Auburn, Ala. (AP) - In a wild, rain-delayed game in which Auburn and West Virginia combined for more than 900 yards, a defensive player made the biggest play.
Craig Stevens intercepted a screen pass by West Virginia and returned it 16 yards for a touchdown with 3:41 left in the fourth quarter, and Auburn defeated the Mountaineers 41-30 Saturday night.
"We had a feeling they were going to run the screen sometime during that series, so I ended up going on a blitz that play," Stevens said. "He lobbed it just enough for me to tip it and I got it in my hands. Once I got in my hands I had to get in the end zone."
Chris Todd threw four touchdown passes as Auburn (3-0) came back from an early 14-0 deficit to take the lead for good with 12:07 to play on Todd's 17-yard pass to
Darvin Adams. It was Todd's third touchdown pass to Adams, and it was set up by defensive tackle Jake Ricks' interception at the West Virginia 19.
