Auburn outlasts Northwestern in Outback (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Wes Byrum kicked a 21-yard field goal in overtime and Auburn stopped Northwestern's final trick play of the game to hold on Friday for a 38-35 victory in the Outback Bowl. The Tigers intercepted Mike Kafka five times -- twice in the end zone -- and shut down a fake field-goal play to end Northwestern's gallant bid to end a 61-year stretch of postseason futility.
