Auburn's Bo Nix scrambles for incredible touchdown run vs. Texas A&M
Auburn is looking for an upset against Texas A&M
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Auburn quarterback Bo Nix may not be having the best season, but he had a highlight-reel play against No. 5 Texas A&M that gave the Tigers a lead in the second quarter.
Nix snapped the ball from the Aggies’ 5-yard line and planned to run a read-option play. It appeared, at first, that the Texas A&M defense swallowed him up in the backfield.
But Nix kept his legs going and broke free of what looked like a sure sack that would have pushed Auburn back some yards.
