    Auburn's defensive PFF Grades vs Ole Miss

    Auburn's defense struggled against the Ole Miss Rebels and some of the PFF grades reflect that.

    In this story:

    The Auburn defense gave up a ton of points against the Ole Miss Rebels offense. The defense battled through injuries, a lack of consistent pass rush, and being out of position in pass coverage and the Tigers still had a chance late in the game on the road against a top-10 team. 

    Auburn played 19 players on defense against the Ole Miss Rebels. Nehemiah Pritchet led the way for Auburn in regard to a defensive grade. We also saw Owen Pappoe register a solid grade for the first time in a few weeks. 

    Here are the defensive PFF grades for the Auburn Tigers against the Ole Miss Rebels.
