Auburn football faces a difficult road test against Ole Miss, but Alex Golesh's Tigers have two clear keys to pulling off another SEC upset. Can Byrum Brown exploit the Rebels' struggling run defense, and can DJ Durkin find a way to disrupt quarterback Trinidad Chambliss? On Auburn HIT, we break down the biggest matchups, the path to victory and our official Auburn vs. Ole Miss score prediction. KEY #1: RUN THE FOOTBALL Ole Miss has struggled to stop opposing rushing attacks throughout the season, creating an opportunity for Auburn to establish its ground game. Byrum Brown has already demonstrated his ability to produce rushing yards against elite defenses, including Tennessee and Georgia. But Auburn needs more than Brown's legs to win in Oxford. The offensive line must create opportunities against a Rebels defensive front featuring Will Echoles. Young offensive linemen Wilson Zierer and Kenneth McManus face important tests, while center Cole Best must help Auburn establish consistency in its blocking schemes. Can the Tigers take advantage of Ole Miss' biggest defensive weakness? KEY #2: MAKE TRINIDAD CHAMBLISS UNCOMFORTABLE Auburn's defense faces another difficult matchup against one of the SEC's most dangerous quarterbacks. Chambliss gets rid of the football quickly, making traditional sacks difficult to generate. Instead, Auburn must find ways to disrupt his rhythm. That means batting passes at the line of scrimmage, forcing him out of the pocket, disrupting receiver timing and preventing Ole Miss from operating comfortably. DJ Durkin doesn't necessarily need a massive sack total, but he does need consistent disruption. OFFICIAL AUBURN VS. OLE MISS PREDICTION Despite Auburn's potential advantages in the running game, the prediction is Ole Miss 28, Auburn 14. The Tigers could keep the game competitive early before the Rebels create separation in the second half. But Auburn has already demonstrated its ability to surprise opponents, including its upset victory over Georgia. Could the Tigers do it again?
