Auburn held a moment of silence to honor the victims of Friday’s ISIS terrorist attacks in Paris before Saturday’s game with Georgia.

The moment of silence came before the national anthem at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

The Auburn band lined up for the national anthem in a formation that spelled out the letters “USA.”

On Friday, more than 125 people were killed in a series of ISIS-sponsored terrorist attacks in the French capital. The terrorists hit six spots around the city, including a concert venue, restaurants, bars and the country’s national soccer stadium, where France was scheduled to play Germany.

Auburn was one of several college football programs that honored the memories of the Paris victims on Saturday. Army ran onto the field for its game with one of the players carrying a French flag. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones drew a Peace of Paris symbol – a peace sign modified with the Eiffel Tower inside its circle – on one of his shoes.
