| Summary: | "The Wildcats of Villanova, overpowering favorites, were encountered in Birmingham to provide the most stirring game of the season. With McGowen setting the pace, the Tigers held a 10-7 lead going into the closing minutes of the game, then Villanova worked the pigskin down to the 1-yard stripe with a devastating offense, but their offensive might was shattered by a gallant Auburn line that rose to the heights on four successive downs and hurled the Villanovans back. The Plainsmen gave the Wildcats an intentional safety, kicked out, and shortly afterwards, the game ended, 10-9." (Description from 1940 Glomerata)
