The Auburn Tigers left Jordan-Hare Stadium celebrating after a strong second-half performance sealed their win over Mercer. Head coach D.J. Durkin shared his excitement about how the team responded out of the bye week, praising the players’ preparation and effort on both sides of the ball. The highlight of the night came from freshman quarterback Deuce Williams, who showcased composure, poise, and mobility in his first college start.

Durkin emphasized the defensive adjustments that led to a second-half shutout, crediting the team’s leadership and focus for the turnaround. Wide receiver Malcolm Simmons made crucial plays, including a game-changing touchdown grab, while Elijah McAllister’s pick-six sealed Auburn’s dominance down the stretch.

Durkin also took time to praise kicker Alex McPherson, who continues his comeback story with clutch long field goals, and senior running back Jeremiah Cobb, who fought through minor injury to contribute. As Auburn now turns its focus toward the Iron Bowl against Alabama, the confidence in the locker room is clear—this team is starting to click at the right time.
