Auburn upsets No. 24 Ole Miss behind Nick Marshall

AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn's Nick Marshall can't be judged only by his passing yards. The Tigers are using Marshall's legs to regain respect in the Southeastern Conference. Marshall ran for 140 yards and two touchdowns, Robenson Therezie scored on a 78-yard interception return and Auburn held off No. 24 Mississippi 30-22 on Saturday night for its first win over a Top 25 team in two years. "I thought he helped us win the game with his feet," said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, who said Marshall "showed a lot of toughness." Marshall had 14 carries, eight that produced first downs. Auburn (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) already has topped its win total from last season, when it finished 3-9 and was 0-8 in the SEC. "It gives us momentum heading into the next game and the rest of the season," said running back Tre Mason , who ran for 77 yards and a touchdown.
