Mason burst through a hole up the middle for a 9-yard touchdown to give Auburn a 7-0 lead, two plays after Kris Frost recovered AJ Derby's fumble at the Tigers' 29. Mason's 4-yard run capped a 43-yard drive - six plays after Auburn recovered an onside kick - with 10:53 left in the second quarter.

The Tigers took the second-half kickoff and went 65 yards as Mason capped the drive with a 5-yard run.
