Auburn beat previously undefeated Vanderbilt 21-15 at Jordan-Hare Stadium, giving new coach Alex Golesh his first SEC victory and ending Auburn’s 671-day drought without an SEC home win. Quarterback Byrum Brown scored touchdowns passing and rushing, and Omar Mabson II blocked a punt that Cade Carlson returned for a touchdown to give Auburn an early lead. Auburn’s defense recorded eight sacks and held Vanderbilt to 15 points and 311 yards, despite the Commodores controlling possession for more than 37 minutes. Freshman quarterback Jared Curtis passed for 199 yards as Vanderbilt fell to 3-1. Auburn visits Tennessee next week, while Vanderbilt travels to Georgia.
