That's more like it.  I haven't felt this good about an Auburn victory in a long time.  Great, complete game from start to finish in all phases.

Stat, curious if you have any data on QB hurries....I think I saw Lawson had somewhere around 18 so far and I wondered where that put him nationally (season total to date) and what the Auburn single season record is.

[AUMASTERS 555]

During each team's last 6 possessions of the game, Auburn gained 302-yards on 37 snaps, scoring 4 touchdowns. Arkansas gained 58-yards on 26 snaps and zero points. What a dominating way to close out a game.

The Defense played angry the whole game, even late in the game when we had 2nd & 3rd stringers in they were still attacking the ball- I bet we won't have any teams congregating on our AU symbol before the start of another game.

[Linayus 676]

Remember when people were worried about Auburn not being a run-oriented team when Gus was hired?

Stat...great job, I'm sure you had to go 'deep' to find all the information needed to find the 'stuff'

In the company of a former number 2 and bo jackson running the ball, not too bad  thanks for sharing man

[Eagle Eye 7 2,535]

Something must be wrong with these numbers. I remember well when folks said we could never field a strong defense when running Gus's HUNH offense. Maybe we are missing something.  WDE

[alexava 6,973]

There has been a lot "said". 

[Tony Buford 7]

I read somewhere that we gained over 240 yards BEFORE contact.  Is that possible?
