No. 12 Auburn crushed Ole Miss, 44-23, at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday.
The Tigers (5-1, 3-0 SEC) were led by three rushing touchdowns by Kerryon Johnson, who had a career-high 204 rushing yards and two receptions for 23 yards, and Jarrett Stidham (14 of 21 for 235 yards and two scores).
Ole Miss (2-3, 0-2 SEC) became the first team to score more than 14 points against the Tigers this season as Shea Patterson became the first QB to throw for over 300 yards against Auburn since Chad Kelly did it for Ole Miss last season.
