Saturday’s result also highlighted Auburn’s depth — the Tigers had six players finish in double digits, doubling Alabama’s three players. “You got to play well early if you’re going to win on the road — we played well early.” Auburn adds to the nation’s best resume’ by far, in control for all but a fleeting moment at Alabama. … We’ll just take it one game at a time.” Auburn improves to 11-1 in league play with Saturday’s win, one game ahead of Alabama and two games ahead of Texas A&M and Florida with six games remaining.
