When was the last Auburn was on CBS in the afternoon? Here we are today from Kyle Field. Can Auburn hang in there with the Aggies? The home team is a 13/14 point favorite. We'll soon have some answers.
FIRST QUARTER
That didn't take long. The Aggies receive and march 67 yards for the touchdown in 6 plays and a minute forty-one.
AUBURN 0 TAMU 7 From the 15 the Tigers run to a first down at the 24.
Another first down to the 34.
There's a long run by Grant to TAMU 32.
Mason runs for 15 and a first down to the 18.
Mar
shall runs for the touchdown from the 16.
Our offense matches the opening Aggie touchdown. This is what we need.
AUBURN 7 TAMU 7
From their 25 we push them back to the 12 but there is a long pass completion but then Ryan Smith picks up the interception on a deflection close to the ground! Great pick by Smith!
AU has the ball on their Tiger 38.
Louis goes to the Aggie 30 on a reverse.

2nd and 7 from the 15.
Pass interferene and AU is first down at the 6.
Fumbled snap and a yard gain.
Grant loses back to the 8.
Marshall scrambles and we have to settle for the FG attempt.
Not good. We gotta score TDs in the Red Zone. First and goal at the 6 and we have to settle for the 3.
Points and we take the lead but this can cost us the game before it's over.
AUBURN 10 TAMU 7
TAMU starts at the 25.
First down at the 35 and on the next play the short pass and the receiver goes right down the sideline for the score. We had two defenders out there but the receiver gets down the sideline easily.
AUBURN 10 TAMU 14
The Aggies can score so quickly. It's amazing.
AU returns to the 20.
First down at the 44.
But Marshall drops the ball on the next play and the Aggies recover at the AU 49.
Big mistake by Nick kMarshall.
The ball flies out of his hands. Not a big hit at all.
Sooner or late our defense has to stop these guys.
First down at the AU 37.
The Aggies march again and we cannot stop them.
Manziel scrambles and scrambles and throws long and Ryan White intercepts at the 4 yard line!
That's the second pick off Johnny Football.
Mason gains 3 or 4. The clock is stopped at 1:45 with an injured Aggie.
On 3rd and 2 Marshall hits Prosch for 58 yards to the Aggie 32.
TO Auburn with 30 seconds in the first with Auburn facing a 2nd and 10 at the Aggie 32.
Marshall runs to the 13 as the first quarter ends.
We will start the second quarter with the Tigers first and ten at the Aggie 13.
SECOND QUARTER
Grant to the 9 with JJ at QB.
Marshall to the 7.
Mason just short of the first down at the 3.
Going for it on 4th Mason is hit at the 5 but keeps churning to the one!
Mason just short of the goal line for no gain.
Mason goes in untouched but there is a false start. We can't have that.
Now we're back at the 6.
Marshall is dropped at the 12 as he holds on to the ball too long. Dang!
We have a penalty that knocks a TD off the board.
Then on 3rd Marshall hit Quan Bray in the end zone for the touchdown. What a big play!!! Twelve plays/96 yards/over 6 minutes. Maybe our best drive of the year.
AUBURN 17 TAMU 14
TAMU starts at the 25.
They've only run 18 plays. Our offense has run 31 yards. We have a big advantage in time of possession.
THREE AND OUT AS OUR DEFENSE HARASSES MANZIEL.
The punt goes into the end zone.
Again, a three and out for our defense!
AU on the 20. Let's keep that offense going.
Now Auburn goes 3 and out quickly. Our defence holds but our offense sputters as it is prone to do.
Marshall just isn't very accurate in his passing. We have open receivers. I don't understand why NM consistently throws behind the receivers.
TAMU starts at their 32. This is not good, giving the ball right back to Manziel when we seem to have the momentum.
Quickly the Aggies are at the AU 40 running the ball.
First down to the AU 22 running the ball. Not good.
Our defense holds to a field goal attempt.
The 37 yard FG is good but at least our defense doesn't give up the TD.
AUBURN 17 TAMU 17
5:38 to go in the half.
The Tigers start at the 25 after the touchback.
The Tigers go three and out for the second straight time as the clock winds down to under 4 minutes.
Not good to give them the ball back.
TAMU is at the 26 and 3:36 left and plenty of time left.
Our offense has bogged down the last 2 times and we cannot continue to do this.
First down to the AU 48.
To the AU 45.
To the AU 40 and a first down around the 2 minute mark.
2nd and 9 and a TAMU TO.
1:55 left.
THERE IS A HUGE SACK ON MANZIEL AND TAMU HAS TO PUNT!
Unfortunately the punt dies at the one.
We gotta punch the ball out because TAMU has two timeouts left.
Marshall throws downfield to an open Coates but underthrows him as usual. Oh my. Should have a 99 yard TD pass.
3rd and 7 with timeouts left for TAMU. They use one of them here.
This was set up by that first down long pass but Marshall makes a poor throw. The result could be the Aggies getting the ball back.
There is a long pass, a fantastic throw, and Coates can't come up with the grab. There was a TD that Coates can't handle. Too, bad. Either Marshall makes a poor throw or our receiver can't catch the ball. that was a great throw by Marshall.
TAMU is at the AU 42 an on the first play there is the touchdown pass. This is what happens when we don't take advantage of our offensive opportunitites. How disappointing. We are playing them toe-to-toe and our offense goes 3 and out. Our offense has been inconsistent all year long. This is nothing new.
This is as heart-breaking end of the first half. We can't keep this up and give Manziel field positon under these circumstances.
AUBURN 17 TAMU 24
We had the lead but our offense sputters as Coates can't catch a pass that would have been a 96 yard touchdown pass.
AU is at the 30 with 20 seconds left.
Marshall carries and the half will end.
Auburn will get the ball to start the second half as this half ends with 3 straight AU three and outs.
Will our offense show up in the second half?
THIRD QUARTER
Grant does a good return but a block in the back means we start at the 8.
First down to the 19.
First down to the 35.
First down to the AU 47.
The drive stalls at midfield.
We have to punt from the 50. A long pass to Coates down the field could have been a better throw.
Fair catch at the TAMU 13.
No score on our first possession.
I hope this game doesn't get away from us. Our defense is going to have to come to the rescue if we are to win this game. If we get behind by 2 touchdowns the game is probably over.
TAMU starts on their 13.
We were moving the ball on the ground but then there were 2 incomplete passes.
3rd and 7.
TAMU goes three and out on their first possession.
AU will start at their 35 The two teams trade punts on their initial possessions of the half.
The Tigers cross midfield.
First down to the Aggie 37.

Good coverage and TAMU is at their 18.
Manziel picks up the first down on a 3rd and 7 with a QB draw.
Manziel is quick but he will also lower his head in a crowd.
Gabe Wright is injured as the Aggies face a 2 and 8.
The Aggies are moving the ball but no big plays so far in this drive.
Manziel scrambles and they are inside AU territory.
They are driving but sort of taking their time.
But there is the big play a 37 yard TD pass to their big receiver Evans. We keep Manziel in the pocket but he has too much time and finds a receiver well covered but a great play by Manziel.
AUBURN 24 TAMU 31
9 plays 82 yards by the home team.
Bray comes out of the end zone to the AU 40 straight up the field.
JJ throws behind a receiver.
NM overthrows a recever.
We are quickly 3rd and 10.
Another incomplete and we are quickly three and out after good field positon on the KO return.
Those passes were off-kilter.
Fair catch at the TAMU 22. Not a good punt with the wind at our backs.
Our defense has to rise up.
It's time for a TO.
But there's a long pass to the Auburn 47 on a screen pass.
We're in trouble if they score here.
Manziel QB draw to the Auburn 20 with less than 2 minutes to go in the quarter.
4th and foot and they fake the field goal and make the first down to the 8. How can we allow that?
The quarter ends with TAMU at 2nd and goal from the 5. It is not looking good. We are wearing down.
FOURTH QUARTER
As Pat Dye says, there are no miracles on the football field. We will lose this game because our offense can't keep up. For the most part our defense has played pretty good though they are looking to wear down in the final quarter.
On second and 10 after a penaly Manziel runs to the 2 but drops to the ground in pain.
Incomplete pass and it's 4th and goal at the 2.
The short FG attempt is good and TAMU takes a 10 point lead.
It remains to be seen if Manziel can return to the game.

No room for error. Our offense has to produce now early in the 4th quarter.
No doubts!

There is a long beautiful pass to Coates.
A great run up the middle by CAP.
Marshall runs it in from the 13.
We have ourselves a ballgame!
AUBURN 31 TAMU 34
I lose some words here and pick up with Auburn clinging to a lead late.

With 43 seconds to go TAMU is at our 18.
Manziel is sacked at the 26. Timeout TAMU with 28 seconds to go.
Manziel is tackled by Kris Frost at the 21. Fourth down. Here is the game.
Last timeout by the Aggies.
On fourth and last gasp Auburn stuffs Manziel for a huge loss.
What a huge win in the history of Auburn football.
Un-be-liev-able!
FINAL SCORE
AUBURN 45 TAMU 41
I can't get enough of it. What a win. What a football team!
The offense drove for 2 straight TDs in the fourth quarter and our defense made the big stop at the end sacking Manziel for a huge loss. What a game! What a team!
