- On Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, Auburn freshman quarterback Deuce Knight tied an Auburn single-game record with six touchdowns as Auburn defeated Mercer 62-17 in Auburn, Ala.
- With starter Ashton Daniels held out to preserve eligibility, Deuce Knight made his first start amid an ongoing coaching search and DJ Durkin's first home game as interim head coach.
- Knight ran nine times for four rushing scores and completed 15 of 20 passes for two touchdowns, while Malcolm Simmons caught five passes including a 91-yard touchdown, helping Auburn lead 35 at halftime.
- Auburn Tigers can become bowl eligible by beating Alabama next week, with Ashton Daniels expected to return, while Mercer Bears had their nine-game winning streak snapped and Elijah Melendez scored a pick-six.
- With Daniels retaining a redshirt season, Knight's one-half output positions the Auburn Tigers well at quarterback for next season.
