Auburn Snaps SEC Home Skid with 21-15 Victory over Vanderbilt
Byrum Brown passed and ran for scores, and Auburn special teams added a blocked-punt touchdown in the Tigers’ first SEC home win since 2024.
On Saturday, the Auburn Tigers secured a 21-15 victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores at Jordan-Hare Stadium, marking their first Southeastern Conference home win in 671 days.
Auburn's special teams delivered the pivotal play when Omar Mabson II blocked a Vanderbilt punt in the second quarter, enabling Cade Carlson to scoop and score from 10 yards out.
Quarterback Byrum Brown completed 18 of 27 passes for 140 yards and added a 2-yard rushing touchdown, widening Auburn's lead to 21-9 in the third quarter.
Defensively, the Tigers limited Vanderbilt to 311 total yards after surrendering 495 yards to Florida last week, holding the Commodores to just 15 points.
With a 3-1 record, Auburn now prepares to face Tennessee in Knoxville on Saturday, October 3, seeking to build on this first conference victory under head coach Alex Golesh.
