Most of the talk has been about this being Cadillac's first home game as interim HC. The Cadillac is getting a lot of Auburn love. With a 3 & 6 record Auburn is facing its second straight losing season. TAMU also has six losses as Aggie troubles expose Jimbo. Auburn is a slight favorite.
FIRST QUARTER
Our freshman kicker kicks off OOB. :)
TAMU punts to our 10 yd line.
The Tigers starting from their 10 cross midfield mixing runs and passes. The drive stalls at the Aggie 35. The punt is fielded just inside the 10.
The Tigers get the ball back at their 38. A good streak down the right sideline by the Tank puts us inside the 20. Next play to the end zone with JJ.
Auburn 7 TAMU 0
Next kickoff goes out of the end zone.
The quarter ends the Aggies in ball possession.
SECOND QUARTER
Auburn intercepts but it's reviewed and the call on the field is reversed.
After the punt we start inside our 10.
Two runs and we are at our 40.
We move on to the Aggie 46.
11:57 in the second.
The drive ends at the Aggie 40.
TAMU to our 45.
TAMU punt to our 12.
A PF call on the Aggies keeps us from punting from our 10.
Big run by Hunter. If only our passing game were better we would have a good offense. We move to the Aggie 30 with 1:08 left. The drive dies. We have no passing game. That is the problem. The clock expires as Ashford hurls the proverbial Hail Mary in the end zone in vain.
7 - zip Auburn at the half.
THIRD QUARTER
We start a drive, cross midfield, but as usual the drive leads to a long FG attempt which is no good. Our freshman kicker misses his first attempt.
TAMU goes three and out.
A holding call negates a long run by Hunter. Ashford misses a wide open receiver who had nothing but green grass ahead. Ashford in not an accurate passer. He just isn't.
TAMU can't go anywhere. This is a shame. I am shocked at how bad the Aggies are and yet they may win this game.
Another big run by Hunter and we are at the Aggie 25. Then Ashford pitches the ball back to Tank rather than hand it to him. The ball is on the ground and TAMU recovers. Unbelievable how this team continually shoots itself in the foot. This is a long game.
Still the Aggies have no offense and go three and out. We get good field position around our 35. Alas, we go three and out also. They way this game is going we are going to lose. Sooner or later the Aggies will score. This is saad to watch. Our punt rolls dead inside the five.
TAMU is three and out. Their offense is worse than ours so far.
Wow we start from around the Aggie 30, It's time to score. First two running plays go nowhere. A third down pass completion to Hunter leaves uf 2 yards short of the first down. The FG is good. Thank goodness.
Auburn 10 TAMU 0
FOURTH QUARTER
The Aggies punt from their end zone after their QB another ball and has to scramble to recover it. We start from our 34. Then on third down Ashford throws a short pass to an Aggie defender. The visitors get possession on our 40. Oh, my. The Aggies gets a field goal.
Auburn 10 TAMU 3
After a 15 yd run we face 4th and less than one but the measurement shows first down. Ashford pushed at the point of contact to reach the line to make.
Then unbelievably we fumble and luckily retain possession. Whew! We are at midfield third and 10 moving ro 4th and five and we are punting. The punt goes into the end zone but almost went OOB short of the end zone. This is a close game that should not be close. Our defense will have to win it.
Yep. Our defense strips their QB back to pass and a blue shirt recovers. Yes! We are on the Aggie 30. Tank rips to the 15. We move to third and two. Tank is stuffed. Fourth down. Short FG attempt.with a rookie placekicker. It's good with 3:02 left.
Auburn 13 TAMU 3
On TAMU'S second and 10 we get called for targeting. Bridges. Not sure who this player is. Upon review the targeting call is reversed. TAMU is third and 1. Their runner bursts almost to midfield. Another third and one. Another long run and third and one as the runner breaks thrsu the stacked line of scrimmage. New play TD pass into the end zone. Yikes.! 17 yard strike.
Auburn 13 TAMU 10
What now? Onside kick that's what. Auburn recovers. Whew! First play no gain timeout with 1:28 left. Auburn is now in victory formation Time out Auburn with 44 seconds left. Run those 4 seconds then take a knee and it's over.
There is an exciting Auburn sidelines as Ashford hits the turn and the 40 seconds elapse.
FINAL AUBURN 13 TEXAS A & M 10
Cadillac is happy. All Auburn people are happy. It was ugly but so what?
I did not see our coach shaking Jimbo's hands. Ha, ha, ha!
