The Ole Miss football team hasn’t posted back-to-back wins over Auburn since the 1951 and 1952 seasons, when the Rebels outscored the Tigers by a combined score of 59-21.

“We like breaking records and doing things,” Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said during his press conference Monday. “Someone said if we win this game, it’s the first back-to-back win against Auburn in 71 years. So that’s a pretty exciting thing to be able to do.”

That said, Kiffin is more than aware that a win against Auburn on Saturday won’t come easy.

Though many are pointing to the fact that Auburn was beat up pretty badly by LSU, you won’t find Kiffin putting too much thought into Saturday’s 48-18 result.

And while some of Kiffin’s reasoning for turning a blind eye to last Saturday’s result stems from the fact that the LSU offense has moved the ball that well against everyone its played, the larger part of Kiffin understands that the venue in which he and the Rebels are entering on Saturday night present huge challenges on its own.

“Like a lot of years, they’re a very different team at home,” Kiffin said of the Auburn Tigers.

Through six games, first-year head coach Hugh Freeze has Auburn sitting with a 3-3 record, which includes a 2-1 record at Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium.

That one loss at home came at the hands of the No. 1 team in the country after Georgia was pushed to the limit and required a fourth-quarter, go-ahead touchdown to survive Jordan-Hare with a win.

“I don’t know that answer,” Kiffin said when asked what makes Jordan-Hare Stadium such a difficult place to play as an opponent. “I mean the analytics support it, certainly. You can see our record there.”

Auburn owns a 35-12 all-time record against Ole Miss.

Of those 12 wins of the Rebels’, just three of them happened within the walls of Jordan-Hare Stadium: once on Halloween night in 2015, once on Nov. 8, 2003 and once during an overtime thriller on Sept. 25, 1999.

“I just think that place – having played it here and having played it at Alabama – just sometimes has some magical things happen in it,” Kiffin said Monday. “They’re always sold out. Fans seem to be in it from the beginning on. They seem to play better there, especially at night if you look over the years.”

And the good news for Auburn is that Saturday’s game against Ole Miss checks two of those boxes: It’s sold out and it’ll be played under the lights with a 6 p.m. kickoff on the schedule.

As for the fans being into the game from the beginning on? Only time will tell.

But Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is hopeful.

“I’m thankful that we’re at home in Jordan-Hare,” Freeze said during his press conference Monday. “We need it to be at its all-time best, and I know it will be.”
