OXFORD, Miss. — For the second straight week, Auburn football is on the road against an unbeaten opponent.

The Tigers (3-3, 1-2 SEC) will look to score a win at No. 9 Ole Miss on Saturday (11 a.m., ESPN). While they own a 35-11 all-time advantage over the Rebels and have won six straight in the series, including a 31-20 upset at Jordan-Hare Stadium last October, Ole Miss (6-0, 2-0) is favored by 14.5 points.

Auburn comes in smarting after two consecutive losses: a 21-17 home defeat to LSU and a 42-10 smackdown at Georgia in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. An offense which has managed just 14 points per game against Power 5 competition will have its hands full against the Rebels, who rank 11th nationally in scoring defense.

While Bryan Harsin's team is slumping, Lane Kiffin's team is surging. Ole Miss earned a statement victory over then-No. 7 Kentucky the last time it played at home. Last week, the Rebels raced past Vanderbilt.
