45 - 41 Auburn Wins
Auburn was a two touchdown underdog going into the game with Texas A&M. The atmosphere was electric, the SEC's top rushing offense (Auburn) going against the SEC's top passing offense and top quarterback. Many thought the win would come down to who had the football last, but that would prove not to be the case. Johnny Manzel(football) got the ball back with 1:19 left on the clock, almost the same amount of time that he had to seal the come from behind win against Ole Miss the week before. He took the Aggie offense down the field to the 18 yard line with about 40 sec left on the clock, but two sacks by Auburn, the final one by Dee Ford for a 22 yard loss sealed the game with Auburn taking possession on downs, while the clock ran down. Auburn only led in the game twice, but like many Auburn teams in the past, this team never quit and gave up, they kept fight to regain the lead iwth a minute, nineteen seconds left. they have overcome all odds and had no respect going into the first game of the year. Many still do not respect or believe in this team. The Coaches poll still has A&M ranked three spots higher than Auburn after this win. Auburn has two more road games with Arkansas and Tennessee and then back home to face Georgia and Alabama. It is going to be an interesting finish.
