The Tuscaloosa media has been reporting that LT Lewis Macklin has been paying other students to help him take exams and do homework assignments. So, he's going to miss this game. Weather: Clear.
FB Jeremy Fulmore scoots through the line and goes in from 7 yards out, 7-0 Bama. On Auburn's next possession the AUB QB is stripped of the ball, but an AUB OL falls on it in the endzone for a safety, 9-0.
AUB K Holmes hits a 37 yard FG, 9-3. QB Jesse Russ throws a 13 yard TD pass to HB Nick Brown, 16-3.
HB Brown scores on a 4 yard toss play. We go for two and QB Russ throws in the flat to FB Fulmore for the conversion, 24-3.
HB Brown goes in from 4 yards out to make it 31-3. MLB Derek Lamb picks off a pass and returns it 34 yards for the score, 38-3. HB Andre Barnes busts a 65 yard TD run, 45-3. QB Joe Carter scoots into the endzone from 7 yards out as time expires.
Auburn played really hard in this game even though the final score does not show it. We beat and battered their true freshman QB, but amazingly he wasn't knocked out of the game. Auburn was inside our 40 yard line at least 4 other times besides their FG drive. Our defense rose up every single time.
