And while the quarterback position is still a major question mark for Auburn (7-6) moving forward, the win is a nice way to move into the offseason. Memphis had halted a three-game losing streak after briefly climbing in to the playoff dialog with a 63-Zero romp over SMU within the regular-season finale when Lynch fired seven first-half touchdown passes. He ran for 26 yards on three carries but only attempted one pass.
Instead they took out a season’s worth of frustration all over Memphis and its future National Football League quarterback.
Memphis is led by interim coach Darrell Dickey.
In the days and hours leading up to kickoff, speculation about the replacement for Will Muschamp at defensive coordinator surrounded Auburn.

Ball had two interceptions and one tackle for a loss Wednesday. If he gets hot early, the Wolfpack have a shot at the upset. The Wolfpack are playing a short distance from home and have 15 players from the Charlotte area, including TE/FB Jaylen Samuels (315 rushing yards, 7 TDs; 64 receptions, 599 yards, 7 TDs). He lines up at both spots. Brissett has thrown for 2,448 yards and 19 TDs with just four INTs this year. But Lynch emerged as an efficiency stud, finishing fifth in the nation is completion percentage (69 percent) and ninth in yards per pass attempt (9.0). Mississippi State is 10-8 in bowl games. “Their defense, to be quite honest, defended us better than anybody’s defended us in the last two years”. Ross has at least 100 yards receiving in the past four games.

Mississippi State is also looking to win nine games for the second straight year for the first time in program history.
KEY MATCHUP Louisville has the 13th-stingiest defense in the nation, allowing just 323.4 yards per game. The Aggies rank third nationally in tackles for loss – led by Myles Garrett’s SEC-best 18.5 – and held teams to 161.2 passing yards.
White was 8 of 13 for 103 yards.
Sean White got the start at quarterback for Auburn, but he threw two interceptions in the first half and played sparingly in the second half. TEXAS A&M Sophomore Jake Hubenak is making his first start after both Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray transferred earlier this month.

It’s back to back bowl appearances, another SEC matchup and a chance to see their new coach after a Cinderella-like season. Carlton Davis continues to show why he was 1st team Freshman All-SEC. Memphis was doing a couple of things to make the Auburn line look less effective than it really was.
