Just a week after needing late heroics to knock off Georgia State, No. 22 Auburn went on the road Saturday night and scored 14 fourth-quarter points to storm back to beat LSU 24-19. The dramatic come-from-behind victory marked Auburn's first in Death Valley since 1999. The visiting Tigers rallied from a 13-0 first-half deficit behind masterful quarterback play from Bo Nix, who had been benched in a dismal performance the week before.
Nix threw for 255 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 74 more and another score, to give first-year Auburn coach Bryan Harsin an early marquee victory. But the statistics hardly tell the story of Nix's heroics. The embattled starter regularly evaded pressure -- sometimes in miraculous ways -- to extend plays and find receivers.
Elsewhere, No. 25 Clemson narrowly avoided another nightmare, squeaking out a 19-13 win over Boston College. A loss would have dropped Clemson to 2-3 for the first time since 2010, and surely out of the rankings for the first time since 2014, but the Eagles fumbled a snap while driving late in the fourth quarter for a potential game-winning score. Instead, Clemson's 30-game home winning streak increased to 31 thanks in large part to another strong defensive outing.
