"Coach Shug Jordan canned his famous X and Y team, and came up with a combination that served notice of things to come as Auburn got back into the IA in column with a 33-0 victory over the Florida State University Seminoles. Although the Tiger attack seemed sloppy at times, they moved at will, and after the first series of plays F.S.U. never appeared dangerous. From there the Plainsmen went straight home, with Free-man sneaking over half-way in the first period after recovering a fumble. In the second quarter, Fob James picked up TD number two, and as the half came to a close, Jim Pyburn gathered in a short Freeman pass and rambled 65 yards to put Auburn in front with a comfortable 20-0 lead. The second half was all Auburn. The final period found James eluding the Seminoles for a 37 yard scoring gallop. Tubbs added the extra point with a toss to Hall. Hoppy Middleton ended the scoring with a charging thrust through the Florida line. The Tiger line played a standout game from end to end. Long, Scarbrough, Maxime, D'Agostino, and Pyburn left the State I formation in shambles. It was Captain Jimmy Long, with a beautiful block that cleared the path for that TD jaunt of Pyburn's. The F.S.U. team will not soon forget the field day had at their expense by left end Jim Pyburn. He caught two passes for 93 yards, and one touchdown, carried the end-around for 9 yards, blocked a punt, and tackled like a pile driver." (Description from the 1955 Glomerata) |
