Description	"Still smarting under the humiliation of their own mistakes in the opener, Auburn loosed its fury on Furman and finished with a 41-0 win before an estimated 15,000 in Cliff Hare Stadium. All told, Coach Shug Jordan's forces rolled up 587 yards, 524 of them on the ground, against the South Carolinians. The leading ground gainers were Tommy Lorino with 128 yards, Howell Tubbs with 93, and Jim Walsh with 89. It was a day of long runs with Lorino galloping 34 and Jimmy Cook running 21 for first-half TD's. Billy Kitchens carried the third Tiger six-pointer over from the one-yard line early in the second half after Lorino had set up the score with a 55-yard gallop. Kitchens tallied again in the same period, this time from the four, after Walsh's fine running had put the Tigers in scoring position. The Auburn point parade was completed in the final period as Tubbs and Louis Preis reached paydirt on runs of 55 and 39 yards. Tubbs kicked four extra points, and Jerry Wilson booted the other." (Description from the 1957 Glomerata)
