📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Game Won. The Hugh Freeze era is underway and undefeated. Robby Ashford scored three second-quarter touchdowns, Jaylin Simpson capitalized on two turnovers, and Auburn kicked off the season with a 59-14 win over Massachusetts this past weekend in front of 88,043 fans—the largest crowd in Jordan-Hare Stadium history.

💨 The Tigers didn’t waste any time as Damari Alston scored from one yard out on the first series of the game for Auburn’s first touchdown of the season.

✌️ Elijah McCallister's sack led to a UMass punt that Keionte Scott returned for 56 yards to set up Robby Ashford's first touchdown on the opening play of the second quarter.

🔒 On the second play of the second half, Jaylin Simpson returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown—Auburn's longest pick-six since Zakoby McClain's 100-yard return in the 2019 Iron Bowl.

🎯 After another defensive stop, Auburn struck again on its first offensive play of the second half when Payton Thorne hit Jay Fair down the middle for a 29-yard touchdown that put the Tigers ahead 45-7 at the 12:52 mark of the third quarter.

🔥 After some back and forth scoring late in the game, Sean Jackson motored 45 yards for a touchdown to account for the game's final score.

Next up? Auburn plays at California next Saturday at 9:30 p.m. CT on ESPN.
