Nick Marshall's 214 yards help No. 9 Auburn scoot by Vols

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Auburn doesn't have to worry about passing to remain in the running for a Southeastern Conference title. Nick Marshall rushed for 214 of Auburn's 444 yards Saturday as the No. 9 Tigers needed just nine pass attempts to roll to a 55-23 victory over Tennessee. Auburn also scored on a kickoff return and a punt return -- the first time the Tigers have ever done both in the same game -- and set an NCAA single-game record by averaging 44.85 yards on seven combined kickoff and punt returns. "I still believe we can throw the football," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "There's no doubt in my mind we can, but when you don't have to, you don't." Auburn had attempted just nine passes last week in a 35-17 victory over Arkansas. Marshall's third and final pass completion Saturday was a 25-yard touchdown pass to C.J.
