Auburn is on a six-game winning streak in the series, including a 31-20 win in 2021, and the Tigers have scored at least 30 points in five of the last six meetings.

Standout running back Tank Bigsby rushed for nearly 1,100 yards in 2021, and he has more than 430 total yards and four touchdowns in 2022. On defense, Auburn is holding opponents to a completion rate below 60% and only 6.5 yards per pass attempt this season. Opponents have only two passing touchdowns against Auburn this season, and senior linebacker Derick Hall creates havoc. Hall has four sacks, 30 total tackles, and an interception in 2022 after a nine-sack performance during the 2021 season.
