It only took Auburn two plays and 12 seconds to grab the momentum, then No. 24 Mississippi snatched it back with a couple of huge runs.

The Tigers weathered that wild third-quarter swing and rode a resurgent offense to a 33-20 win over the Rebels on Saturday, ending a three-game losing streak and adding to a disappointing season for Ole Miss.

"I went through every emotion, high and low, you can go through in 15 minutes," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said of the 36-point third. "It seemed like 15 days. It was pretty incredible."
