7:55 PM: The onsides kick is all for naught as Ole Miss goes three-and-out and punts the ball where it is called for a fair catch at the 19-yard line.

7:50 PM: Ole Miss pulls an onsides kick that is successfully recovered by Fon Ingram. The Rebels take over from their own 43-yard line.

7:46 PM: Brandon Bolden takes a 20-yard handoff to the house giving him six touchdowns on the season. That is also a career best. Bryson Rose's PAT is good making the score Auburn 44, Ole Miss 24 with 12:28 to play.

7:45 PM: Today's attendance of 61, 474 is the fifth-largest in school history.

7:38 PM: That ends the 3Q with Ole Miss driving, but trailing on the scoreboard by a score of 44-17.

6:52 PM: The 3D commercial at halftime featured a member of each Ole Miss sports team.

6:38 PM: Wes Byrum connects on a 35-yard FG and that'll take us to the half with Auburn leading 34-17.

6:32 PM: Ole Miss opted to go for it on fourth down from their own 41-yard line and came up short. Ole Miss has challanged the play and the play stands as called on the field.

6:22 PM: Bryson Rose drills a 33-yard FG. He is now 9-of-11 on the season and has made three consecutive attempts.

6:15 PM: With that carry, Jeff Scott is up to 114 yards rushing. That's already a career high eclipsing the 74-yard day he had against Fresno State earlier in the season.

6:07 PM: That was easy. Two third down conversions leads to a 24-yard TD pass from Cam Newton to Darvin Adams. 24-14 Tigers with 6:51 left before the half.

5:56 PM: The handoff exchange from Cam Newton to Onterio McCalebb was fumbled and returned by Jason Jones to the Auburn 18-yard line. I know you're wondering and the answer is "yes." Cam Newton did make the tackle.

5:53 PM: Ole Miss is forced to punt for the second time today (I know, I can't believe it, either) and Auburn will regain possession at their own 26-yard line.

5:23 PM: On 3rd and 1 Auburn's Onterio McCalebb takes the handoff 68-yards to the endzone. Auburn leads 14-7 with 8:06 to play in the 1Q.

5:18 PM: Ole Miss is forced to punt from their own 32-yard line. Tyler Campbell's punt rolls out of bounds at Auburn's 23-yard line.

5:04 PM: Jeff Scott takes the second play of the game 83-yards to the house. Bryson Rose's PAT is good and the Rebels lead 7-0. That's the longest run this season eclipsing Brandon Bolden's 71-yard run against Fresno State. That's also the longest run since Dexter McCluster's 86-yard touchdown run in the 2010 Cotton Bowl. That makes two touchdown runs of 50+ yards for Jeff Scott.

5:00 PM: ESPN's Scott Van Pelt with the pregame "Are You Ready?" followed by Kentrell Lockett's video instructing the crowd how to cheer.

4:57 PM: Really cool pregame intro video featuring video images from Ole Miss football and AC/DC's "Thunderstruck." Yes, folks, the Rebels are in gray uniforms.
