Auburn rallies to beat Gamecocks

Newton ran for the three touchdowns and threw for two more to rally No. 17 Auburn to a 35-27 victory over No. 12 South Carolina before a capacity crowd of 87,451 in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Auburn sealed the exciting win when Demond Washington intercepted a pass in the end zone with 33 seconds remaining. Newton's last two scores were touchdown passes, both coming in the fourth quarter. The first one to Philip Lutzenkirchen, a 7-yarder, gave the Tigers the lead. The second to Emory Blake, a 12-yarder, was for insurance. Newton also scored on a 54-yard run, a 3-yard run and a 4-yard run. Auburn improved to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the SEC. South Carolina fell to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the league.
