KNOXVILLE, Tenn. --
Wes Byrum connected on a career-high four field goals while the Auburn offense racked up more than 400 yards of offense for the fifth time this season as the Tigers (5-0, 2-0 SEC) pulled out the 26-22 win over Tennessee (2-3, 0-2 SEC) at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn.
The game was Auburn's first road game of the season and extended its winning streak to five games over the Volunteers, surpassing the previous record of four-straight victories from 1961-64. The Tigers also pulled out the win in front of a crowd 102,941, the third-largest crowd Auburn has ever competed in front of.
"I'm just really proud of our team for finding ways to win every week," said Auburn head coach
Gene Chizik. "They just keep fighting. It was really good to see a very young football team come on the road and win."
Auburn scored twice in the first quarter with Byrum connecting on a pair of field goals. His first was a 29-yarder at the 5:01 mark in the quarter while the second was a 43-yarde at the 3:36 mark.
