Aggie head coach Kevin Sumlin said, “We’ve been up and down this year”. This weekend’s match up was an example of a down, as the Aggies couldn’t quite hold onto the Auburn Tigers. Freshman quarterback Nick Starkel had two touchdowns, but Auburn responded to both and more with a final score of 42-27.
