The waiting game…

It’s going to be a suspenseful halftime, as fans and media alike wait for Auburn’s first snap of the second half. Will Brandon Cox have recovered from his shoulder injury? If not, who will replace him under center?

The rest of the game is also in doubt, of course, as Ole Miss moved the ball quite effectively against Auburn’s defense in its final drive of the half, thanks in part to some questionable officiating calls. Auburn has played very well in this game, but a 7-3 lead is hardly a comfortable halftime margin, even at home against the worst team in the SEC.
