WATCH: Michael Clemons takes the scoop and score 24 yards for the touchdown
Texas A&M defensive lineman Micheal Clemons flipped the Auburn–Texas A&M game around tonight in a hurry. The game was mostly back and forth with field goals for much of the contest, but Clemons had a critical play that helped to put the game out of reach for the Aggies.
Texas A&M was up 9-3 in the 4th quarter, before the game-changing fumble return.
With 13:15 remaining in the game on 2nd and 10, Auburn quarterback Bo Nix rolled to his left, where he was pressured by Texas A&M defensive lineman Jayden Peevy. As Nix was going to the ground, he simply dropped the football at the 24 yard line.

After the score, that put Texas A&M up 17-3 after they scored a two-point conversion.
The crowd at Kyle Field was the second largest crowd in the stadium’s history, per play-by-play announcer Brad Nessler who was calling the game.
Texas A&M defense continues to dominate
The Aggie defensive line has been ferocious all season long and that’s just a small sample of how much havoc they can cause in a game.
Texas A&M won the game 20-3, and it was in large part thanks to an incredible defensive effort.
