McClain had 10 solo tackles, including two for loss and two sacks, earning him linebacker of the week honors from the conference. McClain had 14 tackles altogether, which led the team and was his 11th career double-digit tackle effort. The Tigers held the Rebels on three fourth-down tries in the red zone and only 4-of-8 red-zone scores. Wooden earned his defensive lineman of the week acclaim with five tackles, including four solo and a quarterback hurry during the win. Auburn held Ole Miss to three points in the second half, which was the second-fewest points in a half by the Rebels this season. The Tigers’ next game is Saturday at 2:30 CST on the road against No. 13 Texas A&M. Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.
