Jordan's Review: Auburn's defense carries the load in win over Vanderbilt

Following a difficult defensive showing the previous week against Florida, the Auburn Tigers rebounded with a 21-15 home victory over Vanderbilt. The unit tightened up considerably compared to their prior outing, limiting their opponents to 311 total yards and keeping them out of the red zone while Xavier Atkins paced the defense with eight tackles, three tackles for loss, and a sack.

Offensively, Byrum Brown contributed a touchdown through the air and another on the ground, though head coach Alex Golesh's squad still managed only 139 total rushing yards as they secured a much-needed conference win.
