Gameday: From The Hill to The Plains - Bulldogs visit Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. -- 9. 17. 18. 19. 26. 49. 56. 73. 87. 92.

You've seen the numbers this season.

Tevin McKenzie. Rashad Anderson. De'Angelo Ballard. O'Darius Williams. Austin Jones. Virgin Johnson III. Embrel Vaughn. Derrick Issac. Jonathan Dorsey. Demerrius Williams.

You've heard the names this season.

And, today will be the last time these 10 young men will wear the maroon and white on the football field.

They were honored during Senior Day festivities two weeks ago when they made their Louis Crews Stadium finale. Today, they'll bow out at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium.

It's also Senior Night for the host Tigers, who come into the game ranked No. 18 in the nation.

This is the second meeting between the two football programs (Auburn won 51-7 in 2012) and A&M is the only Southwestern Athletic Conference team Auburn has ever faced. It is the first time A&M has faced a top 15 FBS/NCAA Division I football team (Auburn is ranked No. 15).

The Bulldogs come into the game winning three of their last four games. Auburn was riding a six-game winning streak until last week's loss at Georgia.

The two teams are also the best in their conferences in penalty yards. The Bulldogs have been penalized a SWAC low of 48.1 yards per game. At 34.3 yards per game, Auburn has the fewest penalty yards in the SEC and sixth among FBS schools.

Kickoff is 6:39 p.m. and the game can be heard on WJAB-FM 90.9 and wjab.org. It can be seen on the SEC Alternate Channel and Watch ESPN at www.espn.com/watchespn/index/_/id/2918831/alabama-am-vs-9-auburn.
