College Station – In a matchup with survival in the SEC West on the line, the Tigers leaned heavily on running back Kerryon Johnson to deliver a victory. Despite Texas A&M and Auburn having two of the better home field advantages in college football, the road team has won the last six games in this series, ever since the Aggies joined the SEC.
Kerryon Johnson carries the day – literally
Auburn loses this game without Johnson.
With Kamryn Pettway out injured, the Tigers’ coaching staff unwilling to count on anyone else to run the ball, and an uneven passing attack, Johnson carried the team to victory with 145 often-tough yards on 29 exhausting carries.
