Jackson Kilgore Dazzles in Auburn Victory
Jackson Kilgore was instrumental in extending Auburn's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Kilgore as he threw for 193 yards and six touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Auburn's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Kilgore and Auburn will take on Carver Montgomery at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Aj Alexander Turns in Season-Best Effort
Aj Alexander produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Dothan to the win on Friday. Alexander's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 136 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Alexander might have his next game, a home matchup with Smiths Station, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Alexander saw the Panthers), he rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

Auburn Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Omar Mabson
Auburn picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Omar Mabson. Mabson did his part (and then some), rushing for 127 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'.
Mabson must have Smiths Station's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Mabson saw the Panthers), he rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries.
