Auburn quarterback TJ Finley entered Saturday's game against Georgia State with just seven pass attempts on the season. He left it as the Tigers' savior.
Finley relieved starter Bo Nix in the third quarter and helped No. 23 Auburn avoid an upset as the Tigers won, 34–24, thanks to a 98-yard fourth-quarter drive that was capped off by a dramatic fourth-down score in the final minute.
Georgia State led, 24–19, and punted to pin Auburn at its own 2-yard line with just over three minutes remaining. Finley then engineered a 13-play scoring drive that culminated with a fourth-and-9 from the Georgia State 10-yard line.
