With Auburn facing an embarrassing loss at home to Georgia State, the Tigers went with the quarterback who transferred in following spring camp. Finley came into the game completing nine of 16 attempts for 97 yards and one touchdown.

More importantly, Finely engineered the game-winning drive that went 98 yards. On a fourth-down play in the red zone, he found Shedrick Jackson in the back of the end zone with just 0:45 left in the game.
