What a wild way to end a bizarre day in college football.
Auburn found a way to play a role in a day filled with upsets as they took down No. 14 Texas A&M, 43-41, in four overtimes at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn avoided disaster after allowing Texas A&M to storm back to take a 31-28 lead after being down 21-0 early in the 2nd quarter. Auburn kicker Ian Vachon nailed a 29-yard field goal to tie the game with 0:05 remaining in the 4th quarter to send the game to overtime.
From there, each team traded touchdowns and field goals in the first two overtime periods before failing to convert their respective “two-point attempts” in the 3rd overtime.

Texas A&M’s answer was denied as an attempted reverse pass from quarterback Marcel Reed to receiver Amari Daniels was dropped in the end zone, thus resulting in the overtime loss.
