Texas A&M’s College Football Playoff hopes are alive and well.
The Aggies, ranked No. 5 in the country, overcame a slew of self-inflicted mistakes and staged a fourth-quarter comeback to beat Auburn 31-20 on the road on Saturday.
A&M dominated the first half but led just 14-10 at the break and later fell behind 20-14 entering the fourth quarter. That’s when a mistake by Auburn flipped A&M’s fortunes.
After converting on a third-and-long play, the Aggies had a first down at the 20-yard line. Kellen Mond went to the air with an eye on his tight end, Jalen Wydermyer.
