Perhaps more than anything, the momentum, positive or negative, gained from this game will be of the utmost importance for the Auburn program. Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch threw 28 touchdown passes against only three interceptions during the regular season while completing 69 percent of his passes for 3,670 yards.

Ball had two interceptions in the 31-10 loss and returned his second pick for a touchdown in the second quarter, but he didn’t get away with one of Auburn’s eight game balls.

“I think my performance throughout the last part of the season was a testament to my work ethic during the summer and the spring”, Robinson said. The Auburn defense held Memphis quarterback Paxton Lync to just 57 yards passing on 19 attempts in the first half. They won nine games this year with a chance at winning a 10th in this bowl game against Auburn, which would have to be considered a banner season for that university. “When I go out there, I’m trying to make every play possible, and I know I left a few throws out there today”. Meanwhile, Memphis was able to pick up a 53 yard field goal and also turned one of those INTs into a 50+ yard pick-six. 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. Auburn is going to try and pound the football at Memphis and hope to get a lead and then sit on it. Memphis averages 43 points per game, but it’s hard to imagine they’ll be as proficient against Auburn as teams like SMU, Tulsa, and Kansas.
