REPLAY: Ole Miss takes down Auburn 28-21 in week 8 of college football

Ole Miss football will try to score its first SEC road victory of the season when it travels to Jordan-Hare Stadium to take on Auburn on Saturday.

The Rebels (5-1, 2-1 SEC) will be looking to secure back-to-back wins in their series against the Tigers (3-3, 0-3) for the first time since 1952.

It's a game that will offer no shortage of storylines. Rebels coach Lane Kiffin was heavily connected with the open Auburn job last fall. That vacancy was ultimately filled by former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, who will be coaching against the Rebels for the second time since his resignation in 2017.

Ole Miss will benefit from some rest in this one, having just come off its open week. Auburn suffered a lopsided defeat at LSU the last time it took the field.
