Ole Miss faces Auburn Saturday, Oct. 31 at 11:45 a.m. CT in Oxford’s Vaught‑Hemingway Stadium. The Rebels, now 5‑1 when ranked higher, look to extend a two‑game winning streak against the Tigers, who lead the all‑time series 35‑12. Auburn, fresh off an upset of #1 Georgia, needs a win to keep SEC playoff hopes alive after losses to LSU, Tennessee and Florida. The game airs on SEC Network with a live stream on the ESPN app.
In Week 9 of the SEC, Auburn travels to Oxford to face Ole Miss, a game that could hinge on quarterback Byrum Brown’s rushing ability. After a massive upset over top‑ranked Georgia, Auburn’s ground game faltered against LSU, but the Rebels have surrendered the most rushing yards in the conference—over 161 per game, including 222 to Texas. Brown’s 480 career rushing yards and six rushing TDs give Auburn a potential edge, though the Tigers’ offensive line has allowed 30 sacks this season, making pass protection a liability. If Auburn can exploit Ole Miss’s weak run defense, the matchup may tilt in their favor despite being the underdog.
