Just three days after No. 21 Auburn held serve at home and defeated (at the time) No. 13 Arkansas by 13 points, the largest margin of victory over the Razorbacks (+13) since a 23-point win in 2019, Bruce Pearl's squad faced a big challenge. That challenge was having limited preparation time before traveling to Ole Miss to face an always tough Kermit Davis team. Not to mention, trying to win two straight at Ole Miss for the first time since the 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons. (You read that right.) And for the second time since a lackluster loss at Georgia one week ago, this Auburn team responded. Tigers 82, Rebels 73. First Thoughts are inside.
