Improving to 4-0 on the season, the No. 7 Auburn Tigers knocked off the Texas A&M Aggies, 28-20, on Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station.
Completing 12-20 passes for 100 yards and a score, freshman quarterback Bo Nix continued to win over the Tigers’ fan base with his gritty performances and knack for clutch situations.
Stepping up as the lead back, redshirt sophomore JaTarvious Whitlow ran for 67 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Averaging five yards per carry, Whitlow has racked up 408 yards on the ground in Auburn’s first four games.
