No need to celebrate yet. Auburn needs to find its offense. Auburn’s defense has accounted for 14 points and has 4 INTs. We are in the middle of the 3rd.
The score is now 21 even. Auburn has just stopped playing (literally) on two plays. One play the dback stopped running on coverage, and the next possession NW broke three tackles, leading to a 50 year touchdown- on a screen play (you heard me right, a screen play).
I apologize for the spelling error in the last post. Auburn is now playing with a sense of urgency. Darvin Adams set up a good drive for a go ahead score for Auburn- making the score AUB 28, NW 21. We held NW and just got the ball back.
After the Auburn score, Ben Tate dunked the ball through the upright, you got it- penalty for too much celebration. This results in great field position for NW. NW scored and Chizik was very upset with Tate. The score AUB 35, NW 27.
Auburn blocked the extra point. Luck will have it that Tate (messing up again) fumbled. NW now has the ball with 2:00 left. NW is driving.
Overtime has been wild! Auburn forced two fumbles that were overturned. Then, we force a missed kick, but we received a roughing the kicker penalty. So, essentially, Auburn has won this game twice, and had it taken away.
Third times a charm. The roughing penalty hurt their only kicker. So, on a fourth and ten from the ten yard line– NW was forced into trying a fake field goal. Auburn snuffed it out, tackled their back two yards short of scoring for a NW win.
So, AU wins the game, finally, for the third time.
