Taking a Saturday off from covering Auburn football back in 2021, I was at a friend’s daughter’s wedding in Montgomery, watching the ending of the Tigers’ game against Georgia State. Unbelievably, Auburn was a 4th-down conversion away from losing to the Panthers in Bryan Harsin’s first season.
Bo Nix had struggled all game, eventually being replaced at quarterback. The quarterback led Auburn down the field, finding a receiver open for a touchdown on 4th down to end the upset threat.
That quarterback, T.J. Finley, is still looking to play college football again in 2026.

Ironically enough, Finiely spent his (let’s count them together) first, second, third, fourth, fifth, SIXTH season of college football with the Panthers in Atlanta, appearing in seven games while completing 63.
