Despite the Jaguars success, they were outmatched by an historic night from Oxford running back Roc Thomas. The future Auburn running back rushed for a whopping 414 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets.
Amazingly, Thomas rushed for 300 yards and four touchdowns in the second half.
The two teams combined for 45 first downs and over 900 yards of offense.
