Auburn was in an unexpected dogfight with Vanderbilt, but the Tigers responded with a winning effort.

After John Franklin III got the start due to Sean White after suffering an unspecified injury, Gus Malzhan sent in White after Franklin III was mostly unsuccessful in leading the Tigers, who were down 13-10 at the half. White came in and helped lead the Tigers to a win. Auburn has continually improved this season and has made their way all the way up the power rankings to the number two spot. All that stands in their way of reaching the top spot is Alabama, who Auburn will face in the Iron Bowl at the end of the season.

Next game: November 12, at Georgia, 3:30pm ET CBS
