Mobile Press-Register Now momentum in the rivalry is back on Auburn's side, and cornerback Noah Igbinoghene sees it staying that way . . . Now, with the 2020 NFL Draft less than two months away, Davidson is out to prove to teams he at least belongs in the same breath as Brown and is deserving of being a first-round pick come April . . . Looking at the numbers from the last five recruiting cycles (2016-20), it's obvious what Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and his staff consider the program's recruiting bread and butter . . . Davidson was in rare form Thursday while speaking to the media at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, as the confident, comical and loquacious lineman basked in his moment on stage, answering a wide range of questions covering his position and versatility, his passion for the game his personality and so much more . . . On Thursday at the NFL Combine, Coe addressed for the first time publicly what went into his decision and why he felt it was in his best interest to leave the team . . . Nick Saban ultimately claimed the play was "unfair" after the game, and the ensuing first down allowed Auburn to run out the clock, giving the Tigers their second in over the Tide in the rivals' last three meetings . . . Auburn's commitments are defensive tackle Blount defensive lineman Lee Hunter (56) and Hewitt-Trussville running back Armoni Goodwin (85) . . . Pearl's team heads into the contest two games out of first place in the league race with time running out for the Tigers to catch the Wildcats . . . Just ask Pearl what it means to have Okoro back in the lineup . . . No. 15 Auburn (24-4, 11-4 SEC) travels to Kentucky, where the Tigers have not won since 1988 . . . The third quarter was all Auburn . . . Bruce Pearl's Tigers have won their previous two matchups vs. Kentucky, but suffered by far their most lopsided loss of the 2018-19 season on their last trip to Lexington . . . Probably one of the reasons for this group's success is that Coach Pearl and his staff have been willing to play so many people . . . That's why the crowd of 9,121 packed inside Auburn Arena on Tuesday night erupted when Okoro was introduced as a starter prior to No. 15 Auburn's 67-58 victory over Ole Miss, ending his three-game absence caused by that hamstring suffered against the Crimson Tide . . . Pearl did not plan for Okoro to play even close to 27 minutes . . . Seniors Austin Wiley and Doughty led the way offensively for No. 15 Auburn . . . Staying positive and focused through the good times and the bad was part of Auburn's preseason preparation . . . Getting Williams and Ward back in the starting lineup would be important for the Tigers and not just offensively . . . Smith began his career at East Tennessee State, where in two seasons led the team to an overall 30-23 record . . . Senior outfielder Alyssa Rivera was 2-for-3 against UCLA with her third home run and 2-for-4 against Cal . . . Something that the Auburn coaching staff mentioned that it felt would be a team strength this season has been of some concern so far, leadership or rather vocal leadership . . . The Tigers have one more meet to perform in front of their home fans this season and that will be Friday night . . . At the plate Ryan Bliss and Brody Moore both had a pair of hits for the Tigers while Brown and Davis supplied the power with the early home runs to give the Tigers some life . . . Losing three straight days in a row (1-3, 3-7, 2-12), revealed all the work the Tigers have to do . . . |
