Quindarius Carr News

Wes Byrum launches 49-yard field goal, his longest of the season AUBURN -- Poor Wes Byrum.

It's time to take a look -- in both words and video -- at the guy who leads the SEC in touchdown catches.

With only two weeks left in the season, Auburn has yet to resolve persistent problems on its punt return team, and head coach Gene Chizik is growing frustrated.

Mario Fannin: On the run Auburn coach Gene Chizik says Mario Fannin may be asked to do more things against Ole Miss on Saturday, and that means he may run the ball more.

Chris Todd considered himself lucky. LSU fans somehow didn't get the Auburn quarterback's cell phone number last season, so they were unable to barrage him with endless messages like they did to Florida's Tim Tebow two years ago.

Kentucky's Calvin Harrison intercepted a Chris Todd pass intended for Quindarius Carr.

Travante Stallworth: Freshman with two catches Auburn coach Gene Chizik says his freshman wide receivers may be close to contributing more.

Randall Cobb scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 4-yard run with 3:17 to play as Kentucky came from behind to defeat Auburn 21-14 Saturday night.

Taiedo Smith comes up the interception, leaving Quindarius Carr and Auburn a bit short Randall Cobb scored the game-winner to lead Auburn past Kentucky 21-14 on Saturday night.

Auburn's homecoming game Nov. 7 against Furman will kick off at 12:30 p.m. and be televised on a pay-per-view basis, the university confirmed today.

Auburn receivers coach Trooper Taylor stresses that his reserve receivers must be ready to seize limited game opportunities if they hope to earn more playing time.

Gene Chizik: Talking football Wednesday Auburn coach Gene Chizik put his depth issues aside and ordered up another physical practice Wednesday.

Chris Todd completed a 32-yard pass to Quindarius Carr and Ben Tate had runs of 21 and 5 yards, but Auburn missed a golden scoring opportunity to start the second half.

Ben Tate rushed for a career-high 184 yards and two touchdowns for No. 17 Auburn, but Arkansas defeated the Tigers 44-23 to hand Auburn its first loss of the season before 72,599 in Reynolds Razorback Stadium Saturday.

Anthony Gulley still in the mix to return punts Auburn special teams coach Jay Boulware wouldn't tell the media Wednesday night who will return punts against Tennessee on Saturday.

Gene Chizik opened his weekly Sunday teleconference by fielding questions about his head-to-head matchup against Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin.

AUBURN -- Returning punts without incident has been a monumental obstacle for the Tigers this season.

Defensive end Antoine Carter is gradually regaining confidence in his surgically repaired right knee and hopes to increase his role Saturday at Tennessee.

Auburn's special-teams problems aren't entirely solved. Freshman Anthony Gulley, who drew praise from the coaches earlier this week for his progress as a punt returner, had his share of troubles Saturday night, one of the few things that went wrong in the Tigers' victory against Ball State.

Quindarius Carr, a sophomore from Huntsville High, replaced Anthony Gulley as Auburn's punt returner in the second quarter.
