Auburn Man: Kicker Alex McPherson comes up clutch
AUBURN, Ala. – With an SEC victory on the line, Auburn coach Alex Golesh trusted Alex McPherson Saturday to make it happen.
“I think there were 89,000 people who thought he was going to make it,” Golesh said.
Make it, McPherson did. A 43-yarder with 33 seconds left to clinch Auburn’s 26-23 win over Arkansas.
“He’s shown this Auburn family for a long time that he’s one of the toughest human beings in this program,” Golesh said. “Not fazed by anything.”
It was McPherson’s second game-winner of the season, following his 34-yard kick as time expired to help Auburn knock off No. 1 Georgia 27-24 in Athens in October.
