plays that covered 35 or more yards all season. EXPERIENCED O-LINE PAVES THE WAY Auburn has one of the most experienced if not one of the best offensive lines in the country, with four starters returning who have combined to make 137 career starts. Senior AllAmerican candidate and Outland Trophy watch list candidate Lee Ziemba has started all 45 games at tackle since arriving as a true freshman, while center Ryan Pugh, a Rimington Trophy candidate, has made 39 starts since his true freshman season. Guards Mike Berry (28 starts) and Byron Isom (25 starts) round out the experienced group. Auburnβs offensive line was ranked as the fifth-best OL unit in the country by Phil Steele and Lindyβs in their preseason publications. CARDIAC KIDS Auburn has won four games this season by single digits, including three games that were decided by just three points. The last time Auburn won three games by three of fewer points in the same season was 2007, and the last time Auburn was 3-0 in any season in games decided by three points or less was in 2001, when the Tigers beat Vanderbilt (24-21), Mississippi State (16-14) and Florida (23-20) on consecutive Saturdays. THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT Of Auburnβs 45 scoring drives in regulation this season, 18 have taken less than two minutes off the clock, while seven have taken more than four minutes. Fourteen used just four plays or fewer, while 12 others have used nine plays or more. Auburn held the ball for the final 7:22 of the game against Kentucky, driving 86 yards on
19 plays before Wes Byrum kicked a game-winning 24-yard field goal as time expired. The 19play drive tied for the second longest in school history, just missing the school record of 20 plays set at West Virginia in 2008. COMEBACK KIDS Auburn has trailed in five of its seven victories this season and overcame double-digit deficits to beat both Clemson and South Carolina. The Tigers trailed Clemson 17-0 in the second quarter Sept. 18 before winning 2724 in overtime, and trailed the Gamecocks 20-7 in the second period Sept. 25 before rallying for a 35-27 victory. It marked just the third time since 1970 that Auburn has had two wins in the same season while overcoming double digit deficits, and the first time it happened in consecutive games. In 1997, Auburn overcame 11-point deficits to beat both Alabama in the Iron Bowl and Clemson in the Peach Bowl. In 1972, Auburn trailed Georgia Tech by 14 and Alabama by 16 in the Punt Bama Punt game before winning both contests. The victory over Clemson also marked the first time that Auburn overcame a deficit of at least 17 points to win since Sept. 28, 2002, when the Tigers trailed Syracuse 17-0 at Jordan-Hare Stadium before coming back to win 37-34 in three overtimes. It was just Auburnβs fourth 17point deficit overcome in a victory since 1970. Year 2010 2010 1997 1997 1972 1972

STOPPING THE RUN Auburnβs defense has excelled against the run this season, ranking third in the SEC and 15th nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 101.7 yards per game. Auburn has held six of its last 11 opponents to less than 100 yards rushing dating back to the end of the 2009 season. The Tigers have not allowed a single running play of more than 26 yards this season. FOURTH QUARTER DEFENSE Auburnβs defense has stepped up late in games, as the Tigers have allowed just 21 points in the fourth quarter and overtime this season while limiting their four SEC opponents to just 11 fourth-quarter points. Auburn has held opponents to 5-of-23 (.217) on third-down conversion attempts in the fourth quarter and overtime, and forced turnovers on all four of South Carolinaβs fourth-quarter possessions Sept. 25 and three straight fourth-quarter drives by Arkansas Oct. 16.

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes CREATING TURNOVERS Auburn has forced 12 turnovers in the last four games, and eight of the 12 turnovers came in the fourth quarter, resulting in 42 Auburn points. In the first three games of the season, Auburn was -4 in turnover ratio (2 forced/6 giveaways), while in the last four games, Auburn is +8 in turnover ratio (12 forced/4 giveaways).
school history. Sophomore Onterio McCalebb returned a kickoff 99 yards against Arkansas. Junior Quindarius Carr has averaged 6.8 yards per punt return, which is eighth in the league. Freshman Demetruce McNeal has a team-high 10 tackles on special teams. In addition, senior Mike Blanc blocked a PAT against Arkansas State and freshman Antonio Goodwin blocked a punt against Arkansas.
FAIRLEY DOMINANT Nick Fairley has emerged as a force at defensive tackle for Auburn, leading the SEC in tackles for loss (13.5) and tying for second in sacks (5.0). His 13.5 tackles for loss are tied for fourth most in the country and he has at least one in every game this season. Fairley was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance at Mississippi State, where he totaled five tackles including 2.5 for losses and 1.5 sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and three quarterback hurries. He was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week after recording four tackles, three of which went for losses including a sack, against ULM.
CHIZIK ERA IN SECOND YEAR Head coach Gene Chizik is in his second year at the helm of the Auburn program, after recording the second-most wins by a first-year coach in Auburn history last season. He also became the first Auburn head coach to take his team to a bowl game in his initial season, leading the Tigers to a 38-35 overtime victory over Northwestern in the Outback Bowl. Chizik also became just the third coach in Auburn history to win his first five games as head coach, and became just the third SEC coach since the league expanded in 1992 to start 5-0.
BYNES LEADS LINEBACKERS Senior Josh Bynes led Auburn in tackles last season with 104, and is leading again this season with 42 tackles, including 4.5 tackles for loss. He has also recorded three interceptions, giving him seven for his career, two pass breakups and four quarterback hurries. Bynes has started the last 28 consecutive games at linebacker for the Tigers. BYRUM RECORD WATCH Lou Groza Award candidate Wes Byrum is closing in on becoming Auburnβs all-time leading scorer. Byrum, who set a school single-season record for points by a kicker last season with 99, has 69 points this season and needs just four more to pass John Vaughn (2003-06) for the top spot on Auburnβs career points scored list. Byrum is currently second on the list with 309 points, which ranks 18th in SEC history. Byrum had a field goal attempt blocked in the fourth quarter at Mississippi State, snapping a streak of nine consecutive made field goal attempts dating back to last season. His last previous miss was at Tennessee in 2009. He currently has a streak of six straight and has made 26 of his last 30 field goal attempts after hitting just 11-of-19 in 2008. He scored 17 points on three field goals and eight PATs vs. Arkansas Oct. 16, which was the most points by an Auburn kicker since Jaret Holmes had 17 against UAB in 1996. SPECIAL TEAMS IMPROVEMENTS In addition to Wes Byrum, a number of other players are excelling on special teams. Senior Demond Washington ranks eighth in the SEC averaging 25.2 yards per kickoff return, and had 126 kickoff return yards against Arkansas State, which is the 12th best total in
STAFF REMAINS INTACT Auburn achieved a rare feat by keeping its entire coaching staff from last season, making Auburn the only school in the SEC to return its head coach and every full-time assistant coach. The last time Auburn returned its entire coaching staff was when the 2006 staff returned intact in 2007. THE SENIOR CLASS Head coach Gene Chizik has a senior class that includes 24 players at Auburn in 2010, which is the largest in Auburn history and almost double the size of last yearβs senior class of 13. The previous largest senior class was 23 in 1988. The 2010 seniors include: OL Mike Berry, DL Mike Blanc, OL Jorrell Bostrom, WR Kodi Burns, LB Josh Bynes, K Wes Byrum, DE Antoine Carter, QB Neil Caudle, LB Wade Christopher, DL Zach Clayton, OL Bart Eddins, S Zac Etheridge, RB Mario Fannin, DE Michael Goggans, OL Byron Isom, DB Woody Parramore, OL Ryan Pugh, DB Aairon Savage, P Ryan Shoemaker, LB Craig Stevens, DB Demond Washington, WR Jay Wisner, WR Terrell Zachery and OL Lee Ziemba. IRON MEN Of Auburnβs 24 seniors, 13 have seen time in at least 30 games during their careers, including eight who have played in 40 or more games. Mario Fannin leads the group with 47 games played, including three in 2006 before redshirting and 44 games over the past four seasons, while Michael Goggans and Lee Ziemba have played in all 45 games since 2007. Mike Blanc and Wes Byrum are next with 44 games played each, followed by Zac Etheridge and Craig Stevens (43), Ryan Pugh (40), Kodi Burns and Antoine Carter (39), Mike Berry (38), Josh Bynes (37) and Zach Clayton (34).
SEC SUCCESS Since the 2004 season, Auburn has won 35 of its 52 Southeastern Conference games and 36 of its 53 games against SEC schools, including the 2004 SEC Championship game victory over Tennessee. Auburnβs success against conference schools dates back beyond 2004, however, as since the start of the 2000 season, the Tigers have the fourth best record among the 12 league schools in regular season conference games. The following are the combined conference records of the 12 SEC schools from 2000-10.

2010 Auburn Football Game Notes STARTS STREAKS Senior Lee Ziemba has the longest staring streak on the squad, having started all 45 games over the past four seasons. If he starts all 12 regular-season games this year, he will break Will Herringβs school records of 49 career starts and 49 consecutive starts. One other senior has a streak that dates back to his freshman season, as Ryan Pugh has made 35 straight starts. Senior Josh Bynes is next with 28 consecutive starts and senior Mike Berry has made 25 straight starts. Sophomore Daren Bates has started all 20 games over the last two seasons. HIGHLY TOUTED RECRUITING CLASS While Auburnβs seniors are a critical part of the team, another strong recruiting class is playing a big role in the Tigersβ success. Auburnβs 2010 recruiting class was ranked No. 4 in the nation by both ESPN.com/Scouts, Inc., and Rivals.com and sixth by Scout.com. Seven members of the recruiting class were part of the ESPNU 150. SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW The players on Auburnβs roster ranged in age from 17 to 23 when the season opened. The oldest Tiger, sixth-year senior Aairon Savage (DOB 12/29/86) was 23 years, eight months and six days old on the date of the season opener. The youngest player is freshman Jonathon Mincy (DOB 9/5/92), who celebrated his 18th birthday the day after the Arkansas State game. SUCCESSFUL RETURN FOR DBs Auburnβs secondary has been boosted by the return of three former starters who returned from injuries, including two that missed the entire 2009 season. Senior safety Zac Etheridge, who suffered a season-ending neck injury last Halloween against Ole Miss, is second on the team with 41 tackles, has an interception and a pass break-up, and returned a fumble 47 yards for a touchdown against Arkansas. Senior safety Aairon Savage, who missed both the 2008 (knee) and 2009 (Achilles) seasons in their entirety before being granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA in February, is third on the team with 37 tackles, including one for loss. Junior safety Mike McNeil, who missed all of 2009 after breaking his leg in the spring, has added 18 tackles and a pass break-up. YOUNG GUNS GET FIRST ACTION Auburn has played 15 true freshmen this season, including 12 who played in the season opener, which was tied for second behind Florida (15) for the most true freshmen played by any team in the country. The true freshmen who have played included: DL Kenneth Carter, P Steven Clark, LB Jessel Curry, DB Chris Davis,
RB Michael Dyer, WR Antonio Goodwin, LB Jake Holland, WR Shaun Kitchens, DE Corey Lemonier, DB Demetruce McNeal, K Cody Parkey, WR Trovon Reed, DE Craig Sanders, DB Ryan Smith and DL Jeffrey Whitaker. THIRD STRAIGHT NEW OPENING DAY QB Junior college transfer Cam Newton became Auburnβs third opening-day starter in as many seasons, but he is no stranger to the SEC. Newton played at Florida as a true freshman in 2007, rushing 16 times for 103 yards and three touchdowns, and also played in the 2008 opener before redshirting. He spent the 2009 season at Blinn (Texas) College, helping the team to the 2009 NJCAA national championship by passing for 2,833 yards and 22 scores while also rushing for 655 yards and 16 TDs, making him the No. 1-ranked junior college prospect in the country according to Rivals.com. JORDAN-HARE STADIUM Now celebrating its 71st year as home to the Auburn football team, Jordan-Hare Stadium is the nationβs 10th-largest on-campus stadium, with a capacity of 87,451 fans. The Tigers, who have averaged more than 80,000 fans during each of the past 17 seasons, are 275-69-7 (.793) all-time at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn has clinched its 11th straight winning season at Jordan-Hare Stadium, posting a mark of 61-15 (.803) at home since the 2000 season. The Tigers were undefeated at home during two of those seasons, going 7-0 in both 2000 and 2004. UNDER THE LIGHTS AT JORDAN-HARE Auburn has been tough to beat in night games at Jordan-Hare Stadium, accumulating a record of 22-4 (.846) since the 2000 season in home games starting at 6 p.m. or later, including a 3-0 mark this year. That stretch includes a 5-1 record against nationally-ranked opponents, with wins over No. 1 Florida in 2001, No. 2 Florida in 2006, No. 7 Tennessee in 2003, No. 12 South Carolina this season and No. 14 Georgia in 2000. TIGER GRADS Auburn began the season with 11 graduates on its roster, which is second most among all FBS schools. The Tiger graduates include: OL Mike Berry (Public Administration), DT Mike Blanc (Public Administration), DT Zach Clayton (Finance), S Zac Etheridge (Public Administration), RB Mario Fannin (Public Administration), DE Michael Goggans (Public Administration), OL Byron Isom (Public Administration), S Aairon Savage (Education/Masterβs in Exercise Science), P Ryan Shoemaker (Exercise Science), LB Craig Stevens (Business Management) and WR Terrell Zachery (Public Administration).

October 24, 2009 Tiger Stadium (92,654) β’ Baton Rouge, La. No. 9 LSU was too much for Auburn in Baton Rouge as Auburn fell, 31-10, before a crowd of 92,654 at noisy Tiger Stadium. Three turnovers and penalties plagued Auburn in the first half, and while the offense struggled against what Head Coach Gene Chizik called "one of the best defenses in the country," Auburn fought to the end--scoring its only touchdown on the last play of the game. Auburn's offense finished with a total of 193 yards--with 151 of them coming in the second half. Ben Tate led Auburn with 67 yards on 18 carries, while Mario Fannin added 56 yards SCORING SUMMARY on just six carries.

LSU drove to the Auburn 15 but had to settle for a 32-yard field goal by Josh Jasper to go ahead 17-0 with :09 remaining in the half. LSU took advantage of a short field on the opening drive of the second half, going 45 yards in 4 plays to go ahead 24-0 on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Jefferson to Brandon LaFell less than two minutes into the third quarter. Auburn responded with big runs by Ben Tate on a 53-yard, 9-play scoring drive deep into LSU territory. The Tigers settled for a 24-yard Wes Byrum field goal to cut the lead to 24-3 at the 9:21 mark of the third quarter. LSU responded as back-up quarterback Russell Shepard lined up in the backfield and ran off left guard for a 69-yard touchdown to put LSU ahead 31-3. The Tigers fought to the end as back-up quarterback Neil Caudle led Auburn on an 8-play, 59-yard scoring drive. Caudle found freshman tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen on a 1-yard scoring toss with :03 remaining to make the score 3110. Auburn's defense was led by sophomore linebacker Eltoro Freeman, who had 12 tackles, including a sack and 2 tackles for loss, in just his fourth career start. Neiko Thorpe was second on the team with eight tackles.

Cam Newton accounted for five touchdowns and 357 yards of total offense, rushing for a school-record 171 yards on 15 carries as a quarterback, as Auburn defeated Arkansas State, 52-26, to open up the 2010 football season. Newton, playing in his first game at Auburn, rushed for three touchdowns and threw for two others as Auburn racked up 608 yards of total offense on the night. Arkansas State struck first, but Auburn scored on three of its next four posessions to take a 21-6 lead. Kodi Burns got it started with a 3-yard run with 3:27 left in the first quarter. Mario Fannin followed with a 36-yard reception from Cam Newton less than three minutes later. Newton then picked up his first rushing touchdown on a 2-yard run with 9:43 left in the half. The teams traded blows to wrap up the half. After an ASU touchdown Auburnβs Quindarius Carr responded 47 seconds later with a 48 yard catch from Newton to put the lead back at 28-13. Following an ASU field goal, Newton closed out the half by tearing off on a 71yard run on a broken play, picking up his second rushing touchdown of the game. Auburn took a 35-16 lead into the half as Newton rushed for two scores and threw another in the first half alone, taking less than two minutes on each drive and using only 16 total plays. ASU struck first again in the second half, but Fannin caught his second touchdown pass of the game with 8:07 left in the third quarter. The Tigers extended the lead as time expired in the quarter with Wes Byrum connecting on his first field goal of the season, a 24-yard attempt. Freshman Michael Dyer scored his first career touchdown with 9:11 left in the game, coming in on a 2-yard run to make the score 52-23. He finished the night with 95 yards rushing.

Cam Newton, Nick Fairley and a strong Tiger defense led No. 21 Auburn to a 17-14 victory over Mississippi State in the SEC opener for both teams at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field on Sept. 9. It is AUβs 17th SEC-opening win in 18 tries. Newton threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 70 yards while defensive lineman Fairley had an interception, fumble recovery and three sacks. The Tigers defense limited Mississippi State to only 246 total yards. Auburn took the opening kickoff and grabbed a quick 7-0 lead only 3:38 into the game on a 39-yard Newton touchdown pass on a screen to Emory Blake, marking his first touchdown reception of his career. On the 8-play, 68-yard drive, Newton converted a huge 4th and 1 from the State 46. After the Tigers sacked the Bulldogs three straight times on a three and out, two by Nick Fairley and the other by Mike Blanc, Quindarius Carr fumbled the ensuing punt and Mississippi State recovered it at the Auburn 20 yard line. State tied it up three plays later from the Tigers 2 as quarterback Chris Reif fumbled the ball into the end zone and State offensive lineman Gabe Jackson recovered it with 2:30 remaining in the opening quarter. Fairley intercepted State quarterback Tyler Russell's pass at midfield, setting up Auburn's eight play touchdown drive to give the Tigers a 14-7 lead with 8:37 left in the half. On 3rd and goal from the State 12, Newton threw his second touchdown pass of the game, this time to Darvin Adams. Fairley continued his outstanding performance with a fumble recovery at the State 44 on the Bulldogs' next possession. It led to a 34-yard Wes Byrum field goal for the final scoring of the first half that stretched Auburn's lead to 17-7 with 4:29 remaining. Mississippi State took the opening kickoff of the second half and closed to within 17-14 on a 1-yard touchdown run on third down by Vick Ballard with 8:55 left in the third quarter. The Bulldogs used 12 plays to drive 63 yards. The Bulldogs then recovered an onside kick at their own 44. Auburn held the Mississippi State to a three and out to finally gain its first second half possession with 8:28 to go in the third at its own 12 yard line. Mississippi State blocked Byrum's 37 yard field goal attempt with 2:19 to play. The Bulldogs took over at their own 20 yard line and converted a fourth and 4 from their own 26 to the MSU 48 with 90 seconds remaining.

Wes Byrum's 39-yard field goal in the first overtime period propelled No. 16 Auburn to a thrilling 27-24 win over Clemson in front of a sold-out Jordan-Hare Stadium on Sept. 18. Auburn trailed 17-3 at halftime but used a 21-point third quarter to take a lead before winning in the first overtime period. Clemson's Chandler Catanzaro had a chance to send the game to a second overtime period but missed a 32-yard field goal into the Auburn student section end of the stadium. Darvin Adams finished the game with 118 yards on five catches with a touchdown, including an eight-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter that tied the game at 17-17. Onterrio McCalebb led Auburn on the ground with 81 yards and a touchdown on 10 rushes and teammate Michael Dyer had 69 yards on 16 rushes. Cam Newton was 7-for-14 for 203 yards and two touchdowns and added 68 yards on the 17 rushes. Auburn, which last overcame a 17-0 deficit in 2002, went up 24-17 lead as Newton and Adams hooked up for four completions that covered 95 yards and directly led to two touchdowns, with Adams catching one and McCalebb running one in. McCalebb's 12-yard touchdown run capped a six-play, 61-yard drive for Auburn to start the comeback, bringing Auburn to within a touchdown, 17-10, midway through the third quarter. The big play on the drive was Newton's 34-yard pass to Adams on a third and one play that brought the ball to the Clemson 18 yard line.
