That wasn’t Auburn’s only close call; one week after holding off Mississippi State by three points, the Tigers overcame a 17-0 deficit to pull out an overtime thriller against Clemson. The following week, Auburn trailed South Carolina 20-7 at halftime but came back on four Gamecocks turnovers in the fourth quarter.
