Auburn picked up its most impressive win of the season Saturday night, downing No. 10 Ole Miss at Jordan-Hare Stadium, 31-2o.
It was the 4th win in the last 5 games for the 18th-ranked Tigers (6-2, 3-1 SEC), with the lone loss having come at the hands of top-ranked Georgia.
Quarterback Bo Nix was the hero for Auburn, as he accounted for 306 yards of total offense and 3 touchdowns in the winning effort.
Tank Bigsby also came up big for the Tigers, as he rushed for a game-high 140 yards and a touchdown.
After the game, Auburn coach Bryan Harsin met with the media.
Here’s a look at what he had to say following the win over the Rebels:
