Texas A&M 41, No. 3 Auburn 38: Freshman Kyle Allen passed for 277 yards and four touchdowns and the Tigers coughed up two fumbles in the final 2:37 as the Aggies held on to snap Auburn's 14-game home winning streak.

Malcome Kennedy caught four passes for 118 yards and a touchdown and Josh Reynolds hauled in six passes for 88 yards and two TDs for Texas A&M (7-3, 3-3 SEC), which ended a three-game conference losing streak. Alonzo Williams recovered two fumbles in Aggies territory in the final minutes to preserve the upset.

Cameron Artis-Payne rushed for a career-high 221 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries and Quan Bray tied a career-high with six receptions for 65 yards and a score for Auburn (7-2, 4-2). Nick Marshall finished 15-of-21 for 219 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 67 yards and two scores.

Allen tossed two touchdown passes in the first 2:07, hitting Kennedy for a 60-yard strike on the Aggies' fourth offensive play and finding Reynolds for a 36-yard TD three plays after Artis-Payne fumbled on Auburn's first play from scrimmage. Auburn pulled even on touchdown runs of 2 and 34 yards from Artis-Payne only to see Allen sling two more TD passes to tie the school freshman record of four and restore the 14-point margin.

The Tigers lined up for a field goal that would have pulled them within eight at the half, but Myles Garrett blocked the kick and DeShazor Everett returned it 65 yards for a touchdown and a 35-17 lead. Auburn scored touchdowns on three straight drives in the second half to get within 41-38 and drove to the Aggies' 2 before losing the ball on a botched handoff, then coughed up its final chance on an errant snap from the Texas A&M 28.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Allen is the first Texas A&M player to pass for four TDs in the first half since Dustin Long in 2002. … Artis-Payne went over 1,000 yards rushing for the season, giving Auburn a 1,000-yard rusher for the sixth consecutive year. … Reynolds' 10 TD catches this season rank fourth in Texas A&M history behind Mike Evans (12), Jeff Fuller (12), and Ryan Swope (11). … Auburn WR D'haquille Williams left in the first half with an injury and did not return.
