Auburn-44, Nevada-16

Auburn, AL-Once the Auburn running game got going, it was a wrap for Nevada. The top-ranked Tigers ran for 467 yards against the Wolf Pack, pulling away in the second quarter for a 44=16 victory and a berth in the NCAA Semifinals. Three different Auburn offensive backs crossed the 100-yard barrier as the Tigers jumped out to a 28-6 halftime lead before coasting to victory.

Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb combined to rush 27 times for 308 yards and 4 TD. A week after beating #2 Oregon, Nevada couldn't match the Tigers high-scoring attack. Vai Taua ran for 193 yards for the Wolf Pack in a losing effort.
