Auburn had a chance to tie second ranked Clemson and two Hail Mary passes to end the game, but both shots to the end zone fell to the turf for the homestanding Tigers in Jordan-Hare Stadium. When time expired, Clemson had held on for the 16-13 win.
The Auburn defense played well enough to keep the home team in the game, but Gus Malzahn’s offense never materialized.

I am an Alabama fan but Auburn gave them a really good game. I am sure Auburn fans are proud of the team for frightening so hard and I am sure that they gave Clemson a surprise.
