On Sunday, former Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall had a big game for his Saskatchewan Roughriders, contributing scoring plays on both offense and defense.
Marshall, who passed for 2,532 yards for the Tigers in 2014, is now a cornerback in the Canadian Football League, and he was instrumental in handing the Calgary Stampeders their first loss of the season.
Check out this 65-yard pick-six he had in the first quarter:

It’s worth noting that Saskatchewan’s leading rusher on Sunday was also a former Auburn Tiger. Tre Mason rushed for 55 yards on 12 carries, and he helped the Roughriders take down the Stampeders 40-27.
