From Sylvester Smith flying around the field with highlight tackles, to Cam Coleman showing that rare mix of talent and nastiness, this Aubur...

Inside Jordan-Hare Stadium, the Tigers dominated Ball State in a 42-3 blowout, and yet the conversation after the game had less to do with the win and more to do with how the offense looked.

Auburn defense swagger back. That is the energy I have been begging to see, and it finally felt real. I love a confident group as long as they back it up.

Go make a play, hand your QB the rock, and tell...

Against Auburn, that completely flipped. Robertson was sacked multiple times, fl...
