AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Jackson Arnold threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns, Jeremiah Cobb ran for 121 yards and two scores and Auburn overwhelmed Ball State 42-3 on Saturday night.
The Tigers (2-0) finished with 271 yards passing and 224 yards rushing.
Nine different players caught passes during Auburn's home opener, including Cam Coleman's team-leading seven receptions for 77 yards. Eric Singleton Jr. had two touchdowns, and transfer Horatio Fields added 51 yards and a touchdown.
The Cardinals (0-2) managed 68 yards of total offense and were held without a touchdown for the second consecutive week.
Auburn could find itself ranked in the next AP Top 25 College Football Poll after its decisive victory. The Tigers received the second-most votes (94) among those that missed out on the Top 25 last week.
Auburn: The focus this week was on the passing game. The Tigers attempted 33 passes compared to only 17 in last week’s win over Baylor.
Ball State: The Cardinals have struggled to say the least through two weeks, following a zero-point performance against Purdue with three points against Auburn. Quarterback Kiael Kelly accounted for just 71 yards through the air.
Auburn: The Tigers return to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday to take on South Alabama.
Ball State: The Cardinals will head home to face New Hampshire on Saturday.
