Bo Nix, No. 8 Auburn Hang on to Beat Kellen Mond, No. 17 Texas A&M in SEC Play

The No. 8 Auburn Tigers made another early-season statement with Saturday's 28-20 win over the 17th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field.

Auburn started the year with a high-profile win over the Oregon Ducks. Saturday's SEC opener was also the Tigers' first true road game of 2019. Head coach Gus Malzahn's squad showed no fear and continued to make a strong case as one of the nation's best teams.

The Tigers looked to be on cruise control most of the way, taking a 28-10 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

Auburn's rushing attack carried the offense with 193 yards and two scores on 42 carries.
