Auburn stops Baylor at goal line to secure win in Atlanta

Auburn defeated Baylor in a closely contested football game in Atlanta on Saturday. With nine seconds remaining in the contest, Baylor attempted a two-point conversion to secure a win rather than playing for overtime. Quarterback DJ Lagway threw a pass intended for Matthew Klopfenstein, but Auburn safety Eric Winters tackled him at the goal line to prevent the score. The result marked a successful debut for new Auburn coach Alex Golesh. Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown recorded three interceptions in the victory, while Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway was also responsible for two turnovers during the match. ESPN announcer Joe Tessitore called the final defensive stand as Auburn preserved the lead through the closing seconds of the game.
