Here we go at Kyle Field where Auburn has never lost. The CBS afternoon game. Auburn ranked #12 TAMU ranked #13. Both teams 6 and 2. Auburn controls its destiny. TAMU is a slight favorite. It's a tossup.
FIRST QUARTER
Auburn receives and drives to midfield but Nix is sacked at our 41 and the Tigers punt to the Aggie 16. The Aggies drive smartly to a first and goal at the Auburn 5. Second and goal from the 5. Third and goal from the 4. Timeout Aggies. Fourth and four after the incompletion. Our defense holds them to a field goal.
Auburn 0 TAMU 3
First down just across the 35. Third and four now. First down run by Shivers. First down across midfield. First own run up the middle by Nix. Our offense is crisp. Fist down inside the Aggie 20. Second and 10. Third and 8. Oh, no. Hamm is on the ground. We don't need to lose our center. Fourth down FG attempt, It's good with 20 seconds left in the first quarter.
Auburn 3 TAMU 3
TAMU runs the KO out of the end zone and the returner is dropped inside the 10. Little gain on first down.
SECOND QUARTER
The Aggies go three and out.
Punt return almost to midfield. Nix overthrows an open receiver. First down across midfield. Then third and long. Fourth and long from midfield. First down TAMU from around their 15.
The Aggies are quickly three and out again. Auburn ball.
Alas, Auburn is three and out around midfield. Fair catch called for but our defender ran into him to give them 15 yards. First down TAMU on their 20.
First down run to the 38. We move to 4th and 4. Neither team can mount a consistent offense.
Auburn is punting from our 28. TAMU starts on their 30. A good punting contest so far.
First down Aggie completion. We aren't getting to their QB enough. Another running first down. And another running first down. Aggies having sudden success on the ground. We move to an Aggie fourth down. Forty-two yd. FG attempt NO GOOD.
After one first down Auburn is punting on 4th and 9 with 1:18 left. TAMU on their 20 after the punt. Nothing doing.
HALFTIME
Total defensive/punting duel so far. Neither offense can mount much consistency.
THIRD QUARTER
To open the Aggies go three and out. Auburn starts on their 30.
Two first downs and Auburn is across midfield. Bigsby for 9 yards. First down at the Aggie 17. We move to third and 9 from the 16. 4th and 9. FG attempt no good. Not good. We completely lose momentum. We were driving, can't pick up the first down on third and nine, and then miss the FG. Not good. What now?
Here is a ke moment in this game. There is a long pass completion. Yikes! Another completion and another firs down Aggies. First and goal completion. From the four two straight procedure penalties on TAMU. 5:46 in the third. TAMU first and goal from the 14. Second and goal from the 14. Holding on TAMU. Third penalty in the red zone this Aggie possession. Third and goal from the 17. Their good QB is injured and has to leave the game for the net play. Fourth and goal now from the 17. FG is good.
Auburn 3 TAMU 6
Under the circumstances that worked out okay. 3:39 in the third.
No one expected this low scoring game. Auburn is three and out not even close to moving the ball. We need a big play from somewhere. Great punt to the Aggie 12.
Backup Aggie QB still in the game. But big run out to the Aggie 35. Come on, guys, can't allow that. Starting QB back in the game. We move to third and 8 from their 37. First down pass across midfield. Is this game slipping away from us? Another gashing run for a first down. Our defense looks like it's tired. The quarter ends with TAMU on the march.
FOUTH QUARTER
TAMU on our 30 first and ten. Second and ten. 14:44 left. Third and ten from the 30. Fourth and ten from the 30. FG is good.
Auburn 3 TAMU 9
Okay, Bo. What can you show us?
First down pass to the 35. Second and 10 from the 35. Now disaster. Bo drops the ball back to pass, TAMU picks it up and runs it in for the touchdown. Bo just dropped the ball under pressure. Bo just blew the game all by himself. Pressure, pressure,pressure. The TV audience sees a sad Bo on the Auburn sideline. 2 pointer is good.
Auburn 3 TAMU 17
So sad.
Three and out 4th and 16. Our offense has disappeared. Punt OOB inside their 30. Sad, sad game.
TAMU gets a big run on first down but the ball is stripped and Auburn recovers at our 5.
Bigsby for a first down to the 16. Nine yd. completion play reviewed and overturned. Bo scrambles for 9. Bigsby for a yard and a first down. First down completion but reviewed and overturned. 9:40 left. 4th and one first down Bigsby. THEN huge sack on Nix. That oughta do it. as the clock goes under 8 minutes. Second and long now third and long. This is agonizing to watch. 4th and 13. They are chasing Nix all over the field. Just short by a yard. Aggie ball. 6:50 left. Our offense lost this game pure and simple. Bo is hanging his head on the Auburn sideline. So painful to watch.
TAMU tacks on a FG with 3:15 left.
Auburn 3 TAMU 20
Disgusting.Our offense did not compete. Last Auburn possession Nix gets picked off. Totally embarrassing.
FINAL SCORE
Auburn 3 TAMU
