The Oklahoma Sooners were clearly the better team in this year’s edition of the Sugar Bowl. While Auburn’s offense essentially had both arms tied behind its back without quarterback Sean White, the Sooners outclassed the Tigers on both sides of the ball for most of the night.

On the same day that the Auburn defensive line was dealt the blow of losing Carl Lawson to the NFL Draft, their offensive counterparts received some better news. Right guard Braden Smith announced on Wednesday that he will return to the program for his senior season.

Playing with a 7-0 lead in the second quarter and in prime position to get another stop against one of the nation's most explosive offenses, all the Auburn defense had to do was stop No. 7 Oklahoma from converting on 3rd-and-22. Kevin Steele's unit, to that point, had been playing with the same tenacity and stinginess that defined it throughout the regular season.

Many view Auburn running back Kamryn Pettway as the bruising back that powered Auburn's lethal offense, or as a future professional player. Look beyond the 1,123 yards and seven scores, and you'll find a family man.

When defensive linemen Montravius Adams and Carl Lawson arrived on Auburn’s campus in 2013, they were the headlining recruits for a program in disarray. Auburn had just gone 3-9 and hired a new head coach. What their college years would produce was uncertain.

Though its regular season might have ended sourly, Auburn could still have an ending to the 2016 season that's as sweet as sugar.

The end of the 2016 regular season was not a pretty one for Gus Malzahn's Auburn Tigers.

Down 53-39 to Indiana after three quarters, it appeared that Auburn was heading toward its second-consecutive non-conference loss after its loss to West Virginia on Thursday. Unlike that game, which was played in Savannah, Georgia, this loss would come in the confines of their own arena.

Most defenses in college football would be staring at a huge deficit if their offensive counterparts gained one first down in 30 minutes of football against Alabama, a program that's won four national titles in seven years thanks largely to their own suffocating defense.

Kevin Steele is no stranger to the Iron Bowl. Auburn's defensive coordinator spent much of his youth in Prattville, Alabama, and served on Nick Saban's staff at Alabama from 2007-2008 and 2013-2014. His side on the rivalry has changed since then, but his opinion of its ferocity has not.

When Jeremy Johnson arrived at Auburn in 2013, he was considered one of the best young quarterback prospects in the country and a perfect fit as the future of Gus Malzahn's offense. It seemed like the sky was the limit once he took the reigns from the explosive Nick Marshall.

After a disappointing 13-7 loss to Georgia in Athens, one in which the Auburn defense allowed just a pair of field goals, Kevin Steele's unit has put the result behind it and begun preparations for FCS foe Alabama A&M.

Rarely does writing a "day-after dissection" piece actually feel like a literal dissection. Then again, rarely does a Gus Malzahn offense go an entire half without so much as gaining a first down, let alone in a game with national championship hopes on the line.

For the first few weeks of Auburn's 2016 campaign, the offense struggled to establish its identity while the defense did all it could to save the day. It happened in the 19-13 loss to Clemson. It happened in the 29-16 loss to Texas A&M.

Auburn running back Kamryn Pettway, who injured his left leg in the No. 9 Tigers' 23-16 win over Vanderbilt, dressed out for practice on Wednesday, offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee confirmed during his weekly press conference. The extent to which he participated, as well as his status for Saturday's pivotal game at Georgia, is unclear.

After winning its last three SEC games by an average score of 45-15, Auburn received a stiff test from an upset-minded Vanderbilt team.

A common cliche in the world of sports is "practice makes perfect." It's been uttered so many times that it doesn't necessarily hold much weight as legitimate advice, as true as it might be.

For one play in the third quarter of Auburn's 40-29 win at Ole Miss, sophomore Chandler Cox lined up at quarterback as the Ole Miss defense scrambled around trying to get a read on whatever trickery the Tigers were trying to pull. The possibilities of the formation seemed limitless, but in reality, there was only one outcome: Cox wouldn't be getting the snap.
(10/31/16 1:57am)
No. 15 Auburn faced a stiff test at Ole Miss on Saturday in a game that might have been the Tigers' biggest hurdle before the potentially SEC West-deciding Iron Bowl. Even at 3-4, the Rebels explosive offense had shown all year that it can move and score on anybody, especially with the arm of Chad Kelly.
(10/30/16 7:09pm)
For much of the first half against Ole Miss, Auburn's defense, one of the elite units in college football during the first seven games, looked more like its 2014 self, which collapsed in October and never recovered. That unit, not unlike this year's, was solid through the first half of its schedule, but a 38-23 loss to Dak Prescott and Mississippi State sent the Tigers defense into a tailspin.
