Everything Bruce Pearl said following No. 16 Auburn's double-digit win at Ole Miss

Bruce Pearl said on Friday that if Auburn was going to compete for a SEC championship, the team would have to "start thinking about" winning games against Quad I competition on the road, like the one presented on Saturday night at Ole Miss. Mission accomplished. "That's the best win of the year for us," Pearl said. "We talked about if we are going to think about competing for the conference championship, really, then we have to win one of these, like one that nobody else is going to win. I don't know if anyone else is going to come in here and win. This was a separator for us. It will give our kids some confidence. This was an important one." More from Pearl inside...
