While the college football world will talk about a pivotal play late in the Arkansas-Auburn game on Saturday, Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn and his players were just all about surviving.
Bo Nix’s controversial fumble and would-be spike with less than a minute left in the game were reviewed and the ruling set the stage for Anders Carlson’s 39-yard field goal to lift No. 13 Auburn to a 30-28 win.
The boot kept Arkansas (1-2), who trailed 17-0 in the second quarter, from scoring a second straight upset over a top 20 foe after losing its previous 20 SEC games.
