The Tigers (1-2) stopped
Kolton Browning and the Warhawks to start overtime, and Justin Manton's
37-yard field goal attempt was deflected by Angelo Blackson. Then Tre
Mason rushed for 10 yards, and Kiehl Frazier downed the ball on the next
play to set up Parkey's winning kick.
The
Warhawks (1-1) rallied from 28-7 down to shock Arkansas in overtime a
week ago, a rare victory against the SEC. This one wouldn't have been
that much of a shocker against struggling Auburn, which led 28-14 midway
through the fourth quarter.
Onterio
McCalebb rushed for 128 yards and a 27-yard touchdown on 11 carries for
the Tigers. Kiehl Frazier threw one touchdown pass and caught another,
both 33 yards.
The Warhawks are 4-35 against teams from the SEC but are hardly an automatic victory these days.
Most
Auburn fans didn't stick around long to celebrate the escape against a
team (0-9) and a league (0-19) that has never beaten the Tigers, who
host No. 3 LSU next week.
Browning threw two incompletions in overtime, overthrowing Je'Ron Hamm in the end zone on third down as he was hit by Dee Ford.
He
went 28-of-46 passing for 237 yards and three touchdowns, two in the
final 6:15. He also ran 14 times for 58 yards even if he couldn't
duplicate his 412-yard passing performance against the Razorbacks.
Frazier
rebounded from a five-turnover game against Mississippi State. He
completed 10-of-18 passes for 130 yards and a 33-yard touchdown to
Sammie Coates. Frazier also caught a 33-yard scoring pass after
lateralling to Quan Bray and then sprinting down the sideline after the
receiver threw it back across the field to him.
Frazier attempted just six passes in the second half, completing one 16-yarder.
