Crowd back in it

A 36-yard run by tailback Ben Tate has set up the Tigers at the USF 38. He broke numerous tackles on the play and has given new life to those in attendance at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

A potential interception was dropped by cornerback Ryan Gilliam, setting up a third- and-10 situation but Brandon Cox overthrew Robert Dunn and the Tigers failed to capitalize on the play.

Auburn quickly recovered, as Patrick Tatum sent the ball 36 yards and the Tigers were able to pin USF at its own one yard line.

With USF trapped near the end zone, the crowd has been at its loudest since the opening kickoff.

Three consecutive runs by Jamar Taylor only netted five total yards, and the momentum has definitely shifted back into the favor of Auburn.

Delbert Alvarado's punt was returned to USF's 43.
