Auburn Shocks No. 15 Texas A&M in 4-Overtime Thriller

The unranked Tigers upended the Aggies 43-41, dealing a blow to Texas A&M's playoff hopes after a dramatic game-deciding drop in the fourth overtime.

  • Auburn secured a 43-41 victory over Texas A&M with a two-point conversion pass from Payton Thorne to KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the fourth overtime.
  • The Aggies, who rallied from a 21-0 deficit, failed to tie the game when Amari Daniels dropped a potential game-saving pass in the end zone.
  • Auburn's Jarquez Hunter rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns, while quarterback Payton Thorne threw for 301 yards and two scores.
  • The loss significantly damages Texas A&M's chances of making the College Football Playoff, though they can still reach the SEC Championship with a win over No. 3 Texas next week.
  • Auburn fans stormed the field to celebrate the upset, resulting in a $100,000 fine under the SEC's field access policy.
