Auburn upsets No. 15 Texas A&M, 43-41, in 4 overtimes, ending Aggies’ SEC title hopes

KeAndre Lambert-Smith’s 2-point conversion catch in the fourth overtime gave Auburn a 43-41 win over No. 15 Texas A&M on Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium. What looked like a potential blowout for the Tigers turned into a tense shootout.

In the first overtime, Jahdae Walker’s 12-yard touchdown catch gave the Aggies a 38-31 lead. Still, Auburn answered on the ensuing possession, aided by a pass interference penalty on Jayvon Thomas, putting the Tigers at the 2-yard line. Jarquez Hunter scored a TD two plays later, sending the game to a second OT.

The two teams traded field goals in the second overtime, with Auburn’s Ian Vachon hitting a 41-yard kick and Texas A&M’s Randy Bond answering with a 42-yard kick.
