Matchup

Recap

Auburn surged to a strong road win at McLane Stadium, powering past Baylor 38-24 behind quarterback Jackson Arnold's two rushing touchdowns. The Tigers maintained control throughout, building a 24-10 third-quarter lead before immediately answering a Baylor score with Rayshawn Pleasant's electric 98-yard kick return touchdown. Despite Sawyer Robertson throwing three touchdown passes for the Bears, Auburn's ground attack and timely special teams play proved too much for Baylor to overcome.
