If I ask you to recall how the game started, you’d probably never remember the Bulldogs went three and out on their first possession, right? They did: incomplete pass, seven yard reception, loss of one on a Josh Robinson run, then punt.

That was quickly forgotten because of what happened next.

Ryan Brown tipped a Nick Marshall pass that was intercepted by Jay Hughes. Two plays later Dak Prescott hit Bear Wilson on a 3rd & 11 for a 34 yard touchdown reception that proved why he was called “Bear”.

Auburn got the ball back after the kickoff, but Traveze Calhoun blasted Duke Williams forcing a fumble which Benardrick McKinney recovered. Four plays later Josh Robinson was in the endzone on a one year TD run. 14-0 Dawgs.
