Remarkably even game overall, with the teams producing identical success rates, Ole Miss creating one more scoring opportunity, and Auburn finishing opportunities better (i.e. not losing fumbles twice inside the 10). It's still a gut-wrenching way for Ole Miss to lose, but Auburn continues to prove itself as a very, very good team against a very, very tough schedule.
