Auburn Ends 671‑Day SEC Home Skid With 21‑15 Win Over Vanderbilt

A strong defensive showing capped by a blocked‑punt touchdown gives Auburn momentum as it heads to Tennessee next week.

Overview

Auburn beat Vanderbilt 21-15 Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium after a special-teams score and steady defense held the Commodores to 311 yards.
Quarterback Byrum Brown threw and ran for touchdowns while finishing 18-of-27 for 140 yards and one interception.
Omar Mabson II blocked a second-quarter punt that Cade Carlson returned 10 yards for a touchdown, a swing play that created crucial separation.
The defense rebounded from a 44-point outing the prior week by limiting Vanderbilt to one touchdown, but the Tigers lost the time-of-possession battle and failed to stop opponents on fourth down late.
The win is coach Alex Golesh’s first SEC victory and Auburn’s first SEC home win in 671 days, and it sends the Tigers on the road to No. 14 Tennessee next Saturday.
