Memphis registered their second straight nine-win season behind the arm of quarterback Paxton Lynch.

But the Arsenal boss suggested on Wednesday that he was open to offers for the former Newcastle man. Mathieu Flamini has a chance to come back and I think Alexis Sanchez is a bit short.

This mismatch, though, came with a twist. From the 8 yard line White handed the ball off to Kerryon Johnson who used a spin move and broke a few tackles to force his way into the end zone, giving Auburn a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Ray and his teammates celebrated a victory that gave the Tigers a 7-6 record and their first bowl victory in Gus Malzahn’s third season as their head coach. Sean White, a red-shirt freshman, has played in six games and completed 75-of-130 passes for 1,064 yards and a touchdown.

This way, the story still gets out there for anyone who cares to find it, but it doesn’t drag down the larger movie arc. The package was last seen with Jor Tribulus, a deceased stormtrooper captain that fought in the Battle of Endor.

“We have a great relationship”, Johnson said.

Those two scores turned a tie game into a 24-10 Auburn lead.

Memphis (9-4, 5-3 American Athletic Conference) entered the game averaging 510.4 total yards per game, but it was held to 203 yards. The team was a popular pick to win the SEC but the season fizzled beneath struggles at quarterback and on defense.

Let us marvel at this play.

Johnson said he’ll be back to build on his game.

Auburn didn’t have a good passing attack this season, that’s just the reality.

Actually, it was a thorough job by every phase of the Auburn team. Marcus Davis set up two of the touchdowns with punt returns of 28 and 56 yards. “I consulted with University of Memphis President M. David Rudd and have spoken to both incoming head coach Mike Norvell and interim head coach Darrell Dickey and they completely support my decision”, Bowen said. Mississippi State – QB Dak Prescott does it all, throwing for 3,413 yards and 25 TDs while rushing for 541 yards and a team-high 10 TDs. Johnson finished the game with 1 for 1 in passes completed, 11 passing yards and a touchdown. “But I’m glad for him, though, he’s definitely deserving of what he did today”. “He gave us some momentum in the second half, there’s no doubt about it”. Peyton Barber has 976 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns for Auburn. This game has the look of an upset, with Memphis doing enough to pull out a tight win, 31-30. “I knew a lot of guys that play for Memphis”. “It’s a rivalry for me”. Auburn then started a run of offensive success that lasted into the 4th quarter. Ball is seen on the ground with an equipment staff employee.

The first error Memphis made is a pretty common one. Lynch had seven first-half TD throws in the regular season finale against SMU, a 63-0 win.

Throws two interceptions, including a pick-6, to make game Auburn dominated a 10-10 contest at halftime? The story of the 2015 Birmingham Bowl was going to be wrapped around how the Auburn Tigers put up 21-unanswered points in the second half to take down Paxton Lynch and his Memphis Tigers.

Maybe the best sight for sore eyes of all was Jeremy Johnson coming out of the bullpen to throw for one touchdown and run for another.

Auburn was predicted by many to win the SEC Championship and contend for a College Football Playoff spot. Lance Thompson – who coached linebackers in his first season at Auburn – will take over as interim defensive coordinator.
