The game kicks off at 11 on ESPN. Auburn comes in at 2-1 and USC is 1-2. I do not know the line for sure but AU maybe favored by 3. This game could go either way from their field. I would favor Auburn at home but on the road who knows.
FIRST QUARTER
USC goes three and out.
The Tigers drive to the USC 21 mainly thru the air. The 35 yd. FG attempt is good.
Auburn 3 South Carolina 0
The Gamecocks have a long TD run nullified by an obvious holding call.
From the 25 the Tigers push them back to the 10 on another 3 and out.
The Tigers set up at their own 44.
First down to the 11.
On second Seth Williams can't hold on to the ball as he hits the ground in the end zone.
On third down Nix to Stove for the touchdown.
Auburn is having tremendous success with slant passes.
Surprisingly Auburn goes for two on the wildcat but Pegues pass into the end zone is incomplete.
Auburn 9 South Carolina 0
USC pushes out to their 46 but the punt rolls to the Auburn 2.
First down completion to the 25.
Third and 6 from the AU 29 as the quarter ends.
SECOND QUARTER
Third and 11 after a false start.
USC throws an interception at the Auburn 29.
Bad throw by Nix. His passing accuracy leaves something to be desired.
First down Gamecocks to the Auburn 16.
First down the Auburn 3/4.
Touchdown South Carolina. The turnover changes the momentum quickly.
Auburn 9 South Carolina 7
Wow! Long 44 yd. completion to Seth Williams. To the USC 15. The ball hung up there and Seth went up and got it.
On second down Bigsby runs near the goal line but fumbles into the end zone. The ruling on the field is no fumble. The play is reviewed and the call on the field is upheld. Tank Bigsby is the rugged RB we need.
Bigsby walks into the end zone from the one. That's the answer we needed from the offense.
Auburn 16 South Carolina 7
After one first down USC is punting.
We let the punt hit the ground and it rolls to the 5.
First downs out to the 34.
On third and six the ball bounces off of one of our receivers and USC intercepts at midfield. Tough break. Nix tried to force the ball into a covered receiver.
The Gamecocks drive. This game is not much fun to watch because I think we have the better team but we could easily lose the game. The tough-luck interception that stated this drive show this.
The score comes on a rush from the one with 35 seconds left. Both Carolina scores come after turnovers.
Auburn 16 South Carolina 14
The Tigers reach midfield but the clock dies.
It's anybody's game at the half.
THIRD QUARTER
Initial possession Auburn drives for a FG.
Auburn 19 South Carolina 14
USC drives to the Auburn 25.
USC moves inside the Auburn 10.
The score comes on a pass to the end zone from the 10. Point after on a 2-pt. try no good.
Auburn 19 South Carolina 20
This game so far fills me with dread because we should win this game but we probably won't.
The Tigers go three and out. This game is slipping away. Our offense has gone cold. A dropped pass here and an errant throw next.
The Gamecocks drive to the AU 21 where Auburn gets a big interception as the ball bounces into the air and our player picks it up before it hits the ground. The clock is under 2 minutes in the quarter.
First down across the 30 but we move to third and 7.
THEN Nix throws another interception that's run back inside the Auburn 10. If we lose this game you can pin it on Bo Nix. First play TD USC. This game is going south in a hurry. This is probably Nix's worst game ever.
Auburn 19 South Carolina 27.
54 seconds left in the quarter.
We can't get anybody open and Nix is having to force his throws. Our offense has completely vanished.
The quarter ends with Auburn facing third and 16 after a holding call.
FOURTH QUARTER
We get a long completion to Seth Williams but there is another holding call this time on Capers.
Auburn is punting on 4th and 4. USC will scrimmage from their 21.
Our defense is wearing down.
The Gamecocks kick a 30-yd. FG. We are in serious trouble.
Auburn 19 South Carolina 30
9:13 left
We need big plays.
Bigsby runs to the Gamecock 45 on the first play from the 25.
The Tigers are moving the ball inside the 10 quickly.
Third and goal from the 4.
Fourth and goal from the 4.
We settle for the FG. Not a satisfactory end to a great drive.
Auburn 22 South Carolina 30
USC runs some clock but our defense holds and we regain possession at our 25.
We are at the Gamecock 35 with 1:37 left first down.
First down at the USC 17.
Nix commits grounding senselessly. Why does he do this time after time? It's dumb.
We are back to the 23 with 23 seconds left.
28 seconds on the clock.
Nix runs OOB leading to 4th down at the 13 with 9 seconds left. Nix's scramble ran too much time off the clock. 4th and 5.
The game ends. Bad loss. We should be better than South Carolina.
FINAL SCORE
30-22 Carolina
