| Summary: | "Auburn opened its 1953 season with a 47-0 trouncing of Stetson in Montgomery. Auburn fans got their first look at "One Platoon Football" and saw the Plainsmen show a strong running attack and a stubborn defense. The Plainsmen scored in every period of the onslaught with seven men figuring in the scoring. Fob James scored twice on runs of 13 and 3 yards and Jim Pyburn scored twice on passes from Bobby Freeman. Other scorers were Charles Hataway, Bobby Freeman and Charlie Littles, who scored one touchdown each, Vince Nardone, who was credited with a safety, and Joe Davis, who kicked three extra points. Stetson's deepest penetration into the Plainsmen territory was in the third quarter when the Hatters managed to reach the Auburn 39 yard stripe. In all, they were able to cross the midfield stripe only three times." (Description from the 1954 Glomerata)
