Reggis Ball Expelled For Bailing With Birmingham Bowl Ball
Ball had an altercation with a member of Auburn’s equipment staff, stole an Auburn football and ran off the field following Memphis’ 31-10 loss in the Birmingham Bowl.

Memphis lost the Birmingham Bowl, and after the game, they lost their cool.
For the first time since the first half of the Louisville game to start the season the Auburn defense was healthy.
Johnson threw the go-ahead touchdown pass in the third quarter, ran for another score early in the fourth and brought life to what had been a hard-fought game that was 10-10 before the dramatics begin in front of a Birmingham Bowl record crowd of 59,430 in Legion Field. “We haven’t had to move off that number as USC is still getting just over 75 percent of the action to cover”.
Auburn’s defense against the Memphis passing game led by QB Paxton Lynch. Coach Gus Malzahn confirmed after the game that Kevin Steele will take over as the Auburn defensive coordinator.
“We will certainly look into what happened and get the facts squared away”, Dickey said.
Johnson gave Auburn a 17-10 lead with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jason Smith.
Lynch could never get untracked in what might be the final college game for the projected top-five National Football League draft pick. Jovon Robinson rushed for 122 yards to lead the winners’ attack.
“He got his opportunity”, Malzahn said of Johnson, who had three carries for 26 yards and his only pass was the touchdown.
“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.
We’ve already mentioned how well the defense played in this game, and how a lot of that can be contributed to how Thompson prepared them heading into the Birmingham Bowl.
Quarterback Paxton Lynch and the Memphis offense have been a mismatch for plenty of opposing defenses over the last two years. “When I go out there, I’m trying to make every play possible, and I know I left a few throws out there today”.
Lynch ended the game completing 17-of-38 passes for 104 yards, no touchdowns and an interception.
This was simply a case of SEC size and speed wearing down the smaller Memphis team and taking control at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. “Our secondary just really locked down the receivers, didn’t give them much room”.
