ATLANTA, Ga. u2015 Justin Garrett's perseverance was rewarded Saturday.
The Auburn linebacker, who has battled through one injury, and then another in his career, won the starting assignment on this opening day of his senior year. He shined.
Garrett picked up and a fumble and raced 82 yards for a touchdown to help Auburn build an early on the way to a 31-24 win over Louisville in the Georgia Dome.
Garrett said he was thinking just one thing as he and safety Tray Matthews raced away from the Louisville players in their jaunt to the end zone.
