Auburn is 4-5 heading into Saturday's matchup against Vanderbilt, fresh off a disappointing 10-3 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats last Saturday. The Tigers program is operating under interim head coach DJ Durkin following the dismissal of now-former head coach Hugh Freeze earlier this year.

The Auburn Tigers dropped a heartbreaker in Nashville on Saturday evening, as they fell to 4-6 on the season after a 45-38 loss to Vanderbilt in overtime.

Their spirits were here in Nashville’s West End for Vanderbilt 45, Auburn 38, a game that poured new life into a forgotten celebration of Southern college football. Auburn vs. Vanderbilt a rivalry? Believe it, and it’s time to resurrect that old nickname, too.

Auburn interim head coach D.J. Durkin suggested rival college football coaches are trying to call his players to transfer.

Auburn hosts the UNC Greensboro Spartans after Mya Petticord scored 21 points in Auburn's 82-41 win over the Alabama State Lady Hornets.

In the second half, Vanderbilt played with a lot more tempo, which seemed to throw Auburn off defensively. There was no better example of that than its second touchdown of the second half, where a receiver ended up wide open with a clear path to the endzone after Auburn struggled to get lined up and busted a coverage.
