PASSING: (AU)- Gargis 3-9-1-44. (UM) - Patterson 10-18-0-187 overload your pass defense to stop the run, or your pass defense will slip, and you can’t overload (2 TD) to stop the pass or your rushing defense will fall,” Nix said. RECEIVING: (AU)- Andrews 2-24, McCall 1-20. (UM)- Rivas 3-79 The War Eagle pass defenses did fall Saturday night and three long receptions by Rivas and (TD), K. Wright 3-55 (TD), Gray 2-32, Austin 1-16, Middleton 1-5. Wright proved it. Each had a catch in excess of 35-yards for a touchdown and Rivas caught a pass on 3rd and 24 late in the game to set up the final Memphis State touchdown. The final Rivas pass was caught between two Auburn defenders and Nix said “we played it poorly.” According to Nix, the big turning points of the game could have been the roughing the kicker penalty late in the second quarter on the Auburn 47 and the pass interference call against Hill with less than a minute left in the first half. “The two fumbles we lost kept us from winning but didn’t lose it for us,” Nix said. “We didn’t play very well defensively, yet we still had many op- portunities.” “Memphis State was a very balanced team and Georgia Tech is not as balanced. But no matter what a team has done in the past, you can always look forward to seeing a test of your weaknesses the next week,” Nix said, referring to the poor pass defense showing exhibited last week in Memphis. “Pass defense is a team effort. If one segment breaks down, the whole defense does,” Nix added in closing.

Auburn 31 Wisconsin [OT] 34 January 1, 2015 Raymond James Stadium Tampa, Florida

Auburn played it to the end, and then some, but it wasn’t enough to beat Wisconsin and Melvin Gordon in the Outback Bowl on Thursday. The Badgers won 34-31 in over- time when they made a field goal on their first possession, and Auburn missed a 45- yard try when it got the ball. Gordon rushed for 251 yards and three touchdowns, though Auburn had the lead with eight seconds left in regulation. Wisconsin tied the game a second later on a field goal, and won it in the first overtime period. The end of the game was like the rest of the game, a see-saw affair that fea- tured big runs and good plays. Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall picked one good play, and then another, in two drives near the end that gave the Tigers two leads. That’s when Auburn found the proper balance between the run and the pass. The Tigers answered two Wisconsin leads with decisive drives. Cameron Ar- tis-Payne scored on a 2-yard run with 2:55 remaining. Before that, the Tigers had taken the lead a drive that saw Artis-Payne rip off a 21-yard run, Corey Grant run for 21, too, and Marshall throw a 21-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Uzomah. Marshall came through after that, too. He led the Tigers to the Wisconsin 7, and, on fourth down, his pass to Sam- mie Coates may have been a TD had it not been for pass interference. It didn’t matter. Artis-Payne scored on the Auburn 7 7 3 14 0 — 31 next play. Wisconsin 7 0 14 10 3 — 34 Auburn finished the season with a 8-5 record.
