Some great football played between these two in the 80s and 90s. Glad to see it played.

Will always remember Florida's QB Kerwin Bell with a leg injury hobbling somehow to the winning 2 pt conversion to knock off unbeaten Auburn in late October 1986.

80s had some gigantic games. Kerwin Bell, Bo Jackson, etc... Auburn had Amen corner when they played Florida Georgia and Alabama back to back

Yep that was a really big game for Florida when I was much younger. Just below the Georgia and FSU games. Auburn has had our number quite a bit in the road games also. Spurrier and Meyer went in there with #1, #2 and # 4 ranked teams and lost to a much lower ranked Auburn team.

Speaking for Kerwin Bell, he had winning teams at JU, and he won a national championship at Valdosta State, but he has oddly not been able to parlay that into a “big time” job. He’s languishing at Western Carolina.

I have very fond memories of the '01 and '06 games, as well.

As difficult as the Barners' schedule has been, they just stopped the Florida and Tennessee rivalry. I'm telling you, newbies, the barners were all that once upon a time.

Between 1927-2002, this game was played yearly, except 1941 and 1943(WW2). This is only the 5th game since 2002. Kinda sad what became of this rivalry.
