Auburn runs away with game against Western Carolina, 62-3

Monday, October 14, 2013

The Auburn Tigers found themselves running away with the game against the Western Carolina Catamounts on Saturday.

The Tigers made no delays in scoring. Their first possession saw a 74-yard drive in 6 plays. Tre Mason picked up the score with a 20-yard rush over the guard. Forcing the Catamounts to punt after 3 plays, the following drive got Auburn into the endzone in 5-plays. The score on the second drive was awarded to Jay Prosch on an 8-yard pass reception into the endzone.

Western Carolina found their score through a hard-fought field goal. The 10-play drive covered 43 yards for the Catamounts and got them to the Auburn 32 yard line. Richard Sigmon kicked the 49-yard field goal and brought the score to 14-3.

The Tigers' momentum was not shaken with the score. Three plays after the kickoff, QB Jeremy Johnson landed a long pass into the arms of Ricardo Louis for a 46-yard gain and the touchdown. Cody Parkey's extra point was good.

In the second quarter, the Tigers repeated their offensive efforts without allowing a Catamount score. The first touchdown came about a minute into the quarter with Corey Grant rushing for a whopping 51 yards into the endzone to cap off another 6-play drive. Tre Mason, not wanting to be outdone by Grant, gained the second score of the second quarter with a 53-yard rush. The 1-play drive technically covered 48-yards due to an illegal motion penalty on the previous play.

The final score of the half belonged to Tiger Tony Stevens after a 9-play drive over 71 yards. Stevens grabbed a middle pass from Johnson and carried it 22-yards into the endzone. Parkey's extra point was good. The teams went to the locker room with a score of 42-3.

The domination continued after halftime. Auburn kept the Catamount offense to -1 yard on their opening possession and turned around for a score in 8 plays after getting the ball. Quan Bray got the score after carrying a Johnson pass for 3 yards, capping off the 65-yard drive.

Auburn's next possession yielded another touchdown. The big play of the drive was a 59-yard rush by Cameron Artis-Payne, but Artis-Payne also made the score with a 25-yard rush. The 4-play drive covered 86 yards in total.

In the 4th quarter, the Tigers scored one last time 10 seconds into the quarter.The 8-play drive covered 71 yards. Johnathan Ford made the touchdown with a 38-yard rush and the two point conversion attempt by Ryan White was unsuccessful. The final score of the game was set at 62-3.

Next week, the Tigers face a big challenge in College Station to take on Texas A&M. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.
