Week 9 – Oct. 31: Home vs. Ole Miss, Jordan-Hare Stadium Auburn, Alabama
Last year when the Tigers traveled to Oxford, they narrowly defeated the Ole Miss Rebels and the fierce ‘landshark’ defense 35-31. During this matchup last year, Rebels wide receiver Laquon Treadwell went down with a season ending leg injury that halted an Ole Miss scoring chance.
This season, the Tigers will continue their run of home wins against the Rebels and hand Hugh Freeze‘s team one of their few losses in 2015.
Rebels tight end Evan Engram will have a big game for Ole Miss but will be kept out of the end zone by Muschamp’s defense.
Auburn will dive deep into their defensive rotation in this game and guys that aren’t usually talked about will surface for the Tigers in week nine.
Record after week nine: 7-1
